Her Charism:  The pulse of God’s action within the soul of a Community is its charism.  It is a developing grace; never stiff or lifeless.  Reparation “born from the Heart of God” is the source and inspiration of this Sister’s consecration in God’s plan of salvation, fulfilled in the obedience of the Son, Whose radiant sign is the Pierced Heart of Jesus on the Cross.  As a handmaid of the Lord, she responds like Mary to do God’s Will in all things.  Like Jesus, she is both priest and victim because she unites her sufferings with those of Jesus for the Church and all people.  The charism of reparation puts prayer and devotion to the Divine Mercy at the center of each day whether she is evangelizing through teaching, giving parish missions, or uniting herself with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.  Reparation is Love and Love is Reparation.  Reparation is also Hope; and Faith is this Sister’s strength!
