Charism

Euphrasie Barbier received a particular gift to understand that the Trinity is the source of all missionary activity. Her profound experience of God led her, under the impulse of the Spirit, to found in the Church a religious missionary congregation whose members would live the grace of consecration for the Divine Missions through contemplation, communion and mission.
