Charism

A charism is a gift from God for the Church and is the special way a person approaches life.

Mary MacKillop's charism may be summarised as:

A radical trust in the Providence of God,
a loyal service of the Church
a readiness to discern the urgent needs of the time,
faith and courage to risk suffering and failure for the sake of the Kingdom,
and a life of poverty and prayer.
