Sr. Jethro draws strength and guidance from Jesus through Eucharistic adoration; from the fidelity and silence of Mother Mary; from Venerable Maria Hueber, who praised God in the sweet and the sour; from the incarnational faith and simplicity of St. Francis, who saw God in and through everything; and from her own deep-rooted faith and inner peace.

Her motto: “Jesus, I trust in you.”
