Meet Sister Dulce Maria


From a very young age, Sister Dulce Maria felt very drawn to the Lord. Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, she was raised in a large traditional family with “Mom and Dad and six siblings,” reports Sister Dulce.
Sister is quick to emphasize that she doesn’t like to be called a healer. “It is the Lord who is the healer. He has to be in the forefront. It’s God’s hands bringing His merciful love to others. I don’t look into a crystal ball, but it is the Lord who sees pain. I’m being used as the instrument of God. It’s like I’m able to see with my hands,” she clarifies.
