Quotes from Sisters


Your way of life places you at the very heart of the mystery of the Church. You are a hidden power, which creates energy for her fruitful activity.

Beloved Sisters, committed from your cloisters to be witnesses of certain values for which you love, be witnesses to the Lord for the world of today, and instil with your prayer a new breath of life into the Church and into modern man…

Never was the contemplative vocation more precious or more relevant than in our modern, restless world."


Pope John Paul II, to enclosed Nuns
