We are a cloistered contemplative community of nuns with the charism to keep alive the memory of Christ's Passion. Our Founder, St. Paul of the Cross, said that "the Passion of Jesus Christ is the greatest and most overwhelming work of God's love." As contemplatives, we witness to the primacy and reality of God. As Passionists, our lives are signs that point to Jesus Crucified. "See, how much He loves you?"
Listen to the Sermons of the Flowers
When you take your solitary walks, listen to the sermons of the flowers, the trees, the bushes, the heavens, the sun, and all the world. You will find they preach of love and praise of God, and invite you to magnify the greatness of the Sovereign Artist, who gave them being.
(From a letter of Saint Paul of the Cross to Francis Appiani, July 16, 1738)
