Make your heart a living tabernacle of the sweet sacramental Jesus, keep him with you always, and embrace him often with holy affections because these are the arms of the soul.
(Letter of St. Paul of the Cross to Teresa Palozzi, June 8, 1758)
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?"
