Mission statement/description
The whole life of these nuns is harmoniously ordered to the continual remembrance of God. Called by the Lord, they strive to have the same mind as Christ Jesus through the daily celebration of the Eucharist, and the Divine Office. By daily recitation of the Rosary in community, by private prayer, reading and meditation on the Sacred Scripture, in silence and stillness, in Eucharistic adoration, they earnestly seek the face of the Lord and never cease making intercession with Him that all men and women might be saved. As Dominican nuns, they are consecrated to God by solemn vows and have papal enclosure. |
