Living in a Convent
"God expects us to have a good community life, to pray well, to work faithfully and
to play cheerfully."
Mother Mary Teresa
Those who have visited our convents know what a special place it is. More important than being our home, it is Jesus' home. He is with us, living in our chapel. So, it isn't surprising that the first place we want to take visitors is to our chapel so that they can spend a little time with Our Lord.
As contemplative-missionaries in the midst of parish life, we strive constantly and in a variety of ways and places to inspire in children of all ages that simple statement of faith, "There He is in the Blessed Sacrament!" Through a vibrant prayer-life and catechetical apostolate, we are blessed to speak with and without words, as teachers and witnesses to Christ's true presence in the Eucharist.
THE MASS
With loving, careful
hands, the convent
sacristan prepares
the altar for Mass.
"Our whole day is
full of good things
for God, but there
is one work of the
day which stands
way above all others.
This is the offering
to God of His Divine
Son....
"The Mass is the
best act of the day."
Mother Mary Teresa
SPIRITUAL READING
The convent library is filled with many helpful books.
"In the Holy Family
we can study, for the
rest of our lives,
Poverty, Chastity
and Obedience for
our own instruction,
and we shall never
exhaust the subject."
Mother Mary Teresa
RECREATION
Recreation includes games, singing and doing enjoyable
things together!
The dishes must be done, why not with a little fun!
"Community life ought to be far better than
even the best home life, for it is the union of a consecrated group."
