Quotations:

"The Cloistered Sister adoring before the Tabernacle is the most effective representative of mankind" -- Pope John XXIII

"You are not exiles from the great communion of the family of Christ. You are specialists. And your specialty ... is constructive for the Church and for the whole of society. You preserve and affirm values which are needed today more than ever ... the supreme and exclusive seeking of God, in solitude and silence, in humble and common work, in order to give life a meaning of continual prayer, of a 'sacrifice of praise' celebrated together, accomplished together, in joyful and fraternal charity". -- Pope Paul VI
