Contemplative and active. Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the center of the life of our Congregation. As Poor Clare contemplative Sisters, we dedicate ourselves to silent prayer for a period of time in the morning as well as the evening; likewise, we have daily adoration in the morning, taking turns of thirty minutes. Once a week we have nightly adoration taking turns of one hour until next morning.

Adoration
“Before the Tabernacle and in the Eucharistic Adoration I say to my beloved: every moment, pulsation and beating of my heart are to be infinite acts of love and gratitude, trust, adoration and reparation on my behalf and in the name of all creatures. That is my intention, to stay in his Tabernacle, doing these acts, and not only in this Tabernacle, but in all tabernacles in the world.” Ma. Ines Teresa
