Our JoyI found Him whom my soul loves

We are a community of contemplative women in the Diocese of La Crosse, Wisconsin, dedicated to holy adoration of our Eucharistic King, the Child Jesus. Before Him we intercede for the Church, her priests, those who send us their intentions, and the entire world. We live a simple joyful Franciscan life striving daily to grow in the virtues of His Most Sacred Heart.

The work of Eucharistic adorers is often hidden, but it is never unfruitful. While missionaries preach, teachers educate, and priests administer the sacraments, contemplatives sustain the Church by their prayer. Like the hidden roots of a great tree, they nourish countless souls they may never meet. Every hour of adoration becomes a silent plea for priests, families, the suffering, the dying, missionaries, the Church, and the conversion of sinners. Many graces that seem to arrive unnoticed in the world may well have been obtained by a silent, hidden adorer, kneeling faithfully before the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Ultimately, a woman enters a contemplative order because she falls deeply in love with Christ and desires to give Him everything. Her life becomes a quiet but profound witness that God alone is enough, and that prayer is a real and powerful way of serving the Church and the world.
As Saint John Paul II wrote, contemplative communities are like "beacons" that remind the world that God is worthy of our complete love. Though their lives are hidden, the Church believes their prayers have immense power and help sustain the entire Body of Christ.

Happy Feast Day of St. Veronica Giuliani! Her final words were, “I have found Love, Love has let himself be seen! This is the cause of my suffering. Tell everyone about it, tell everyone!”
Born on December 27, 1660 at Mercatello, she was given the baptismal name, Ursula. At the age of 17 she entered the cloistered Capuchin Convent at Citta di Castello in Umbria and took the name Sr. Veronica.
It seems that from the beginning, Veronica was concerned about the fate of sinners and performed great penances in order to obtain their conversion. She had visions of souls that were about to fall into sin, and this made her increase her penances. Sometimes as a reward, Jesus would let her know of specific souls that had changed their ways and turned to Him. At other times, Jesus would let her know of a specific sinner that she needed to pray for. She was a true intercessor before His throne.
She loved to spend time in prayer: “If I were to add up all the occasions of rejoicing in the universe, I would be saying that all this amounts to little or nothing beside what my heart experiences in the presence of God. Love makes the heart leap and dance. Love makes it exult and be festive. Love makes it sing and be silent as it pleases. Love grants it rest and enables it to act. Love possesses it and gives it everything. Love takes it over completely and dwells in it."
Veronica had a lifelong devotion to Christ crucified that eventually became manifested in physical signs. The marks of the crown of thorns appeared on her forehead in 1694 and the five wounds on her body in 1697. In 1727, Veronica died at the age of sixty- seven.
