“Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?’ And Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you.”

Mesore 16, 1742
Read in full

Mary, who was moved by the angel’s entrance, was unmoved by the miracles.
“Mary,” it is said, “kept all these things in her heart.” (Lk 2:19)
Though she was the mother of the Lord, yet she desired to learn the precepts of the Lord,
and she who brought forth God, yet desired to know God.

Consecrated Sisters

The word “consecrated” means separated from common use to sacred use; by which a person or a thing is dedicated to the service and worship of God by prayers, rites, and ceremonies. Following in the footsteps of the Mother of God, many females responded to the call of service and virginity. St. Phoebe was a deaconess who helped St. Paul (Rom 16:1-2).
