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.

God entrusted the earth to mankind and placed Adam in the garden “to cultivate and care for it.” Gardening is therefore not merely labor; it is participation in God’s creative work. When we plant seeds, water the ground, and patiently wait for growth, we imitate the tenderness and patience of the Heavenly Father.

April 26 is the World Day of Prayer for Vocations in 2026. Please pray for good, holy vocations!
“The Lord of life knows us and enlightens our hearts with his loving gaze. Indeed, every vocation begins with the awareness and experience of a God who is love (cf. 1 Jn 4:16). He knows us profoundly; he has counted the hairs of our head (cf. Mt 10:30) and has envisaged for each person a unique path of holiness and service. Yet this awareness must always be reciprocal. We are invited to know God through prayer, listening to the Word, the Sacraments, the life of the Church and works of charity for our brothers and sisters. Like the young Samuel, who unexpectedly heard the voice of the Lord during the night and learned to recognize it with the help of Eli (cf. 1 Sam 3:1–10), we too must create a space for interior silence in order to hear what the Lord desires for our happiness. This is not a matter of lofty ideas or scholarly learning, but of a personal encounter that transforms one’s life. God dwells in our hearts. A vocation entails an intimate dialogue with the One who calls and invites us to respond, despite the deafening noise of the world, with true joy and generosity.” -Pope Leo

The Church prolongs Christ's mission in time: among the many charisms which enrich her, she also cherishes the very precious one of the contemplative life, cultivated in monasteries, as a response to the absolute love of God who in the incarnate Word united himself to humanity in an eternal and unbreakable bond. Monasteries of women express the exclusive union of the Church with Christ her Bridegroom with particular eloquence, reliving the experience of Mary, the Virgin of silence and listening.
A monastery is a true "powerhouse" of spiritual energy that is nourished at the source of contemplation, after the example of prayer to which Jesus devoted himself in solitude, immersing himself totally in dialogue with God the Father, to draw the necessary strength for his saving mission. -St. John Paul II

"I arise today through God’s strength to pilot me; God’s might to uphold me, God’s wisdom to guide me, God’s ear to hear me, God’s word to speak for me, God’s hand to guard me, God’s way to lie before me, God’s shield to protect me afar and near, alone or in a multitude."
St. Patrick
