How lovely is Your dwelling place, Lord, mighty God!

-Psalm 84
- The Lord set His heart on us and chose us out of love.
  Our Kokomo Poor Clare community was founded on March 6, 1959.
  Our united, joyful and grateful response is to "love Him totally who gave Himself totally for our love" (St. Clare).
  We do this in our cloistered Gospel form of life at the heart of the Church and the world. In this way, we contribute, "with hidden apostolic fruitfulness, to the growth of the People of God" (St. John Paul II, Vita Consecrata # 8).

  The hush, stillness, calm, quietness and tranquility of SILENCE fosters awareness. Silence promotes being awake and aware of reality. Silence allows me to answer those perennial questions: Who am I? Where am I going? How do I get there? Silence keeps me watchful and open to the voice of conscience, to the nudge of the Holy Spirit, and to the needs of my neighbor.
