Sr. Marie Celeste, OCD (picture)
We offer our prayers and sympathy to our Sisters in Reno. Sr. Susan, OCD, wrote to let us know that Sr. Celeste had peacefully gone to God.
Dear Sisters,
We are so grateful for you prayers that accompanied our beloved Sr. Marie Celeste on her journey to her God. Celeste died peacefully at 8:30 this morning. Pat and Maria who came with Celeste from Morristown in 1970 along with the whole community have taken such gentle care of Celeste this past years and it has been a blessing beyond measure to have Celeste so much a part of our community. Celeste has given so much of her life to painting images of Christ, Mary, our Carmelite Saints, women and children and the marginalized people of our world along with those who have given their lives in care of them. We are so grateful that she is now with them and able to see them face to face. We thank all of of you for your care and prayers.
Susan and all of your sisters in Reno

We offer our prayers and sympathy to our Sisters in Latrobe. Their Sr. Monica died on April 17th, shortly after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. May Monica now be enjoying the fullness of her new life in Christ. There is a legend that those who go before us send back a gift. Hence, we also pray that our Sisters in Latrobe will experience a gift of new blessings in their midst.

March 2005
On Eagle's Wings
On March 12th the Recessional hymn at Eldridge Carmel was “On Eagle's Wings.” Somehow this song chosen for the gospel of the rising of Lazarus, seemed especially appropriate as Sr. Mary Teresa Nies had just entered into eternal life. We will miss Mary and her personal enthusiasm for Carmel and for all that it means for the world.
During the months of her illness, Sister was especially cheered and supported by the prayers of her Sisters in CCA. Sr. Annamae often reminded her of our prayerful support and Sr. Mary, being an extravert, was especially grateful and heartened by the support of our Sisters in Concord Carmel and the Carmel in Varroville, Australia. In her own words: Good on ya, mates!
