The sorrowful Mother appeared to St. Paul of the Cross
in the eighteenth
century dressed in the Passionist habit, asking him to found an institute to
remember the sufferings and death of her Son.
Today, the Passionist Nuns, a Roman Catholic cloistered community, live out
this same spirit at their monastery in Erlanger, Kentucky, watching and
waiting at the foot of the Cross with Mary, offering their lives of prayer
and intercession for the world.
