On December 17, Sr. Ana Paula de Lima of Olinda Priory celebrated her final profession near the Chapel of our Lady of Grace in Buique / PE.
In solemn and joyful procession the sisters, the servers and celebrants
moved from the chapel to the prepared place.
M. Madalena Mendonça, Prioress, questioned Sr. Ana Paula about her readiness
to commit herself for her whole life.
While the people assembled prayed the litany of the Saints,
Sr. Ana Paula prostrated herself in front of the altar as a sign of total surrender.
Bishop José Luiz Ferreira Salles C.Ss.R., who presided over the mass,
blessed Sr. Ana Paula and consecrated her for the Church.
It was a special and joyful event not only for the whole of Olinda Priory,
but also for the town of Buique.
