Description

My wonderful aunt has devoted her life to God as a Catholic nun. Even with her advanced stage of Parkinson's she lives her life with joy. A quiet moment in her chapel praying the rosary. Merry Christmas!

Carmody, this beautiful image touches me deeply! I love the Catholic devotion of my parents and grandparents generations! This puts me in mind of Mother Theresa and her amazing devotion to Jesus! #11214537
