Even blindness can help us in our service to God.
*******************************
These Sacramentine Sisters of Don Orione are offering something very particular for the salvation of the world: their blindness.
They are a community of blind nuns, consecrated to perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
They wear a distinctive white habit, a red scapular, and a white Host embroidered on the chest.
They are a branch of the Little Missionary Sisters of Charity.(LMSC)
Their mission is to offer God their privation of sight for those who do not know the truth yet, so that they may come to God, the light of the world.
In addition they seek to support with Eucharistic Adoration and sacrifice the apostolic action of the LMSC and the Sons of Divine Providence,the two congregations founded by Saint Luigi Orione.
The congregation is present in Italy, Spain, the Philippines, Kenya, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile.
The three sisters are currently in Chile
They attend computer classes,
so that they may be able to bring before the Blessed Sacrament
the numerous petitions
they receive from many faithful
through their Facebook account,
where they offer to pray for each intention they receive.
One of the above Sisters had an accident when she was a child,
which left her with a severe vision problems,
which gradually increased
and she became completely
blind when she was 30.
She thanks God for what had happened, because, this abled her to enter the congregation.
Her blindness has helped her to serve Jesus by dedicating her life for the salvation of souls.
The sisters present to the Lord the poverty, sufferings, and sorrows of humanity every day in their prayer and adoration.
The sisters dedicate each day of the week for a special intention:
Mondays for the sick,
Tuesday for young people,
Wednesdays for peace,
Thursdays for vocations,
Fridays for the elderly,
Saturdays for children,
and
Sundays for families.
We can serve God with whatever God has given us, even it be blindness, as in the case of the Sacramentine Sisters.
