Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, praised be Jesus Christ!

My name is Sr. Mary Seraphina. I’m a canonical (Canon 603) hermitess within the Catholic Church. I

live a life of assiduous prayer, penance and silence of solitude with an approved religious Rule of Life.

My usual daily routine is comprised of the following: Mass; adoration at different, set times throughout

the day; spiritual reading; Rosary, Chaplet of Mercy, lectio divina (meditation on Sacred Scripture

especially the Gospels), Divine Office, personal prayer; study and work. My life and horarium are

similar to the monastic life except I am financially responsible for all of my own needs and for living

out my vocation faithfully to the Lord in solitude. I provide for myself with part-time work from my

hermitage – such as creative design of Catholic T-shirts and mugs, sharing the Faith on YouTube,

and assisting a pilgrimage website – as well as with monetary personal gifts from benefactors who

sometimes feel inspired to bless me with their generosity. In living a consecrated life, I’m set apart

exclusively for the Lord, for His glory and praise and for the salvation and sanctification of souls,

under the authority and oversight of our Mother, the Roman Catholic Church.

God bless you and thank you!

Sr. Mary Seraphina
