Because they voluntarily seclude themselves from worldly affairs and take vows of enclosure which confine them to the convent except in case of severe illness or as in this instance, to further the work of the order, Passionist nuns are rarely photographed. They speak to each other only during meals, occupy their time with work, spiritual readings and prayer.
