Sister Mary Cabrini Boland entered eternal life on March 19, 2012. As her monastic community, we prayed with her and spoke to her during the days of her final illness. After her passing, we again gathered around her bed as a community and prayed, sang, cried and rejoiced as we entrusted her to God's care.
Many consider her one of the "giants" in our community...one of our spiritual giants, one of our giants in faith and in monastic life. Although her speech was sometimes labored, she often had wisdom to share with her words. Whenever there was a specially intention or need that required prayer attention, the request always came to her door. One could always be assured of her most fervent and sincere prayers. She will truly be greatly missed.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
Sister Mary Cabrini Boland, OSB
January 31, 1920--March 19, 2012
