The Canticle of Simeon

Now dismiss Thy servant, O Lord, in peace, according to Thy
word: For mine own eyes have seen Thy salvation, which
Thou hast prepared in the sight of all the peoples, a light to
reveal Thee to the nations and the glory of Thy people Israel.

Welcome dear Sisters!

We are on our way to a most glorious venture for the sake of our God who loved us and gave Himself for us, and for all who have yet to know His love.

We have heard from many women of all ages and walks of life who desire to seek our Lord's will in religious life, and, in particular, with the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Israel's Hope. We are delighted to send a packet of information to all who inquire. The packet includes an Introduction to our charism and way of life, as well as an Introductory Application for those who wish to apply.

Please feel free to email or to write to us with your request, including any questions you may have.

The Lord bless you and keep you as you seek His holy will,


Sister Rosalind Moss

P.S. Below is our charism in brief:

Daughters of Mary, Mother of Israel's Hope

"A light to reveal Thee to the nations and the glory of Thy people Israel"

Our Charism:

In a word:  Hope.  Taking the Mother of our Savior as our model, guide and support, we desire to echo Mary's "yes" in offering our lives to God as messengers of hope to the world He came to save. As the Blessed Virgin gave birth to the Messiah, the Savior of the world, so we desire to bring the life-giving message of His forgiving, healing love to those who have not yet heard, and to all who long for a sign of His mercy, that the Christ of God may be born in every seeking heart.

Our Apostolate:

As a contemplative-active, evangelistic and teaching community of consecrated women, we wish to give ourselves to a life of prayer and outreach to individuals and families of every race and creed — young and old, rich and poor — with the love of God and the truths of His glorious Church. As fully habited sisters, we desire to be joyful signposts to the God of Hope, reaching out, neighborhood by neighborhood, to those in need, teaching the faith, inviting all to the fullness of life made possible in our beloved Savior, who loved us and gave Himself for us.


"The Virgin Mary, Mother of Hope . . . who incarnated the hope of Israel, who gave the world its Savior, and who remained at the foot of the Cross with steadfast hope, is our model and our support. Most of all, Mary intercedes for us and leads us through the darkness of our trials to the radiant dawn of an encounter with the Risen Christ."

Pope Benedict XVI
24th World Youth Day, March 4, 2009



Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life; rather look to them with full hope as they arise. God, whose very own you are, will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand it, God will carry you in His arms . . .

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cared for you today will take care of you then and every day. He will either shield you from suffering, Or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace. And put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
