The Reverend Mother Ana María del Santísimo Sacramento, one of the most long-standing and respected religious figures in Cuba, recently celebrated her 93rd birthday.
Mother Ana María has spent 68 of her 93 years in the cloistered monastery of the Discalced Carmelite Mothers, in Vedado, Havana.
This woman has dedicated her life to contemplation and prayer to God, with great commitment and devotion. She is originally from Salamanca, Spain.
The Reverend Mother is the only surviving Spanish member left in the Monastery of Havana. Since her entry into the convent, she has been a pillar of the religious community, praying tirelessly for the well-being of the Cuban people.
The celebration of his birthday was marked by an atmosphere of peace and reflection, characteristics typical of the monastic life he has led for over six decades.
Friends and close relatives congratulated her, wishing her a long life and health. The religious community of Havana and devotees from the country recognize the spiritual influence of Mother Ana María, whose life of prayer and sacrifice continues to inspire many.
The Monastery of the Discalced Carmelite Mothers, where they reside, continues to be a beacon of spirituality and prayer in the heart of Havana. They are cloistered nuns, living in silence, solitude, and austerity. They prepare the hosts that are consecrated in the Eucharist throughout Cuba.
The legacy of the Reverend Mother Ana María del Santísimo Sacramento is a living testimony of faith and devotion to contemplative life, dedicated to God and the Cuban people.
