A contemplative (but not cloistered) community, the Sisters of Mary Morning Star are an international community who seek to be missionaries of hope. Not serving within a specific apostolate, the Sisters serve in many different areas centered on prayer. During the day they spend time in contemplative prayer and work, each sister having a workshop for various craft works - their only source of income! Sr. Marie Johannah shares their daily schedule, and also how they incorporate a liturgical weekly schedule structured after the Holy Triduum. You can find a story about their Waco, TX prison ministry at National Catholic Register
