The pandemic has changed everyone's life, including that of these Carmelites in Albacete, Spain. In addition to extending their day of prayer, they've put themselves to work.

“We decided to make masks using what we have at home: with fabric, elastic. As you can see, we don't have much left, but then we'll use string, in order to help with meals, as well as those who have to go to work and can't find masks anywhere.”

While making each mask, they pray for whomever will wear it. It's an initiative that has been taken up by nuns around the world.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only son, our Lord...

Being cloistered nuns, they know what it means to live enclosed. That's why they have some tips for those facing quarantine.

“It's true that for us it's a vocation, while for you now it's an obligation. Well, I wanted to tell you that all of my community and I have to be very strong. We have to live these days as a family or with whomever we have around us. If we are alone, may we be capable of taking refuge in the Lord.”

A great example of strength can be found in doctors and nurses, applauded around the world in recent days. That's exactly how this family receives this mother and nurse when she returns home from the hospital.

That's because in the last few days, doctors and nurses have become the family of the sick living in isolation, not only through their words, but through their gestures.

Congratulations! Congratulations! Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Bruno. Happy birthday to you! ...Stop it!
