May God be merciful to you in judgement and grant you the gift of the beatific vision. Adieu dear Sr Celsus

It was with great regret indeed that I heard of the death of Sr. Celsus, may she rest in peace. I had enquired about her very recently at Ladywell Convent.

Sr. Celsus radiated a heavenly joy, a dedicated nun of enormous humility and compassion, who saw God in everybody. I can honestly say that I never met such a gentle and holy person in my whole life. She will long remain ever fresh in my memory. May God be good to her and grant her eternal rest after her long life of dedication to Him.

My sincere sympathy to all who mourn Celi and those recalling their own memories of her these days... I have very special memories of her when I was a young FMDM. Meeting her in Batley when I was a Postulant and living in Community with her in Mount Alvernia, Guildford. She was full of life and energy, and had great zeal for Mission to people. She made the most beautiful fudge and anything she put her hand to was made to perfection. Her relationship with God was her life and her love for God was so evident in her living. She has been a true inspiration to me and always will. Rest in the loving arms of God Celi. You are home now. Caroline 🪻
