The best way to die as a Christian is knowing that you’re going to spend eternity with God. Today I’ll share with you the story behind the photo of a reverend sister who died smiling.
Cecilia Maria
Sister Cecilia Maria lived in Teresa and Joseph Monastery in Santa Fe, Argentina, she became a devoted Christian at her youthful age. She graduated as a nurse at the age of 26 and she made her first vow as a discarded Carmelite.
She devoted her life to serving God and she was known for her sweetness, her constant smile, and her violin skills. She spent her years doing the work of God and she left a positive impact on the lives of others around her.
“She was a beautiful lady who spent her years as a good person”.
After many years of Christian service, she became very ill, her illness was caused by cancer of the tongue which had spread down to her lungs. Despite her sickness, she continued doing the right thing and she never stopped praying and smiling. The sickness became worse but she still maintained her positivity.
She knew she was going to die but she didn’t panic or blame God, she continued to maintain her faith, and this was her last wish which she wrote on a paper.
“I was thinking about how I would like my funeral to be. First, some intense prayer and then a great celebration for everyone. Don’t forget to pray but don’t forget to celebrate either!”
Cecilia Maria died at the age of 42 and she died a peaceful death. Though she didn’t spend much time on earth, she impacted the lives of many with her positivity. She truly achieved something during her lifetime and her story serves as a reminder to us that we should always remain positive and nothing should make us turn from good to evil even in the face of death.
