Sister Natalie waits in silence for her breakfast toast. At 91, she is the oldest of the sisters. She became a nun in 1945. "I felt the Lord wanted me to do it. I tried to talk Him out of it, but I couldn't," she said. The Poor Clares live a life of seclusion, cloistered at the monastery. Sister Natalie said she is in a "spirit of prayer all day long, constantly aware of the presence of God."
