A Catholic nun, who was tested Covid 19 positive, spends her time in prayer and meditation at the government quarantine center in Delhi.“I accept God’s will. I am not afraid of death if that is what God wants,” the Sisters of Destitute nun, whose identity cannot be disclosed legally, told Sister Celine, a council member of the congregation’s Santidham province based in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.

Sister Celine, who is in touch with the quarantined nun, told Matters India on April 29 that her companion was tested positive for coronavirus infection on April 28. She now stays at a government-managed quarantine center at Delhi’s Narela area.

Earlier, Archbishop Kuriakose Bharanikulangara of Faridabad urged his people to pray in a special for the infected nun. The convent where the nun lived comes under the Syro-Malabar diocese. All parishes have conducted special prayers and adoration to obtain God’s grace to deal with corona pandemic.

According to Sister Celine, the infected nun was afraid and panicky when a government ambulance came suddenly on April 28 to pick her from their convent in Jahangirpuri, a slum area in Delhi’s northern region.

“But now she has been well settled and mentally prepared to face whatever comes ahead,” said Sister Celine and added that the quarantined nun has a separate room at center.
