Prayer to Mary
Mary, tenderly place me near the Heart of your son, Christ Jesus. Help me hear His words of love whispered for my heart alone. Teach me to thirst for His words and to hunger for His Food and Drink joining my brothers and sisters around the altar of His Love. Mary, ask Jesus to increase my longing to be satisfied in Him alone. Amen.

"I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from My Father."
- John 15:15
Our Lady of Tenderness Hermitage is the "desert space" of an anchoress of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen. I live the eremitic/anchoritic life; an ancient form of consecrated life devoted to the praise of God and the conversion of hearts.
As a publicly professed anchoress, I live within the silence and solitude of the hermitage, humbly dependent upon God's grace. My primary ministry of prayer and penance is offered for Our Holy Father, all bishops and clergy, especially the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese of Metuchen, the universal Church and every societal culture throughout the world.
Silent Work in Solitude
An anchoress is financially independent of the diocese within which she belongs. I support myself through the creative work of my hands. Handwork sales help for the payment of personal needs; such as, health insurance and work supplies. Kindly remember me when you are considering a gift for someone. Thank you! What is a Diocesan Anchoress?
Although I am blessed, through the charity of a family, to live here rent free, donations to the Hermitage help for payment of utility bills and other needs that aid in living a life of solitary prayer and work for others.
Our Lady of Tenderness Hermitage is a New Jersey non-profit corporation exempt from Federal income tax as a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code.
