Her beautiful smile seemed never to be lost, even though her body lay rigid in a coffin, leaving an unfriendly life forever. If we first saw the figure of this beautiful nun from Santa Fe, Argentina named Cecilia Maria, maybe we would think she was a person who was always happy and had never felt the slightest distress.

Even though behind it all, he suffered from a deadly cancer that at any time was ready to take his life.

That is the unique character possessed by the nun who is familiarly called Sister Cecilia. During his lifetime Cecilia Maria dedicated her life to the Carmelite Monastery since 2003. All friends and Church members know Cecilia Maria's personality as a friendly, kind and smiling woman to anyone.

But death seems to be jealous of his happiness, since 6 months ago he was diagnosed by a doctor with tongue cancer. He had tried various treatment therapies but had no results, and the cancer had raged until it spread to his lungs. Although he knew that his life was only a matter of days, Sister Cecilia never complained about the illness she suffered.

Every day he never stops praying and giving thanks. Until that day arrived, when he was serving the congregations of the Catholic Church, Cecilia Maria fell and fainted. He was immediately rushed to the hospital and received treatment.

His physical condition is getting worse, there is no hope of recovery. But on the bed a prison bed, Sister Cecilia was still able to pray and often she sang hymns for the greatness of God, albeit in a low voice that was barely audible.
He also had time to write down his final request on a piece of paper, ‘I was imagining if I died, what would be the atmosphere of my burial later. Perhaps the first thing many people do is hold a solemn prayer, then a joint celebration while singing hymns.

'If God has picked me up, keep praying, don't keep crying for my departure. Because one day we will gather together in the kingdom of God, said Sister Cecilia Maria.

Seconds before the death of this beautiful nun, she still continues to glorify the name of God. And when he breathed his last breath, he smiled triumphantly for conquering death that was feared by all animate living things in the world. Cecilia Maria passed away on June 23, 2016, at the age of 42 years.
