Although they will not directly participate in public events or appear on television broadcasts, the presence of the Clarissan nuns will be fundamental at the most important moment of the Mass to be officiated by the Pope on June 12th in Tenerife.

From the Monastery of Santa Clara in La Laguna, the religious community has been engaged for weeks in a silent, artisanal labor. They have prepared nearly 40,000 Eucharistic hosts, intended for the communion of the thousands of expected attendees. Mother Abbess Sor Pilar Climent emphasizes that this task is part of the order's charism, combining prayer, patience, and manual work.

The host-making process, which has supplied churches across the Canary Islands for decades, begins with a simple mixture of flour and water. After baking, the unleavened bread sheets are meticulously inspected by the sisters to discard any imperfections. For this special occasion, hosts measuring four centimeters in diameter have been chosen, slightly larger than usual to facilitate distribution.

In addition to the hosts, the nuns have also crafted a linen tablecloth, finished with lace, which will cover the papal altar, adhering to liturgical tradition. They have also made a white brocade banner adorned with gold trim and the pontifical coat of arms, which will hang from the main balcony of the Bishopric of Tenerife.

Sor Belén Prieto, one of the most active nuns at 83 years old, recalls the community's immediate response to the commission: "Yes, all of us, yes, yes, yes, with great pleasure." The nuns assure that every item leaving the monastery is accompanied by a prayer for those who will receive or behold it, making this convent a unique "factory of God" where silence also works.
