In this sacred place, Saint Dulce of the Poor lived her last moments among us. The objects in this room—furniture, devotional images, photographs, the promise chair, the oxygen tank—tell a story of pure love and resilience. From the window, our Good Angel answered the requests of the poor on cold nights, throwing blankets to warm them. On October 20, 1991, Saint John Paul II visited the nun here, in her sickbed. After contemplating her for a few seconds, he approached her, whispered a few words, and blessed her. At that moment, her tears fell. It was the meeting of two saints of our time, who, immersed in this atmosphere of holiness and love, conferred sacredness on this space.

"Charity

Stop, beggars of all ages,

Skinny children, stumbling elders,

Stop your cries, so often in vain...

Here comes Charity, smiling sweetly...

As if they were all her brothers,

She caresses them with simplicity;

And no one is left whom she does not please.

But no one sees what falls from her hands.

She passed by smiling... and walked away smiling.

Leaving peace in that crowd:

On each face, the dawn of hope,

She left faith in each heart...

Charity does not even anchor in heaven,

Always watching, always on duty..."
 

7. Wooden and plaster crucifix.

THE PROMISE CHAIR

The reclining wooden chair was used by Saint Dulce dos Pobres to sleep in for almost 30 years, as a result of the grace she received that restored the health of her beloved sister Dulcinha, due to complications from one of her pregnancies, which resulted in the loss of the fetus.

THE OXYGEN CYLINDER

Used by Saint Dulce of the Poor during respiratory crises. With a refined sense of humor, when spending her nights using this device, she would often say, lightheartedly, to those around her that she had spent the whole night at the nightclub.
