Róża's early years in pre-war Poland were spent in the carefree environment of her family's rural estate. The advent of World War II separated parents and children, but as a talented and independent personality, Róża succeeded in facing the difficulties and hardships that life brought her. In the early '40s she was introduced to the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Tyniec: under their influence the young woman's spiritual life blossomed as she discovered God in nature, friendship, Scripture, and the liturgy. In 1951, after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, Róża entered the Benedictine Nuns of Perpetual Adoration in Warsaw, becoming Sister Bernadette of the Cross. Those were the most difficult years under the Communist regime for Poland; the monastery was being rebuilt after having been bombed in the war and yet it's spiritual life flourished. As a spiritual daughter of Mother Mectilde de Bar (1614-1698), she grasped fully what it meant to be a sacrificial victim and responded generously to the love of God who remains ever present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
