I am 38 years old and felt the calling recently to give my life to God and I would love, love to be a nun but I am married with two children, one who is 15 and one who is nearly 3. It makes me feel guilty to say it but hopefully when they are older and have their own lives, God will still want me to serve him 🙏🥰 For now I will serve him in whatever capacity I can. Amen

    I grew up in Australia .my parents emigrated from Croatia Australia in 1959 ..I was educated in Catholics school by nuns..loved them all! Needless to say I wanted to be a nun, however, that was not to be..I opted to return to Croatia ( the then Yugoslavia) in 1976..had a large family..six of each gender..lived well ( still do) BUT I often ask myself did I make the right choice?..you see, just because you find yourself in a so-called life-story does NOT mean you made the RIGHT choice..it's the result of your FREE-WILL which, in the majority of cases, is mostly a choice you make in a moment of emotional frenzy..so, it is usually NOT the right, nor wise, choice..well there it is..perhaps my first inkling would have been a much wiser choice.thank you for this exceptional video..blessings!

      Hi. I'm the filmmaker (not one of the nuns). In life, we have lots of choices all the time and it is possible to have multiple options in front of us that are a "right choice" so yes, you made a right choice among many good options.

      Erm, all due respect, being a nun/monk is not the only way to serve. I’m Protestant (Quaker), have often thought about being a nun, but: 1) I’m not willing to convert, and 2) my sight is failing. So, i use the crochet skills i learned in childhood (when my sight was much better, and i was taught by my maternal grandmother) to make scarves, shawls and lap afghans for charity. A F/friend (she is also Quaker, but is a friend ‘outside’ the faith), comes about once/month to help me bring my donations to a Meetinghouse.
