SCHOOL OF LOVE - RTE - Would You Believe
The Cistercian Sisters of St Mary's Abbey, Glencairn, Co Waterford, in Ireland live an austere life based on the Rule of St Benedict, which has barely changed in over 1000 years. Rooted in community, work, prayer and silence, some may see it as a retreat from the world, but the nuns themselves believe this is the best contribution they can make to that world, and the best way for them to get close to God. Over the course of a year, they gave RTÉ's religious documentary series Would You Believe? unique access to film their way of life. This is the resulting film.

    Dear Sisters, I will be writing you a letter in the next day or two, or over the next few days I should say. I hope you are still getting these texts messages after the years have past since this video came out..Anywho, I’m desperately needing your prayers but will explain in letter. I’m desperate to understand, to know more and to have God so closely surrounding my life in all ways. My struggles I think is a battle, a battle I will win for sure, it I need help! Again I will explain more. I’m 63 yrs old and have never wanted God in my life more..Thank you all, THANK YOU!

    Ask many Irish girls who encountered nuns either through education or enforced labour in laundries and they won't have such a rosy eyed view. Many young women were forced into the convents by their religious mad parents under the guise of a 'vocation' and in reality had no business being around young children or the vulnerable in society.

    Sometimes i wish i had chosen a life of god in a monastry ..im 66yrs old now and still wld have thoughts of going to africa or a poor country and help people.. ive lived a fairly traumatic childhood and in adulthood i married ( too young and had to marry) the marriage ended after 32yrs ..howener in that time i had 4 daughters beautiful well balanced good girls .. all 4 of them married now. My youngest girl just married 2 months ago. I have 8 grandchildren now and even 1 great grandchild , my eldest daughter is a grandmother .. i do love god but im not very self disciplined with it ..mayb thats why i yearn to know and love him more .. yous have a beautiful life even in your surroundings , so spiritual. I dee its also hard work , very much team work. God bless you all and remember me in your prayers just that in my life i get as close to god as you are. God bless you all

    I think it is a real shame that orders do not except older people. We have survived the world somehow. Now we want to give our lives fully to Jesus and we come with our own medical our own retirement, so we would not be a burden financially, and could be a much needed prayer warrior for this difficult world we live in today. 65-year-old people are not too old to pray or to work, or to give to religious order. I pray the rules change so others will have an opportunity to give their lives to Jesus.

    I was taught 8 years, age 5 through 11 at an elementary school in Louisiana,USA, taught by Irish NUNS. The most amazing educated and spiritually wise women I ever knew. I thought the whole world would be so educated, speak English in this perfect manner, and I have weathered the storms and temptations of Satan and his minions and have survived until today, my 77TH birthday, and love GOD EVER MORE. I only sometimes wish I’d stayed in the monastery later in life, but three years was a great gift in my life.

    Matthew 6:5-6 'And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly, I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, Who is unseen.'
