One day I hope to join this convent and their youtube channel reminds me of the life I soon hope to live. I'm still only 12, but I knew I wanted to be a nun since I was 10.
Amen dear
With 💕
God bless your sweet and precious heart. He is indeed calling you. I wish you a blessed and tranquil journey in your precious life. ❤
Amen dear sister. May our Lord God let His face shine on you always.

The world needs the message of Jesus so greatly! God please draw us close to You and to your Presence! 😇❤
"Cloistered Nuns are the beating heart of the Church." So true!
At the end of the day, I say to each his own; I’m all for people doing what makes them happy. However….the idea of someone choosing to give up all of the many beautiful and amazing things life has to offer (and no, I’m not talking about sex), and spending the rest of their life essentially locked away as a prisoner is so unfathomable to me that I almost find it offensive. It almost feels like an affront to our humanity; a tragic waste of this precious thing called life.
We only have one life to live. That’s it. Why choose to shun it completely?
Of course, nuns themselves would greatly protest what I’m saying. They would insist that they have found the only source of true fulfillment. True happiness. They would probably say that the world is the prison, not the monastery. They would likely claim that their path is the only one of true freedom.
But is that really true? Do they actually believe that, or have they been brainwashed? I think they WANT to believe that at least. But do you mean to tell me though that God is such a controlling and humorless egomaniac that he would actually command people to give up their only life and the people in it to spend it worshipping him literally 24/7 in a dreary and bleak monastery? For the rest of their lives? Only communicating with the outside world through a screen and NEVER leaving?
I’ll tell you one thing-that’s not my God.
@@Heffalumpswoozles85I think you’re missing the point. They’ve chosen this path for themselves, not for you, not for anyone else. They love their faith and are devoted to it. Some people choose to waste their lives playing video games, working 9-5, indulging in gluttony to ease the sadness etc but their way of spending their time wisely is through worship. God has not asked anyone of any religion to pray to him 24/7. Some people just choose to as it makes them happy. Doesn’t apply to everyone, as everyone is different.
Oh goodness yes!!
This was a beautiful film. It warms my heart knowing that when life has beaten me beyond recognition and hope seems lost that there are cloistered nuns all over the world praying for me. :)
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Sisters for your sacrifices and for all the prayers. God Bless you all.
They have found the “pearl of great price”…they live in peace praying for all of us! May God continue to bless them.
When you are in love with your beloved and you would definitely give up everything to be alone with your beloved.... great expression! Thank you for sharing this video
A huge AMEN to all those wonderful women who have answered the call to give their lives to pray for our Church. As someone who is fortunate to work alongside Dominican Sisters everyday, I am beyond grateful to have their work and our work backed by these prayers each day. Thank you!
Amen
I teach Religion to 6th and 7th Grade at my parish school. Recently my students asked, "Do we still have nuns?". . . I told them yes, we do. . . I plan on showing them this video to really drive that message home. Thanks for uploading!!
This is wonderful! Thank you for everything you do as an educator and for sharing this with them. God bless you.
I was taught by nuns in a convent school. The most gentle, most loving people I've ever known
My family has known the Discalced Carmelite nuns in San Diego since 1947 when my mom hesitantly rang the bells at the entrance and the “turn” a barrel like structure turned around and from inside Sister Amata said “Deo Gratias” (Thanks be to God ). From that time up to the present , my family has been privileged to have the prayers of the nuns and spiritual counsel at the monastery.
Joy of the Lord is your strength. Thank you.
Thank you, cloistered nuns--I have a feeling that the likes of you are the silent bedrock of humanity.
I love my Dominican sisters❤🙏
God bless you all. You’re all in my prayers. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your prayers for the souls in this world.
Peace always be with you all.
I am so grateful for their prayers 🙏
May God bless these heroic women who have dedicated their lives to praying for the world. They are living the life our Patron St Pio describes: "Never tire of praying, it is what is essential. Prayer shakes the Heart of God, it obtains necessary graces!" Thank you, dear Sisters! We will add you to our Worldwide Adoration Prayer team list
I’m so thankful to these dedicated women praying for us all .
Their joy is all about them living in God’s love.
Their prayers is what holds Gods hand from punishing us for our sins
I thank you for loving Jesus and for your your prayers
May you pray with me that God may mould me into the person that pleases Him and prepare me for priesthood
Every beating heart needs a rib cage to protect it. Likewise every sister needs an enclosure to protect her! Wow . Thank you for all those beating hearts that pray us through the day. Amen.
God is love and peace ❤❤❤
Praise the Lord for these nuns and sisters!!! Amen
I love this. Thank you to our brothers and sisters who proclaim Christ’s faithfulness so boldly!
God Bless you all
How beautiful life and inspiring. May God bless us with gift of prayer life
Well that's a real Pick-Me-Up video... I always think about those that are praying for me here on earth. This is not only a beautiful charism, but a necessary one as well. Temptations abound, and the prayers of these beautiful women of God make a Real difference in our lives. I pray that more women (and men) will receive the Call from God to reshape our world through prayer, fasting , and penance. PAX. Jim
God is love ❤
The rosary is the stairs way to heaven ❤ oh Jesus I surrender myself to you take care of everything Amen 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Thank you, encouraging.💕🌟💕
Awesome group of women 🎉
Thank you for faithfully representing our Catholic faith by dressing the part as an outward sign to the world. Even people of other faiths revere what you represent and how you demonstrate it in your dress. Thank you for making us proud to be Catholic
Yes!!!
Blessed be the ones that live angelical lives
I visited your monastery with my mom when I was quite young! I always wondered what went on beyond those cloister walls! (I used to live in West Bloomfield.) Thank you for this video.
I have been viewing the documentary featured by the cloister nuns. It's highly inspiring. In an affluent society like America, it's amazing that there are Nuns like Cloistered who are spending their time in prayer and fasting. I listened the interviews given by some of the nuns. One among you seems to me from my country's origin Convey my great appreciation to The Rev. Fr who gave short narrations at intervals apart from the whole time narrator
Above all the inside of the Chapel is extraordinarily beautiful which pronounces the gracious presence of Lord Jesus Christ😅😢😢
Beautiful, God bless you
...so beautiful to watch
So Holy, so reverent to Jesus and all done through old wordly non earthly changes to their way of life and their church devtions
The best video I have ever watched in my life!

The background music is far too loud and feels inappropriate intrusion 😢

It hurts to hear what Pope Francis has to say with the severe restrictions on the Latin mass and acceptance and approval and lack of correction upon those promoting evil and idolatrous things.

I want my heaven for me my son and my male partner
God Bless our contemplative Nuns..
But that Altar is horrible...God forgive me..
I AM WITH PRIED A TRANS WOMAN
I've never understood why any women's religious communities would release a video narrated by a male voice. Just doesn't make sense to me. Even when the male voice belongs to a Dominican man, mansplaining a women's order doesn't fly any more. It's an error and it affects the integrity and credibility of the piece. Come into the 21st Century. Otherwise, this is a lovely look at these Dominican nuns and sister(s). THEIR voices are dynamic and enthralling. Thank you very much!
Maybe the cloister is timeless...
Hm, I never sensed that at all. What is wrong with a man acknowledging and supporting what the religious women are doing? There is room for all at the foot of the cross.
I was born and raised Catholic. In my early 20’s, I became absolutely infatuated with nuns/sisters, they were so mysterious, they seemed like they knew the key to happiness. I wanted what they had so I almost became one. 10+ years later, I am so glad I didn’t. You’re seeing a snippet of their lives, not their brutal and honest internal struggles. Falling in love with God is such a bizarre concept and unless these women and priests for that matter as well are all asexual, they’re struggling every day with repressed sexual urges. They’re pushing back against the biological urge to be mothers or just to have intimacy and romance. Some of them are gay, lesbian, or even transgender and are using this as a method to escape that reality because it is so frowned upon in the church. No wonder why so much abuse goes on in the church. These poor souls have stuffed down who they are for decades. Eventually it boils over, it always does. Chastity does not equal holiness.
Protestants pastors are married and yet they're also rapists and biological parents also rape their own children, don't they? Millions of women and children are raped around the world. You should watch the news. Sorry, but your statement makes no sense.
Being a religious sister is a vocation and this is the reason why thousands of nuns and priests are now saints as well as martyrs who have died in the name of our Lord and the church. There is good and bad everywhere.
You would've been a bad nun so I'm glad you stayed away from the religious life.
I will pray for you.
The call to this life is a sacrifice. We deny some part of our lives to fulfill another part. Athletes who deny their appetite for junk food are sacrificing that for a better body. But these who embrace the religious life have sought a better spirit. The spirit of our age is to sacrifice the noblest parts of our life to appease our selfish fleshly desires. In the repressed 1950's, teen suicides were low, much lower than our free and expressive 21st Century. Are there some in the religious life who struggle with sexuality? Yes, but so do people at large, and the rates of suicide and other signs of unhappiness are higher for sexual minorities than for those adhering to Christian ideals. Finally, the cloistered nuns have a strong support group and are sheltered from the assaults and attacks of the World, the Flesh, and the Devil, by virtue of their avoidance of debasing entertainment and appeals (for example, using sex to sell toothpaste and automobiles). You are right that chastity does not equal holiness, but holiness entails chastity, whether within the covenant of marriage (like St. Peter) or the religious (like St. Paul).
@@FrZeile a call to sacrifice your life for something that was made up by man, written in books by man and altered a million times over the years by man. It’s a waste of a perfectly good life but if that’s what makes you happy, please by all means, go ahead. It’s dangerous though because it calls you to live a life that goes against human nature. Imagine that, a god that calls you to goes against the human nature that he designed you with, insane.
@@LittleWaterLily19 Ah, nature...same sex attraction is contrary to nature, is it not? Unless we regard cancer as "natural," where the design of the host cell is subverted into self-destructive activity. I am intrigued by what you mean by "a perfectly good life." You sound like a hedonist, a thorough-going materialist (both perfectly respectable philosophical positions), who does not believe in anything worth sacrificing for. The good news, my friend is that life is MORE than pleasure and sensation, that there are things worth pursuing that make these passing values seem less desirable, worth giving up for the greater good. This was not made up by man, any more than the rules of math or nutrition were "made up." The catholic faith (I use the small c because I am a married Lutheran Pastor) recognizes recognizes that these truths/principles were revealed, although some are written on the heart of humans so that all recognize many of these truths, as did Aristotle, Confucius, etc.
Dear sister would you be kind enough to send me your address as I am in Canada, and always loved to visit a monastery, or send me your email address so I can make enquiries, God bless you Sisters & your ministry.
