- The Trappistine Sisters at Mount Saint Mary's Abbey in Wrentham, MA lead simple consecrated lives of prayer as lived in the heart of the Church for all their brothers and sisters in the world. This documentary offers a glimpse of their daily lives.
Your prayers work sisters. When you pray for the conversion of poor sinners. I was an atheist, homeless and addicted to heroin. I converted to the faith 5 years ago and my whole life changed. I know you don’t see the fruits of your prayers but they are so very real. Thank you for praying for me. I still so need your prayers for growth in holiness. May God bless you abundantly for all you do.
Meagan Montanari God bless you! I am so glad to hear that!💖❤
Amen remember they need our prayers also... peace be upon you
Pray this short prayer very often : Jesus, Mary , I love you, Save Souls ❤️
May God bless you Meagan! You also pray this prayer "Lord jesus christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner" pray for me, I will pray for you. I am an orthodox, God turn my life around
F A “
the last thing one of the young women said in this beautiful video was, "i want you at all times." yes, lord jesus, i want you at all times too. thank you that even though i live a 'normal' everyday life, i too can have you at all times.
"After a while it becomes like a seamless garment" What a cool way to describe a worshipful work ethic.
I am an aspiring sister and I'm going to the convent in 15 days and this video just makes me tear up. I do hope I'd be a sister who will do nothing but the will of God.
So, u are on convent?
she hasn't responded so yes i think she is

Amen.
The sisters talk about God like they are in love with the love of their lives.
Amen, it's so beautiful!
He is completely
and that's what God wants us all to do, to be in love with him. It's not just the role of the nun to love him. It's all of our will to do God's Will which is to love him above all else and neighbor.
That's how I am with Jesus🔥
You said it all.
I was brought up catholic, I was actually in the process of becoming a catholic priest . Now I am struggling with my faith but when i see videos like this I feel joy and happiness.
Maybe it is a call of the Spirit... struggling does bring many opportunities for growth once we navigate properly... it is in doubts and struggles that we mature...
It is about the journey.
I was in a religious community with final vows. I left 6 years ago and now have private vows and work in prison ministry. I could not be the chaplain I am today with the 5 years of darkness I endured at the end of my formal religious life.
He leads me.
Exactly like me struggling with my faith, am confused now, I don't know wat to believe..
I will add you Dan Abraham to my prayers and hope you find your way, God Bless
Danialle Sneed I don't want to be presumptuous, but if you could make the same prayer for me it would mean so much. Thank you and God bless you as well as so many of us who are searching......peace
If I could go back in time, this would be my life.
It can be Now if you wish. Just ask God to prepare the appropriate way for you to live the life He desires for you. God bless you.
You don't have to join a convent to be alone with our Lord. You can do this at home. I am.
@MAKEUP LADY Not necessarily wear a nuns habit but just being alone w/Him. I had my tv disconnected because it was separating me from my time alone with Jesus. Also social media, facebook RUclips, etc. rob us. Spend less time w/those and more time with Him as He leads you. Be ever mindful of His unfailing love and we can't do that if half our time is spent in worldly pleasures. God bless you.
MAKEUP LADY, I also think that as we age, convents/monastaries don't want us do to our aging and getting sicker/weaker with each passing birthday. Perhaps they don't want to become nursing homes, just a thought. Blessings, Sally
I’ve watched this documentary over and over. Sometimes the faces and voices of these unique, beautiful women come into my mind from out of nowhere, and I imagine them in this place and wonder what they are doing. The interviews in this are truly outstanding, providing such a personal glimpse into a rare form of life. Thank you for this documentary, and thank you to the Trappistines for inspiring me to live my life more closely united with God.
Amen same here
yes, I feel the same way. This are REAL WOMEN, beautiful, loving, giving, pious, pure, honest. The World needs such women, in the convents but also in the world, as wives and mothers, sisters, co-workers and friends
So many people go around thumping their chests proclaiming they're the real Christians in this world, do as I do, think as I think blah blah let me run your life for you. But when I see these ladies, there's such incredible gentleness, wide openness to people just as they are. They may keep a very strict observance, (it is unlikely I could maintain such constant discipline!) but they are some of the most inviting and peaceful people I've ever seen. You can feel it where Christ really dwells, He saturates the environment with peace. I can feel the contrast with people and places just doing lip service. And for me it feels like one can't help but be drawn to Him like a magnet. It's just so extraordinary that these ladies have achieved a state where they have stepped aside in themselves to just the exact right level where you can see both Him and themselves as followers of Him, and what it looks like when someone has accepted His invitation and His grace. It's as if in surrendering themselves they've become more of an individual. It's paradoxical and miraculous. People like this are truly light and leaven in a needy world, may they always prosper.
At 5:12
Q: Why did you come?
A: It's Him.
Q: What do you seek?
A: It's Him.
Q: Why do you stay?
A: Can't live without Him.
----WOW Those words are pure enlightening.
Dueng Design I’ve watched this a few times and it makes me cry every time! So beautiful :)
Yes. So precious

@@VoicesofHistory Let us know how your visit goes 😍

How quiet and filled with deep joy these sisters seem to be in comparison with the stress and confusion of the outside world.The call must be very sincere for them to devote their lives to prayer like this. Blessings to you all.
Yeah and it takes years to become a nun. I totally believe it is a sincere call.
I want to live the rest of my life like this. Pray for me blessed Mother. 🙏🏻💙
Amen! AVE MARIA!
My name is Treasa Veigas. I would love to be a part of this Community. I am a retired Educationist. I live in India.
I'm Muslim but I give most respect to sisters 😊😊😊💖💖💖
Have you ever read up on Christianity?
rana hammad May you meet Jesus, the Saviour of the world. He loves you deeply. I pray that he will take you on a journey of discovering his beauty, grace and infinite peace. Many blessings to you and your whole family.
@@vinceonyoutube Hi - I'm wondering what you meant by this question?
@@hanlieloyd9260 Muslims love Jesus too as well as his Mother Mary. Mary is mentioned more in the Holy Quoran than in the Bible. Try saying a harm word about Jesus to a Muslim, you'll get an earful.
@@Richbar-qe6bx hello and greetings, how do we reconcile Qur'an Surah 9:29 "FIGHT those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture, (Jews and Christians) - fight until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled." How? Also Islam denies Christ died on the cross claiming "Allah" substituted him with someone who looked like Christ. Also Muhammad engaged to Aisha, a 6-year-old girl having sex with her at 9-years-old and so on. Peace.
I’m a cradle Catholic, but I chose a life of sin over God until last summer, became a nondenominational Christian, was anti Catholic and spoke out as an “ex Catholic”, and reverted shortly after I graduated high school. There was something about those couple days of silence that made me really think about my beliefs away from those I was closest to. My conversion was fast, even though I was hesitant and that is a blessing because I am now much more sincere and fulfilled by my faith in Christ. I sincerely believe that it was because of my parents prayers and the powerful prayers of nuns. Thank you for praying for those who long for fulfillment in this world, 🙏🏻
I'm a cradle Catholic who went through an intolerant atheist phase but am now a mere pagan. Okay, I'm joking about that last part... I'm on the fence about God but I no longer try to convince believers otherwise. I started being open to the existence of God's divine majesty when I got a goof telescope.
A beautiful young woman in her 20s recommended watching this video from her own Christian/Bible Channel. She was so inspired by this video that she shared it to inspire us in our quiet time with the Lord. I'm a 65 year old, soon to be Great Grandma. This video touched me so deeply. Thank you Sister's for your prayers and dedication to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
This documentary is therapeutic. I have listened to it multiple times. The personal comments and witness from the sisters give me hope every time, their words draw me to God. Spirit-inspired documentary! Thank you!
I feel the same way. Very beautiful to listen to. The guitarist sang a beautiful song I would like to listen to again
Same brother. Sending prayers from Croatia
100% agreed, I feel exactly the same way. For me, it's the finest and most inspiring documentary on the subject that I have ever seen or that possibly has ever been made.
Very beautiful, I have watched it over 6 times. It just draws me in.
AMEN ! You nailed it
"Put aside anything that does not lead to God." I love that.
Everything eventually leads to God
Shall i quit smoking?
A powerful statement indeed
Wow this I believe is the reason why the Catholic Church is still alive, with all its imperfections. The devotion of these sisters is the saving grace of Catholicism. I guess for those of us who love God but not in monasteries, our response should be : I prefer JESUS more than what I can see, feel, hear. In my daily busy life, I want YOUR presence more than anything. I seek after YOU and YOU ALONE, in everything I do, and in everyone I see, wherever I am . Amen.
Beautiful. Amen.
Belinda G
Amen Sister, there is way more Holiness than imperfection in Catholicism.
@@RGTomoenage11 We have soooo many "unholy" distractions in the RCC... BUT there are plenty of faithful, spirit filled Catholics all OVER the world! EVEN if you're in a parish where you feel there's lots of division and deception going on... TAKE time to visit the sanctuary during an adoration hour or pay attention to someone praying the rosary before Mass... There's your HOPE!!!!
The Catholic Church has suffered persecution many times since Christ started It with Hus Apostles, and we will survive what She is going through right now. When the swamp is drained and we get back to basics, the Catholic Church will come back STRONGER!
@@johnfountain5770 I agree whole heartily with what you saying... It's just hard to see when we're in the middle of such a violent storm...
Look at the smiling faces of senior nuns when listening to the new junior sisters vocation story...warmth.God's love spreading through their smiles...
I noticed that too and it gave me a good feeling inside.
Such a blessing!
Throughout watching this video. I was very emotional and tears ran down my face because a lot of what was said by the sisters, I too have had this same connection to finding God. I want to serve others and make a difference in this world. I have heard the call since I was a child, at one point I wanted to become a nun and spent countless hours in my room praying instead of playing outside with the other kids, but life took me a different direction in life. Here I am again and his call is all I think about day and night. Several years ago, I had two major visions one with Saint Anthony where I ran to him and called out for him and touched his clothing he turned and acknowledged my presence and to say to me that he is listening to my prayers, and another one with our Lord's hand touching my head. It was beautiful and I hold on to that moment because I know it is meant for me to do something greater. As I was praying in the silence in my room, I saw this bright white light brighter than anything I have ever seen and suddenly I saw our Lord's white robe and his and hand. I was in awe and in complete peace as he touched my head for a split second and then I opened my eyes. What a privilege I am here Lord ready to accept your calling and what you ask of me. Amen, Amen, Amen!
is that you in the profile picture? Are you married?
Thank you for sharing your beautiful blessings 🙏
Are you talking about discerning a vocation as a nun? If you are, and assuming that that's not your daughter in the picture - do it! Thank you for sharing. What a beautiful heart you have. God bless you💟✝️
May God reward You for unselfish charity.
"I'm 91, soon to be 92". Wow! Amazing how she looks younger than her age. It"s clear how living a stress free life brings joy to them. It shows everytime they talk.
@Curtis Jones What do you know about her life?
@Curtis Jones Your strident tone entirely lacks the gentle depths of these extraordinary sisters.
and her mind is as sharp as a tack 👌
The older (and hopefully wiser) I become, the more clearly I see that most humans are profoundly dysfunctional in their relationships with the result that very many continuously - consciously and/or unconsciously - need to attack and undermine others. Service to Self rules, rather than Service to Others which is, in any walk of life, far more rewarding and satisfying.
It's not stress free...
God bless you Sisters.
I remember being at a beach here in my homeland of Australia. Looking out at the ocean, standing on bare rocks. With just the gentle sound of the waves. I looked out to the horizon and then closed my eyes and asked God , • lord I want to have you around me everywhere, I want to feel you in the air I breathe, the water I see..”
I opened my eyes... That moment I knew what it meant to be in the presence of the Almighty. I cannot describe it in words but the air I was breathing my was filled with this fullness which I can only describe as Pure love and God. The ocean. The rocks, everything Was filled with a thickness. It was as though I could touch the air as the air was full of the Lord...
Even now I’m getting goosebumps..
That feeling. The presence of the Lord in my life is the only thing I am craving. The only thing I want. I’m ready to leave earthly “needs”..
How beautiful it is that The Lord allows us the ultimate gift of knowing him.
This! I have felt this. This amazing God is worth giving up everything for.
@@elysebuehrer5981 wow..That is so amazing! I actually have tears in my eyes reading what you just wrote! HE truly is worth it all! Bless you Elyse ✝️🌸🥰👍
@@shivadizayin Yes, He is so good. Thank you for sharing your experience in your comment. May God bless you and keep you!
This is the most BASED thing I've ever seen. STRONG women living their life FULLY for God. I, as a man, hope that I can match this strength and devotion to our Lord. What an incredible view we were given of our Sisters fighting the good fight. The pure joy and love these wonderful women have for our Lord is tear jerking. May God bless you every moment of every day. The sacrifice seen here is awesome (in its true meaning) and terrifying! And even THAT pales in comparison to the sacrifice of our Lord. It brings tears to my eyes and a warm, wonderful, welcome, penetrating pain to my heart. Thank you, Sisters.
I love these sisters like they are my own. Sometimes I wish I would not have wasted my youth and good health as a military woman. I'm not even Catholic, but the nuns fascinate me, and make me want to be a purer daughter of The Most High. Thank you for this video. Many blessings.
You didn't waste your time, that was your calling and as for being a pure daughter of the Most High, we still have the chance to do so until we are called back home.
Big hugs
In case you are searching: There are orders, as the Visitation Nuns, founded by St. Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal, who accept later vocations as part of their spirituality and roots! They are founded for women with second or later vocations, as well as women with bodily limitations. One monastey is in Tyringham/ Massachusetts and there are others more in the US. They all have slightly different characters, as the different Cistercian and Benedictine or Franciscan communities have. I know the Sisters of Tyringham. Very kind souls who will help you with further information, even if their monastery might not be the right one. I add two links with a short documentary. Better to contact them personal than reflecting the website because it is a work in progess to be updated.
I must admit, this doco is actually quite calming
@David Joseph to myself
@@KnowledgeVariable To the realm beyond the physical world
Its God
This is a life of silence and solitude which one needs so as to be with Jesus and spend her whole life with God and to pray for the world as Jesus wants her through prayer and work with Jesus.
@@concordiavillanueva9160 But how do they get the motivation for that? with all other interesting things in the world?
Beautiful, stunning documentary. Catholicism has so much beauty and cadence, so happy it is my faith
Me happy too 😊
I have spent time with the Trappistines in Canada. My faith was deeply affected by exposure to life with the Sisters. I went first in 1972 and have been back many times since. I am deeply happy while I am there and always want to stay longer. But as a Mother of three I am very blessed to have 3 9r 4 days a week. Once I stayed in the Pilgroms Retreat House for a week. I have come to understand that the work the sisters do- pray fir the world is the most valuable world ongoing. Just alone the sacrifice of each life to God at the Trappustines must be a very deeply pleasing matter to God I believe. I have always felt a week at the Trappistines prepares me for life outside in the world for 6 months or so. The deep peace of the Trappistines is incontrovertible. Outside the world has chaos and madness. The Trappistines are deeply spiritual women in a physical materialistic world. Yhank God they are there always praying for the world.
I grew up with one of the Sisters that was in this beautiful video. She was an angel when we grew up in Chicago. The last time I saw her was58 years ago. She looks just beautiful. Sister Robert Blough.
John Blakemore hello and greetings. Brillant! How geraced you were - to know a Saint! Shalom.
Allan Lindsay the comment made about Sr. Robert Blough was made by Renie Blakemore- John Blakemore’s wife.
@@johnblakemore2078 hello and blessings Renie! Well I obviously thought the sentiments were expressed by John since they came under his name. So then how lucky you were to having "lived" in the company of a Saint! Virtue of what you write it seems she was "Saintly disposed" from an early age and thence when on to fulfil her commitment to the good God. You might never know, certainly this side of the river, how much her prayers for you have helped you and John through life. (BTW which nun is she? I presume she is in the "background" ) Peace.
Sr. Mary Robert Blough, she was filmed in the barn. She takes care of the animals.
@@johnblakemore2078 hello again. Thank you. Peace.
I think of nuns I imagine older elderly sisters. Seeing the young novices is so sweet. Hard to believe there are young women that have this calling in 2020. But there are, which is very inspiring.
Pamela K hello! Not sure what the date 2020 has to do with matters. Our Blessed Lord's LOVE and CALL is "eternal"! Matt 16 17-19 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church; and the gates of Hell will NEVER prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in Heaven . . . ." The words NEVER PREVAIL are crucial thereby these glorious women these Great Souls are an ongoing response to Christ's LOVE and his CALL, - spacetime is irrelevant. Jesus Christ - the same yesterday, today and FOREVER. Peace.
To ALL the NUNS in the world......
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your SERVICE TO GOD for the human race 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🤗♾🙏✊🤟🤗🤟✌🥰🙏♾🤗
This documentary is inspiring and moving, can't believe I watch this video almost everyday just to get inspiration from these sisters! Very genuine. Truly inspiring. I see in them the love of God and their deep sense of God.
Me too. Power of God. Makes me smile, and I feel love from God.
Michelle Vincoy ......Jesus wants you to feel the Love of God yourself.! Not through the repetitious watching of a TV programme, and having a false sense of Peace as a result of that.
Turn to JESUS, give your life to Him.! HE LOVES YOU . HE WANTS YOU TO LOVE HIM FOR YOURSELF. Open your heart to Him, He loves you and has a Plan for YOUR OWN LIFE!
Experience YOUR OWN Peace, Love, Joy through having Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. Have your own Personal Relationship with him., for He truly weeps with the depth of love He has for you . Praying for you and may He Bless your life with Love and Purpose
Jesus is in my heart and I KNOW He loves me so very , very much.
I am not a Nun but I AM A Child of God and beloved by Him, now and for Eternity. So are you
Lovely to know that Sr. Sofia was voted in as Abbess in 2019, and Sr. Karla made her solemn vow in 2020. The sense of their devotion that comes through the video seems confirmed.
I like how they look so contented, happy, especially when they talk about God. Thank you for this video, it's wonderful to know more about a life all for God
The sister's testimony from 24:15. How beutiful.
She shines with the love of our Lord.
Such a gentle soul is a gift to the world and to the glory of our God in Jesus.
I'd love to ask her to pray with me.
All of the sisters there have such a heart for our Lord.
And i know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that he holds each of their hands.
God bless all of my sisters and brothers in the Lord.
Glory be to GOD.. HE'S ALIVE!
AMEN! AVE MARIA !

25:00 - Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
They are so precious! I love listening to them. They have a very special peace and joy.
Their faces are shining.
I think God is speaking to many of us lately. I've noticed this video was uploaded over 6 months ago but most of the comments are more recent. I've noticed this on many videos about sisters and vocation lately. Something about the sisters deeply speaks to me and makes me feel something very deep because of their selfless ways and dedication to God. Their prayers are making us listen more and more.
What a lovely comment about the truths of intercessory prayer!
If anyone claims that lifestyle to be boring surely they never experienced Christ! He IS fulfillment of our heart's desires beyond words
So true it has made me want to go there
@@susannabonke8552 AMEN Susanna!!

I'm not a catholic nor do I believe in 'god', but I really find this beautiful
Now I know how all my needs were fulfill. Yes, the miracle of your prayers. Truly your prayers are real and so is God Jesus Christ. God sure bless you abundantly . The life worth living.Amen
I have no words...please watch and feel it yourself.
Thank you dear sisters for praying for all of us. Your are in the frontlines of the spiritual battle. God bless you!
Wonderful. Thank you sisters. The world is getting madder. The Lord is the Lord.
This looks like a very healthy community. It’s wonderful to see.
I'm not a Christian, but I still found this really interesting. I admire these ladies for pursuing this path, it doesn't look like an easy life, but they're obviously happy.
Edit- I didn't release so many people had responded to this! Firstly, it seems like a negative comment was posted here and removed before I could see it. I appreciate the people who stuck up for me!
Secondly, I'm afraid I'm just a respectful passer-by with a great interest in different peoples lives, i am NOT a prospective Christain. I know everyone means well, but we all find faith in our own way, in our own time (If at all!) I think it's important to be respectful of that.
Hey Becca, you should totally look more into Christianity and the Word of God.
@Christian Extremist aren't you a happy little ray of darkness 🙄
David Joseph If this is the attitude of a christian person, well, I am happy that I do not believe in any god!!!
@@majbrittcastrupjrgensen2874 his opinion is not that of any Christian I know. I respect people have their own views as I struggled with my faith until my early twenties.
@David Joseph This is exactly why no dialogue is possible with Christians. This inability to respect the Other, to accept the Other in his/ her difference, to understand that the world G' has created is a world of many different voices because humanity expresses itself as a whole, through a large spectrum of voices..
This is what is called in modern language: Fascism
I've been drawn to watch Catholic monastery movies/documentaries, and this one is very instructive and informative to how one can lead their lives in order to be closer to God. The personal comments shared are amazing and thought provoking in how one can apply it to their own lives. Thanks you so much for the spiritual direction, as well as an enlightening video.
I'm here for the same reason.
Catholicism holds God.s great storehouse of the faithful through time...how beautiful are the saintly.
I went to my friend's church and as I was getting up from my seat to take communion I got filled with The Holy Spirit and I was crying and shaking, overwhelming sense of love and peace!!
@@andrewortiz9226, I've only watched the first 15 minutes of this movie and I'm experiencing the same--tears, joy, and an overwhelming sense of love and peace! Thank you for sharing, so I know there are others who get such moments.
@@edmowrey9755 I am sharing that exact feeling. 👍👍
Wow, this is the best video I’ve ever seen on religious life. I never heard people speak this way about God before. Up until this point I thought I was alone in thinking this way.
God bless you and follow your heart!
Dont follow your heart only... it is very deceiving method. Exceed theologically, find a spiritual director, serve others and pray for discernment.We need committed Christians in monasteries as well as in secular society to edify the Body of Christ.
You should go watch the light of love! It's also an awesome video
I also recommend "Life in Hidden Light" here on RUclips. I have six children and would be blessed beyond measure if one or more of them were called to the religious life.
Of course they have difficulties with one another only: they are able to look at their personal differnces through heavenly light🤗🙂
Conforming to the image of Christ as these precious sisters give up their selves, are ready to esteem others better than themselves and live humble lives. Lives of integrity, sacrifice and humility. " It is more blessed to give than to receive ". Worthy life! Amen.
I have seen that smile only on people that know HIM
Yes true worshippers of God have a glow on their face
Oh my goodness, yes I was searching to express that sentiment. Thank you for sharing 💝!
You're absolutely right
truth, the Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make HIS face to shine upon you and be gracious to you, numbers 6,24-25
You are right, you can see if a person is at peace through her/ his eyes.
Such women of courage, individualism, and depth. Such beautiful people. Where did all the good women go? I guess they went to the monasteries. Let no man ever make fun of such beautiful souls....Thank you so much sisters!
Jesus took all the women....
@@CutegirlAudrey Lol😂
😂 funny that question
One of the best documentaries of this kind I've seen. Thank you for letting a good number of the sisters speak for a decent length of time. Their words, borne out of their experience of bliss and pain, speak to those of us who thirst after God. I know I'll be returning to this video.
So inspirational to realise that we have religious praying for us all the time
When I watch this I feel peace and harmony. So much love. Beautiful ❤️
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
As a college sophomore in 1970, I visited Mt. St. Mary's Abbey, but was advised not to apply at that time. I later married the love of my life and we were blessed with six children. I'm grateful for my vocation, and see the beauty of the sisters' life as well. This film movingly portrays their special call.
God bless all these sisters, and everybody watching this video!
D
Thank you
These women are incredible, especially the woman explaining the different ways we serve God in daily life being like the facets of a diamond. Beautiful.
The obvious sanity, authenticity, and grounded presence of these women is the perfect tonic if I ever doubt our amazing belief system. I want to be like them.
I have seen this video innumerable times! it is so inspiring listening to seekers of God!
I love that...the sister who says if she feels pride while on compost charge all she has to do is "take a big sniff!" My faith asks me to recognize that in all things "it is what it is!" :-) God is in the smelly stuff and the flowery stuff! Very nice video. Thank you to the sisters, the writers, and the producers.

I loved watching this documentary, what a beautiful serene life. just to surrender the needs of the ego to God. Well not Just, its a huge step. I so admire these angels. God bless xxx
I am living here in Japan, and was so grateful to have met wonderful sisters from our church. I was very much touched with their passion and love for everyone and most of all to God
I need that desperately too. I suffer from hardness of heart or unwillingness or lack of faith to accept Christ please pray for me. Please.
🙏🏿❤️ I will pray for you. You can pray too. Talk to God. Tell Him what you want. God can soften the hardness in your heart. He can increase your faith.
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4, NKJV).
God wants as many as possible to be saved. So when you pray for help that you can be saved, you’re already praying according to His will and He will answer you!
@@d.r.7396 Thank you for replying. The problem after I've searched my heart is i'm scared and unwilling to trust God and I know He just wants me to trust Him and I'm frustrated because all I feel is a block of fear and unwillingness in my heart. Everytime I've trusted God in the past, it just happened, it was mystical and no stupid overthinking. Everyday I try to force myself to trust Him it doesn't work! I feel like there are two people living inside me, the flesh and the spirit I guess. Why is this happening to me? Why? How do i trust if my heart is acting like a stubborn spoiled toddler? Sorry for the long post, its been a hard year and I haven't felt any peace in long time and the person i'm most angry and frustrated with is myself. Can I pray for God to help me find the trust within? To bring it out somehow?
Holy Spirit is our divine Helper in every need. He was sent to help us in whatever need, issue, problem or obstacle we find ourselves. Of course you should ask God to help you. Who else can?
I feel an amazing sweet peace just watching the video.. I LOVE silence.. all of the sisters look so content, happy and fulfilled .
God bless them all 👼🏼🙏👼🏼
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊😊
You are envied sisters for the amount of peace you have within you
sisters please pray for my son to be free from substance addiction
Sisters please pray for my family; for conversion of hearts from my two daughters; for a deeper love for Jesus, Mary and Joseph. For a Saint Ambrose to enter into their lives and to tell them about God and to get closer to Him. Thank you Lord for the answer to my prayer.
What a beautiful vocation! The Trappistine Sisters" video reminds me that I need to push myself towards holiness too. Thank you Sisters!
This is so beautiful. I cried multiple times while watching...a huge respect to all of sisters 💖God bless 🙏
Our filthy world is there just because of this fully devoted woman's prayer. What a quality, pure and beautiful Godly life.......
Thank you Sisters for making this beautiful documentary. I've watched it a few times now and it brings me so much peace. God Bless You All.
GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!!🙏🏽🤲🏾❤️❤️❤️
I grew up with sisters all through my school and college years they were wonderful ladies , kind but hard , very respected amongst us kids , many of them would have already passed now but I grew to love them .
Sister Marilyn' words did me in... "He' my companion". Christ is with every one of us, so whether in a monastery or a nunnery, or out in the world, whether or not you like it, Christ is with you - always. Before and behind you, to your left and your right, above and below.. the very air you breathe. God bless these brides of Christ and their love for Him. Pray for us, sisters, and thank you for those prayers.. saving souls.
God bless these holy women who are brave to give their lives to God in this very special way. This is a great vocation. May God+ complete what he started+
These women answer to none but themselves. (God obviously, but that has been discussed in detail to be within all of them and in the work she performs as both individual and group.) Deeply inspiring, thanks for the upload.
This is so wonderful. you Sister's are. fabulous. thank you for your prayers . your love. God bless you all .
Beautiful. stunning. inspired and inspired. Glory to thee, Lord Jesus Christ.
AMEN!!
Very inspiring!!!
Amen !!!
Why do believers think they need to use words like "thee" and 'thou?... Pretending they live in biblical times? Do they also say "I'll meet thee at the bowling alley"?
Yes
Our world is so busy and full of things the older you get, the more these things don’t fulfill you and there’s a great void in your soul. It is God calling, but I’m lost, in a world I don’t really belong to. God help us🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
Its not too late. Pray sister
I am always amazed at watching these videos how much this is reflective of my life as wife and mother to my husband and son. So much of what the day is like for the nuns is how my family life is. In many ways, it seems that the sisters have left one family to be with a new family. The same happens when a person marries a spouse. The devotion the sisters give to one another is much the same as I give to my family members. Life as a wife and mother is a life of sacrifice for the sake of love. God called me to this vocation and it takes all of my energy to give to it. I have died to self so many times it has become habit without thinking. Prayer goes on throughout the day. It is a conversation with God. In service is when I sense the Lord's presence the most. I have a very quiet day for the most part and I work at many chores and manage a small family business. Anyone could argue this point but a vocation to the Lord takes the same kind of work and devotion. It is a sacrifice to give up marriage but it is also a sacrifice to be married. It forces you to look at your failings and to pray and go beyond yourself to be what the Lord wants - to love people when they are the most unlovable.
As a Protestant, I completely understand the desire to grow as close to my Heavenly Father as is possible here in this imperfect world. The call to give up everything I’ve known & dedicate my life to my God, my Savior and spreading His word, leading others to Him through the love of my Lord. I am a RN, God called me into nursing from the time I was 5 years old. My precious Mother knew it as well. We were poor, by the world’s standards. But, she would tear strips from old pieces of cloth, sheets, whatever she had and I would use use those as bandages, add popsicle sticks as bandages to “nurse” her, my siblings, even our pet beagle “Sweet Thing.” She said that at one point she couldn’t even see Sweet Thing for all of the bandages & popsicle sticks that I had covered her with....the poor thing couldn’t walk or even wag her tail - LOL!! We didn’t have running hot water until I was probably around 10 years old (I don’t quite remember.) We washed our clothes using a ringer washer or by going to the laundromat up until I was 18 years old. We grew our own vegetables, preserved them & had enough to get us through the winter for the most part. I want my faith to be as great as these holy women. What a great calling. But God a plan for all of us who accept Christ. We are to be just as devoted & with all things, give Him the praise, honor & glory. I love Him because He first loved me, Christ suffered, died for my sins & defeated death rising up from the grave on the 3rd day....for me, an undeserving sinner. Blessings to you all!! ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for sharing! God bless you!
This was beautiful to watch. I know God is speaking and calling so many of us and it is difficult to answer that call when the world has us distracted. Pray for me. I seek God and I pray to find my vocation and to be at the center of his will.
This is an incredible documentary, I had to watch it twice!
I know this will sound crazy, but somehow I was drawn to this video and couldn’t put it down. I’ve always felt like God was trying to reach me. As nothing more than a professional sinner, I’ve also felt like I’ve been trying to ignore him. At 34:30, I’m watching intently as the Sister talks about how she had a distinct sense that God was calling her to this place. Suddenly a lightbulb in my bedroom (burned out for months), suddenly turns on out of nowhere. Whatever the reason is, it’s got me thinking.
Dutillac01 hello and salutations. By the grace of the Good God you are taking the baby steps, may it now get you praying earnestly and fervently. Pray ardently for the Holy Spirit, that you now continue to progress in the Love of God. Shalom.
Fellow professional sinner here...thank you for sharing your story. Nothing is coincidental, i believe God tries to reach us in so many ways!
I think He was telling you something
Wow, praying for you fellow professional sinner!
@@colleenross8752 Yup!

Born non catholic, converts in her teens, and joins the convent 2 years later. This is a very special calling. Very teary a story, catholicism is blessed, very blessed. Happy to hear their stories..
Absolutely the best video of love!
You sisters gave me peaceful time and strengths to put up with my cancer. I believe that your prayers help me having a stronger faith in god.
Beautiful! Life is constant seeking of God!
To live your life dedicated to God and grow spiritually.
AMEN Teresa!! Well said.
What I like is how articulate these women are. How interesting and fresh are their testimonies. It's inspiring.
So beautiful! Thank you dear Sisters for your gorgeous witness! I am inspired to pick up my cross & follow Jesus... once again. 💜🙏🏼
