    I believe her when she said that God fulfills all your needs when you live a totally dedicated life to God, so true! They are living a free and clean life, though the Bible declared us all as sinners, but these are humans living away from the sinful, dirty world. Praying for them.

You are bearing the life of a saint through your suffering. Stay strong and hopeful, and know that everything does happen for a reason. As always, I will pray for you. Sending you lots of love and hugs through your difficult times.

    I actually thought about being a nun... all the way back to my teenage years. If I had chose that life I wanted to be a nun that devotes her life in helping others. Most if not all of the churches here you are not allowed out of the monastery. You must stay inside at all times... to me that's crazy. If your devoted to God than be devoted to helping him in every way and that's helping mankind. You can't do that being confined inside the walls of the church.

    • @daisynieves1644
      @daisynieves1644 5 лет назад +13

      Aurora Klippert You could be a sister instead of a nun. The sisters are the religious who are teachers, have books stores, like the Daughters of Saint Paul or, you could work in a nursing home. There are different orders have different ministries. There are Franciscans who do social work. Pray about it to see which order suits you and, speak to your local parish priest. If you are serious about it, I zm sure he can help you. Perhaps you might be called to being a lay religious. Someone who makes promises in a religious order but, remains living in the world. God bless!
