There is nothing sadder than someone being atheist. I feel bad for you not knowing the Lord. So sad to think that if you ever had a sick child you would not pray for them. Also so tragic that when you take your last breath it will be too late. My heart hurts for you
@@michelewalburger9729 I find your message so sad. This woman is showing although she is atheist that she supports and accepts everyone whatever they decide to believe. It's a shame you can't do the same, instead you have to try to make people feel bad for making a choice different from yours. We should accept and love everyone!
@@michelewalburger9729 it is exactly that arrogant self righteous attitude that is the problem. The delusional idea that out of the hundreds if not thousands of religions only -your- religion is 'true'. I don't have to waste my life worrying about being 'good' enough to go to 'heaven' because 'heaven' only exists in your head, I don't have to be scared of 'hell' because it does not exist either. When you die it's over, I'd rather accept that than cling to some comforting delusion. As far as praying, gimme a break. Your child is choking on a piece of food, what are you going to do, pray? really? yea I didn't think so. Religious folk have deluded themselves into believing prayer works, let me tell you, it doesn't. I am more free than you will ever be.

When in Toledo (Spain) we went to visit the tomb of the painter Velazquez, which is guarded by nuns. We started to talk to the sister that was there, and when we say the Mother approaching, she was so serious that we thought she would shoo us away and tell the sister off because of talking to people. But she joined the conversation, and when she saw I was so interested in indian culture (the sister we were talking to was Indian, just like a big number of the convent's sisters), she told us that in Christmas the Indian sisters decided to play a game for the dinner and dressed her up in a saree, jewels and with a bindi for Christmas dinner. The sister was laughing when remembering it, and the love between the sister and the Mother was so visible and pure. Made me feel a little in love with the convent life
There's the sensational aspect of media, but also I think it depends on the era and the ''branch'' (I don't know how to call it, but there's different groups of christian nuns) the people join. Each covent seems to have different approaches, structures and the roles the take in the community would definitely influence the way they interact with each other/outside society. They have different sets of vows, rules and hierarchies, on top of what the current social climate is like. We often see historical depictions of religious people and ways of behaving changes through times even for religious groups :)
I am not a religious person, but watching this gives me pure joy. I deeply respect what you are doing! A lot of people would probably see you entering a convent as giving up live...but I see, that enetring a convent for you is living life to the fullest. This is at least what i think about it, how i recive it :)
Of all the Grotto videos that I have watched thus far, this is my absolute favorite! Just to see all the happiness and joy going on with these women. No they are not sacrificing anything but they are giving their love to Christ. :-)
As a Roman Catholic I feel so blessed that nuns and monks exist. I feel as though you do all the spiritual heavy lifting for us regular people who have to deal with the world and many times need your prayers. My heart goes out to all of you.
I’m publishing a weekly RUclips video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him.. Thank you
I’m a man and did this when I was 18. I joined a cloistered monastery and lived there under strict vows as a monk for 10 years. We also had a 24 hour vigil in our temple. Believe me guys, this girl has a strong heart.
Same^^, also I'm kinda struggling to get up and go pray right now because I always procrastinate on the things I want to do, but then this video popped in my recommended and the girl is like I try to pull myself up out of bed at 1am to pray, and I'm like ugh OK fine I'll get up now 😆
I was the sister of Notre Dame in Covington Kentucky in 1981 and I was 18 years old. I stayed for five years and during those times I made a great friendships and grew closer to God. It was a wonderful experience but at the same time I was definitely not called so I left at age 23. Now I’m 55 years old and I still have contacted some of the sisters who have left and we remember the good times the laughter the funny things that occurred in every day life and I am so grateful for that time even though it wasn’t meant to be. I wish you all the joy
Judith ferris - Thanks for sharing your story. It is nice that you are still in touch with the friends that you made when you were a nun. I am sure it was an important part of your life.
WoW so beautiful! Yeah, it's true, we allí are called un different ways! God wants nuns with all his heart and He loves them so so much, but definetely he would not like everything woman to be in a convent
I’m 21 and I also want to give my whole life to Jesus.. I feel called to the carmelite vocation. I hope the Lord will lead me there, or wherever I’ll be most united to Him❤
To all the people saying it's a waste of time...If becoming a nun is what you want to do and makes you happy then that's a good thing. Everyone is different and not everyone wants the same things in life. Most people who live a "normal" life and do "normal" stuff and have a "normal" career or job aren't too happy. And people who do the "normal" thing and date and get married end up getting cheated on and divorced and end miserable most times.
David#323 It obviously takes sacrifice and commitment to be a nun. And they can leave and break their vows if they choose to. They chose to be in that life, and actually MANY are happy being in it.
It took me 2 years of discernment before I finally decided to enter seminary. Somehow you feel a fire burning inside you, a desire to live a life for God and for God's people. You can only understand or feel it I guess, if you grew up in a fervent Catholic family. So that was in 2002. I was finally ordained a priest in 2013. And I haven't had a single moment of regret so far. Yes you give up your family, your hobbies, your life in a certain way, but as the Gospel says...you earn also a.hundred times more. I hope and pray that many young people will feel God's call.aand respond to it. May God bless young woman and her sisters. Their prayers keep the world going and the fire of love burning.
That's because nothing's going on in their heads, they think it's easier to live in fantasy than face reality. It's suitable for the weak and pathetic, I guess.
@@laneatkinson6441 silence, atheist. It's not their fault that you don't have the intelligence for understanding God's grace. It's either that, or an enormous pride that halts you from admitting the truth
Sister, if you feel the need to pray at 2 am, then the lord is calling you. I showed my mom this video as her aunt was a nun. My mom said how times have changed. She remembers having very strict sisters as teachers in her Catholic school years. She loved seeing you all laugh and having fun. Bless you all.
Beverly thacker Its worth noting that the terrible nun teachers so many older people recall from their childhood 1. Were not that different from public school teachers in the earlier 20th century, when teachers were often very strict, and many schools employed forms of corporal punishment. I think it partlystands out for people because you expect a professional religious to be loving and gentle, so there is a contrast there. 2. Also, these people were sometimes not people who freely chose to be nuns OR teachers. A century ago and even less, it used to be that some Catholic parents with large families would "pick" certain kids to become priests or nuns (I know one woman whose father begged and pleaded with her for years, and was very upset that she utimately said no.) In addition, some orders of non-cloistered nuns would choose what needful job you were going to provide-- if teachers were needed, you would become a teacher, end of story. Nun and Teacher are two jobs that truly require a calling, and forcing people into them is bound to sometimes have very unhappy results!
@@melissasaint3283 You are so right. I know two friends who are teachers by vocation. Even if they hadn't trained for it they would still teach others what they know. They are the best teachers I've ever met. Yet I remember my elementary and highschool teachers (public school) from the sixties and seventies. My first grade teacher was downright cruel; parents ignored our complaints until she finally actually hurt someone where it was obvious. Others told us right in class they only did it for the money, it was a job. A lot of the women teachers were already menopausal, particularly in elementary school, and the mood swings could be terrifying for little kids--this was before it was really understood and helped.
@@Cynnas Psalm 134 Behold, bless the Lord, All you servants of the Lord, Who by night stand in the house of the Lord! Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the Lord. The Lord who made heaven and earth Bless you from Zion! It is mentioned in scripture and sisters of perpetual adoration always have shifts in the chapel for prayer. Some monastic orders have regular hours for prayers with some such as Cistercians starting in the middle of the night and pray the Hours at regular times throughout the day. Not all. Some have reduced it considerably. Others still do, though.
Beverly thacker I like your Mom she had the same percentage as mine- She remembered a couple of abusive nuns- so did U-. my mother said SiS Emelda- screamed at her because Gramps br. her to school early or she would have to walk 5 mills- she showed this to me when I was cold- I am now 60- your mom was right times have changed. Nuns in those days U think, wee very unhappy woman- bless you& your Mom!
I'm not religious nor will become a nun but I recently discovered that I have a calling to midwifery. In a different way, its like serving God- bringing light into this world. Either way, doing an act of service in whatever form that might be is truly magical. Good for her. 🥰
Anita Gomez She will be able to see them later. At this early stage of her training she is learning sacrifice. That is one. But one she wont forever have to give up. She is cloistered and only with other nuns unless in church or in charity. This changes as she progresses. She will have a chance at a college education and she will be given more freedoms (to a point) as she progresses.
Having grown up (and still remain) a faithful practicing Catholic, I remember the exodus from the religious orders in the 1960s and 70s, and watched the aging of those who remained. It is so great to see the recent increase in vocations and especially of young beautiful women being called to the traditional orders. It fills me with such hope for the future of the Church and the world.
Beautiful post, Glen.👌 You're so right to point out how such young, beautiful women (who could go places in the world), chose the "better part" ( JESUS to Martha regarding Mary). When younger, I couldn't get how handsome young men would choose the Priesthood and so too for those young successful women, in joining the Convent. That's testimony to the Call from Above. Happy Easter 2024 ✝️🐰✝️🐣
Everyone who is saying this is a waste of time and life is an embarrassment to every nonreligious/nonChristian person. Respect other people's beliefs please. This girl did nothing to you nor did she criticise you, so please do not look down on her to make yourselves seem better. Thank you.
So true, some people can be so mean. I'm agnostic (still figuring out where I stand in the world etc) and would never disrespect someone's religion/belief/spirituality etc. I'm always open and happy to learn, and she and the sisters seem so happy and just want to spread love and joy. Isn't that all that counts?
i agree, but at the same time i cant blame some people for just associating religion with anger and hate. kinda like its hard to blame some black people for hating white people even though all white people dont hate them. like yes its deff not gonna help us make progress to being more accepting, but like calling them embarassments will just make them defensive also and isnt going to do much either.
The more you give yourself to Jesus, the more he gives back. He pours out his grace down upon his servant. Peace and happiness which money can't not buy.
You can not buy fathers love. It is there or it isn't. You already have his grace, you tell it like some stand closer to jesus than others, that is not correct and very egoistic
Thank you for showing that our modern age Nuns are just "people" too with the same ability to laugh, express themselves & feel joy & sadness throughout their service to God...& NOT to be feared...
Where in the Bible did Jesus Christ said young people be my bride and groom. Who are we deceiving if we weren't Born how could we've been multiplying to the population we have today to get human being with Brian to say I won't because Paul wasn't married and so I
We can all have a slice of this joy by turning off the tv, spending our money on needs and not wants, being satisfied with simple things and getting into the Word of God daily and walking with the Lord Jesus in a relationship instead of a once a week or once a year event. God has always wanted us to obey His commands and love our neighbors as ourselves. If families put down electronic devices and spent time as family, that would help too! I pray the Lord blesses you and uses you as a tool to lead people to Him. Blessings from Texas!
It looks like the sisters are able to express real joy now!. Saint Francis laughed. I'm not Catholic but I really connected to " The Little Flowers Of Saint Francis ". I was setting up a wedding once and met a young Priest. I asked him if he had read this book and was wondering why he said no
ForestGreenKingsfold OrganGeek ......There are many ways to seek the Glory of God. Catholic is one. I am Catholic but I have friends of many religions. We all crave a spiritual nourishing. God knows we all worship Him differently. Religion is a man made idea. You should be part of a religion that feels right to you. If Catholicism is not for you, then you were not meant to worship that way. Even God Himself says "I am called many names."...
Why did you wonder why he said no? There are many many saints and many many writings about and by saints. Not every preist has read every one of them. A lot of time Catholics will have a special saint they look to for inspiration. Sounds like you were inspired by st. Francis and the things he said and accomplished. That's the beauty of the saints, there's something for everyone.
Angie Brodland I hear you. I just assumed all priests have read everything on every saint. I realize now not everyone is drawn to the same thing. I thank you for asking me why I said that.
I think my sister is considering joining a convent. It’s a path I don’t know if I could ever truly take but I couldn’t be more proud of her, it brings me a LOT of joy to see her really finding her place in the world.
God truly gives a calling to his nuns. They know the sacrifice and most give in to the love they feel. There is a special place in Heaven for these devoted women. I admire them greatly.
I LOVE THIS! You can tell that her faith brings her genuine joy, and that she isn’t acting out of fear or shame or expectations. This is what religion should inspire; if your religion doesn’t bring you peace, healing, and joy then it’s time to go find one that does.
I wanted so much to be a nun when I was 29, but was rejected for whatever reason. I live a happy, single life now supporting self and giving charity to those who really need it.
Almost everyone can serve the Lord. These Sisters just do it in a focused, more dedicated manner. We are all representatives of Christ if we stop and think about it...all spiritual brothers and sisters, daughters and sons of God. You can pray any time, anywhere not just in a church or chapel like my blood sister believes. God is everywhere-that"s what I believe.💚❤️💚
@@MarilynLoveYou You're a...whatsacall it? Racist. Yeah, you're a racist. (A convenient all-around word applicable to anyone showing vast amount of ignorance and malice.)
@@MarilynLoveYou And How in thunder did you arrive at that conclusion? You must’ve had a very bad experience with someone who proclaimed to be Catholic but wasn’t.
When I first visited a convent at 16, I was enamored and wanted to spend all the time in the chapel. My peers were busy chasing boys. I wish there was a call for vocations at my parish at that time. My life would have been spent very differently. Please remember to reach out to the teens in your church, and encourage those who show a special love for Jesus.
0:59 right there I could feel with you. Christ is so beautiful... I can't go to a mass without tearing up. How can you not, when He is present with us. We may not see Him, but He is there. Bless your heart for showing your love for Him.
I've felt called to religious life for years now but sadly I am unable to complete RCIA due to agoraphobia and an anti-christian household. My hope is that when I die I might get a Christian funeral due to intent to conversion. St. Barbara pray for me 🙏
Sister Fiat, I first met you almost six years ago at that beautiful youth group, Agape. You were, and remain, a major factor in my faith-life. I remember when I first joined Antioch. You welcomed me into that wonderful community of which you had been a part for so long. As I help prepare for the upcoming Antioch retreat, I recall the joy I had from just being around (then Rachel) and I feel joy that you have now found your vocation as Sister Fiat. I remember the late nights at Antioch last year as I shared a sleep home with Caleb, the last of the Staley Dynasty of Antioch. Please know that your courage and the prayers of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration have greatly impacted me and the discernment of my own vocation. Sister Fiat, your commitment, your "fiat" to God is truly inspiring. May God grant you endless joy and peace in your vocation. Prayers and love always. P.S. I hope one day we might meet again. Maybe a serendipitous encounter on my way in/out of one of my visits to the Perpetual Adoration Chapel on the Hill.
Awww this brought me back when watching the nuns in my catholic school and highschool, they were always so happy and when they did activities for the students they always did their best, even though many students didn't cooperate because they found religious related activities boring. I don't think I'd be able to become a nun, since ever since I was little I knew I wanted to have a husband and kids, but I'll always appreciate their kindness :)
Beautiful..I feel the same way..being married and raising children..that the Lord shows me his love and how to love through my family..it is also a holy calling
We can serve the lord in different ways too. He doesn’t call everybody to the same type of service just what he has gifted us to do. We are not all gifted with the same things. I worked in a store for many years. I considered it my mission to serve God in that place and I was blessed.
I'm personally not Catholic or even religious, but most of my mom's family is. 3 of my great aunts were nuns and another family member was also a nun. They joined right out of high school and lived their entire lives in their order, and were happy. One was a teacher in their school, and one was an RN in their hospital. They do have lives, but a large part is devoted to God. Sadly all have passed away. I know for sure that their order help out a lot in their local community. And in their order they are allowed to call family. This young woman seems very happy and strong in her choice, I wish her much luck and joy.
Kelsey S. - there is a choice that we all must make. The Bible is littered with scriptures about not hardening our hearts. There are countless warnings about hell and the danger of unbelief. There is no way to God except through belief in Jesus. Did you know that Heaven is a free gift from God? Billions of people go to bed every night wondering if they have been “good enough” to go to heaven. There is no need to live in fear and doubt. Jesus taught that you can “know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” There are many passages in the Bible that teach the truth about Heaven being a free gift from God because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, not by our own good works. One of the most clear and important passages is from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians: Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Most people think that Heaven is a riddle which can never be solved. This is not true! The Bible is very clear about how you get to Heaven, and how it comes by faith in Jesus Christ, not by trusting in our own good works. We are living in the dispensation of the grace of God, by believing and trusting the gospel of salvation (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) given to our Apostle Paul by Jesus Christ you are saved and sealed with the holy Spirit of promise till the day of redemption!!! Ephesians 1:13 - King James Version 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Romans 2:16 - King James Version 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Paul's Gospel - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4). For solid Bible study, please visit ''Truth Time Radio'' - also on youtube - learn the truth and unlearn the lies! Have a blessed day with insight, wisdom and discernment!
I am Protestant but appreciate many things about the Catholic faith. I love this woman's devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. I love what she said about Love having done a crazy thing in incarnating for us, in being crucified for us (and I would add, rising from the dead, ascending to the right hand of the Father, ruling and reigning forever, amen). What we do upon hearing of Jesus' salvific work is simply a response, not part of the deal of eternal life, which is one of the biggest differences between Protestantism and Catholicism in Christianity. Nevertheless, this woman's faith and devotion to the Lord inspires me to live a life of radical devotion and love for our Savior as well. A sweet video.
oh my goodness thank you youtube for this recommendation! my beloved second grade teacher sister lusetta was in this video. one of the best teachers i’ve ever had, it was amazing to see her smile and dance again!
Happiness without the Lord, is impossible, either going to a Convent, Marriage with or with out children, Single , Focusing a Mission...only with The Lord's Love in our hearts the whole world may fall apart and stand still... 🙏🙏🙏🙏 For this younge woman, beginning her adulthood, may God's blessings spread throughout her life as she had a call that she heard. God Bless all.
What a bond of Sisterhood... It's wonderful that at that age she can make such a wonderful commitment. I just definitely couldn't handle being away from my family.
Praying for more vocations for nuns especially the nuns of Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament of Edgemont, a 106 y/o convent and only 4 nuns keeps the congregation alive.
Respect to all nun dedicated their life helping and serving Lord. I seen their works taking care of orphans 24/7 living to different part of the world with different culture is hard.
I wish all people could know God the way us Catholics do. I tell others there’s a difference in knowledge of God and being in love with Him. It’s so beautiful there are no earthly words to express how and what He is. God Bless
I love watching videos about people who devote themselves to Gods calling and purpose for them! Thank you for sharing this! I personally have been inspired and have found a sense of calling in the New Message from God - a spiritual teaching which asks us to listen within and follow the river of intention which represents the love of God... truly profound, beautiful and honest communication to a world that needs it so much.
The light, the joy in her eyes... It's something out of this world and that you won't find anywhere else... How can somebody not believe in our Lord seeing these testimonies

I consider myself agnostic atheist (kinda) but holy shit ! This video is beautiful! For the people that are saying that she is giving up her life or that it's a waste of time... It literally doesn't matter what you think. For her this is living life. Living life means doing the things you love the most and if she loves and she wants to do that, I don't see anything wrong with it, and neither should you. She is not doing any harm to others around her. That is what happiness and living life is. We can all learn something from her, it is literally never too early to live your life. You should never wait for the right moment to be happy, just do the things you love and that should bring you love and happiness for a lifetime.
It’s an honor to be given a peek into the life of a bride of Christ. Thank you for posting. Hopefully this will encourage others who have a calling to the “religious” life but are uncertain.
Truly wonderful. So rare these days to see people who are genuinely joyful. Most people have a plastic smile for every occasion. I call it teeth-flashing.
All I know is my Nuns in Catholic grade school were 5 times more strict than my Marine Corps drill instructors and like my Drill Instructors I will never forget my Nuns names...........all 8 of them.
My school principal in infant school was a nun who ruled with an iron fist. Everyone was terrified of her but she commanded respect and demanded high standards from everyone.
When my mom was around her 20s, there was a time one of her long time friends who had entered the convent a year before had finally been ordained. The friend invited my mom and her other friends in a spiritual retreat. Sort of introduction to the newly ordained + the annual recruitment. My mom and her friends joined the recruitment because of various reasons. Some felt trying, some felt like it was their calling (like my mom's), while one just doesn't want to be left out of the experience. Out of 7 friends, the one who just doesn't want to be left out was the only person who actually saw it through and became a nun. The calling to this path of life is really God guided. My mom always knew prayer and helping others was her vocation but being ordained wasn't her calling.
I wish you the very best of luck on your journey sister. I admire you for following your path and putting everything you have into your commitment. Much respect.
I'm 23 now. Why was it on my recommendations?! I was thinking about to join convent. But never searched for anything like this, I swear! Is it a call?!!
Ginnybellebeauty ...No. Coincidence does not equal God speaking to you. His sheep know His voice. This is a decision that will affect the rest of your life which you will need to devote much prayer to. This is not a feeling. This is knowing...for certain, that Jesus is calling you into full time service to Him that will come at great cost to you. Pray Hard.
@Jett Philips I used to think this way, but look around you Jett - our men are weak, our women whores - its acceptable today to murder your own unborn child. This world is fallen, we are rotten and so long as you keep your attitude you will not walk closer to the Lord and his light.
I as well feel the same ever since I was a small girl❤...that beautiful call from the Divine❤ Lord to dedicate yourself to Him ..and then this video pops up❤😂....
My mom is at adoration right now. It's amazing how much she's changed for the better since she started going. I'm not religious. I do have spiritual connections to nature and life and the pain of others, and I consider myself a witch. But it's still nice to see people who know their life and know their love.
To give up one's worldly desires for the sake of answering a call from God, is the highest form of becoming relevant on earth in a different form. It's really cool to feel that while I am doing something here on earth, some sisters like her are praying for us including me. May the Lord bless them always!
Beautiful 🌹 *Saint Francis de Sales teaches us that God does not reward according to one’s state in life, but how the soul executes the office given him...
I'm grateful to those who spend their days in prayer. Our world needs prayer for us all especially after the state approval of late term abortions. May God have mercy on our country.
It's not surprising that so many of the comments state these nuns are wasting their lives because they are an enclosed order and don't go out into the world to help others. I certainly don't know anything about this particular order but do those who are criticizing know anything about this order? Maybe they DO help the outside world by devoting their time in prayer, it certainly isn't my place to judge them. It doesn't always have to be about practical help or working in the community. What may be seen as a waste of time and their lives to some may be considered hugely beneficial to others. I guess those of us who've never felt drawn to a life of devotion can't comprehend what it is like.
I live in a town with these nuns (I personally know two in this video) and they aren’t cloistered. They actually work jobs throughout the town. They’re hospital workers and teachers among other things. They devote their lives in service to other people!
JohnPaul Dixon Look at it this way. Prayer can be offered up sincerely & to great effect in people's lives --- whether for their own or for others' --- even if one is old & feeble or completely bedridden. What, then, does this negative attitude say to such persons? That they are useless because they don't "get out & participate actively"? Everyone has their own contribution to make & everyone must be respected in the dignity of making it in the best way that they can. It is how much love is displayed in the giving which counts. 🙏
Well God says faith without works is dead. He says to go out into all the world to teach the gospel. So if they do not do that, then they have missed the point.
I'm an atheist. However, I see how happy these women are and I'm happy for them even if I don't agree with their religious views.
Verina! Good to see that you think that way! Live and Let LIve, Love and Let Love!

Nuns in movies and tv: strict, stuck-up prudes with rulers as weapons
Nuns in real life:
When in Toledo (Spain) we went to visit the tomb of the painter Velazquez, which is guarded by nuns. We started to talk to the sister that was there, and when we say the Mother approaching, she was so serious that we thought she would shoo us away and tell the sister off because of talking to people. But she joined the conversation, and when she saw I was so interested in indian culture (the sister we were talking to was Indian, just like a big number of the convent's sisters), she told us that in Christmas the Indian sisters decided to play a game for the dinner and dressed her up in a saree, jewels and with a bindi for Christmas dinner. The sister was laughing when remembering it, and the love between the sister and the Mother was so visible and pure. Made me feel a little in love with the convent life
Except in Sister Act XD
When my mom was a child they were just like the movie ones. Good to see a change now
There's the sensational aspect of media, but also I think it depends on the era and the ''branch'' (I don't know how to call it, but there's different groups of christian nuns) the people join. Each covent seems to have different approaches, structures and the roles the take in the community would definitely influence the way they interact with each other/outside society. They have different sets of vows, rules and hierarchies, on top of what the current social climate is like. We often see historical depictions of religious people and ways of behaving changes through times even for religious groups :)
Evidently you didn't attend Catholic school.
I am not a religious person, but watching this gives me pure joy. I deeply respect what you are doing! A lot of people would probably see you entering a convent as giving up live...but I see, that enetring a convent for you is living life to the fullest. This is at least what i think about it, how i recive it :)
i only feel disgust
MarilynLoveYou Why?
challyy89 Why are you replying the fool?
Of all the Grotto videos that I have watched thus far, this is my absolute favorite! Just to see all the happiness and joy going on with these women. No they are not sacrificing anything but they are giving their love to Christ. :-)
Thank you for your supportive comment.
As a Roman Catholic I feel so blessed that nuns and monks exist. I feel as though you do all the spiritual heavy lifting for us regular people who have to deal with the world and many times need your prayers. My heart goes out to all of you.
Me too.

I’m a man and did this when I was 18. I joined a cloistered monastery and lived there under strict vows as a monk for 10 years. We also had a 24 hour vigil in our temple. Believe me guys, this girl has a strong heart.
You wasted a large chunk of your life, ouch 😂 Glad you wised up.

Same^^, also I'm kinda struggling to get up and go pray right now because I always procrastinate on the things I want to do, but then this video popped in my recommended and the girl is like I try to pull myself up out of bed at 1am to pray, and I'm like ugh OK fine I'll get up now 😆
I'm a christian and I find this repulsive.
Thank you ❤️
Aye, it truly is.
I was the sister of Notre Dame in Covington Kentucky in 1981 and I was 18 years old. I stayed for five years and during those times I made a great friendships and grew closer to God. It was a wonderful experience but at the same time I was definitely not called so I left at age 23. Now I’m 55 years old and I still have contacted some of the sisters who have left and we remember the good times the laughter the funny things that occurred in every day life and I am so grateful for that time even though it wasn’t meant to be. I wish you all the joy
No one cares, so gtfo.
Judith ferris - Thanks for sharing your story. It is nice that you are still in touch with the friends that you made when you were a nun. I am sure it was an important part of your life.
@@mdmohitulhaque8648 - Why the rudeness? Who hurt you?
Not all are meant to follow that path. Some of us find ourselves between the two worlds.

Yeah, it's true, we allí are called un different ways! God wants nuns with all his heart and He loves them so so much, but definetely he would not like everything woman to be in a convent
I’m 21 and I also want to give my whole life to Jesus.. I feel called to the carmelite vocation. I hope the Lord will lead me there, or wherever I’ll be most united to Him❤
I'm praying for you and your discernment. God will lead you where you need to be.
To all the people saying it's a waste of time...If becoming a nun is what you want to do and makes you happy then that's a good thing. Everyone is different and not everyone wants the same things in life. Most people who live a "normal" life and do "normal" stuff and have a "normal" career or job aren't too happy. And people who do the "normal" thing and date and get married end up getting cheated on and divorced and end miserable most times.
50% of the time. Not most of the time. You're making the average life seem very glum lol
agreed.
Michelle Paul that is a horrible way of looking at it
The aim of this film was to show how happy the nuns are. But I think some would be sad and wished they did not become a nun.
David#323 It obviously takes sacrifice and commitment to be a nun. And they can leave and break their vows if they choose to. They chose to be in that life, and actually MANY are happy being in it.
It took me 2 years of discernment before I finally decided to enter seminary. Somehow you feel a fire burning inside you, a desire to live a life for God and for God's people. You can only understand or feel it I guess, if you grew up in a fervent Catholic family. So that was in 2002. I was finally ordained a priest in 2013. And I haven't had a single moment of regret so far. Yes you give up your family, your hobbies, your life in a certain way, but as the Gospel says...you earn also a.hundred times more. I hope and pray that many young people will feel God's call.aand respond to it. May God bless young woman and her sisters. Their prayers keep the world going and the fire of love burning.
there is a level of peace in what she's doing.
That's because nothing's going on in their heads, they think it's easier to live in fantasy than face reality. It's suitable for the weak and pathetic, I guess.

Well, most nuns are closeted dykes so you have a lot more in common with them than you know!
Sister, if you feel the need to pray at 2 am, then the lord is calling you. I showed my mom this video as her aunt was a nun. My mom said how times have changed. She remembers having very strict sisters as teachers in her Catholic school years. She loved seeing you all laugh and having fun.
Bless you all.
Beverly thacker Its worth noting that the terrible nun teachers so many older people recall from their childhood 1. Were not that different from public school teachers in the earlier 20th century, when teachers were often very strict, and many schools employed forms of corporal punishment. I think it partlystands out for people because you expect a professional religious to be loving and gentle, so there is a contrast there. 2. Also, these people were sometimes not people who freely chose to be nuns OR teachers. A century ago and even less, it used to be that some Catholic parents with large families would "pick" certain kids to become priests or nuns (I know one woman whose father begged and pleaded with her for years, and was very upset that she utimately said no.) In addition, some orders of non-cloistered nuns would choose what needful job you were going to provide-- if teachers were needed, you would become a teacher, end of story. Nun and Teacher are two jobs that truly require a calling, and forcing people into them is bound to sometimes have very unhappy results!
@@melissasaint3283 You are so right. I know two friends who are teachers by vocation. Even if they hadn't trained for it they would still teach others what they know. They are the best teachers I've ever met. Yet I remember my elementary and highschool teachers (public school) from the sixties and seventies. My first grade teacher was downright cruel; parents ignored our complaints until she finally actually hurt someone where it was obvious. Others told us right in class they only did it for the money, it was a job. A lot of the women teachers were already menopausal, particularly in elementary school, and the mood swings could be terrifying for little kids--this was before it was really understood and helped.
Why does god need prayers at 2.00am though? Especially when so many people around the world actually need help not prayers.

It is mentioned in scripture and sisters of perpetual adoration always have shifts in the chapel for prayer. Some monastic orders have regular hours for prayers with some such as Cistercians starting in the middle of the night and pray the Hours at regular times throughout the day. Not all. Some have reduced it considerably. Others still do, though.
Beverly thacker I like your Mom she had the same percentage as mine- She remembered a couple of abusive nuns- so did U-. my mother said SiS Emelda- screamed at her because Gramps br. her to school early or she would have to walk 5 mills- she showed this to me when I was cold- I am now 60- your mom was right times have changed. Nuns in those days U think, wee very unhappy woman- bless you& your Mom!
I'm not religious nor will become a nun but I recently discovered that I have a calling to midwifery. In a different way, its like serving God- bringing light into this world. Either way, doing an act of service in whatever form that might be is truly magical. Good for her. 🥰
I want a family and children one day so I’d never be able to be a nun, but they look like they’re having fun and they seem happy :)
What's your point?
Madison Lynn yeah I can't understand why she can't see her family though that part is kindof sad to me
Anita Gomez She will be able to see them later. At this early stage of her training she is learning sacrifice. That is one. But one she wont forever have to give up. She is cloistered and only with other nuns unless in church or in charity. This changes as she progresses. She will have a chance at a college education and she will be given more freedoms (to a point) as she progresses.
Madison Lynn you can have children but you have to wait until theyre 18 before you become a nun
Madison Lynn I
Having grown up (and still remain) a faithful practicing Catholic, I remember the exodus from the religious orders in the 1960s and 70s, and watched the aging of those who remained. It is so great to see the recent increase in vocations and especially of young beautiful women being called to the traditional orders. It fills me with such hope for the future of the Church and the world.
Glenn Williams. Is it better if the nuns are, as you say, "young and beautiful"?
Beautiful post, Glen.👌
You're so right to point out how such young, beautiful women (who could go places in the world), chose the "better part" ( JESUS to Martha regarding Mary).
When younger, I couldn't get how handsome young men would choose the Priesthood and so too for those young successful women, in joining the Convent.
That's testimony to the Call from Above.

Everyone who is saying this is a waste of time and life is an embarrassment to every nonreligious/nonChristian person. Respect other people's beliefs please. This girl did nothing to you nor did she criticise you, so please do not look down on her to make yourselves seem better. Thank you.
Thanks for that. People are just too mean
So bloody true and thanks for this.
thank you
So true, some people can be so mean. I'm agnostic (still figuring out where I stand in the world etc) and would never disrespect someone's religion/belief/spirituality etc. I'm always open and happy to learn, and she and the sisters seem so happy and just want to spread love and joy. Isn't that all that counts?
i agree, but at the same time i cant blame some people for just associating religion with anger and hate. kinda like its hard to blame some black people for hating white people even though all white people dont hate them. like yes its deff not gonna help us make progress to being more accepting, but like calling them embarassments will just make them defensive also and isnt going to do much either.
We can all devote our lives entirely to Jesus - nuns or not! Bless these beautiful ladies 🙏🏾
The more you give yourself to Jesus, the more he gives back. He pours out his grace down upon his servant. Peace and happiness which money can't not buy.

You can not buy fathers love. It is there or it isn't. You already have his grace, you tell it like some stand closer to jesus than others, that is not correct and very egoistic
He didn't provide much grace nor help for my 7 year old cousin when her uncle was raping her. Guess she didn't pray hard enough.
Thank you for showing that our modern age Nuns are just "people" too with the same ability to laugh, express themselves & feel joy & sadness throughout their service to God...& NOT to be feared...

We can all have a slice of this joy by turning off the tv, spending our money on needs and not wants, being satisfied with simple things and getting into the Word of God daily and walking with the Lord Jesus in a relationship instead of a once a week or once a year event. God has always wanted us to obey His commands and love our neighbors as ourselves. If families put down electronic devices and spent time as family, that would help too!
I pray the Lord blesses you and uses you as a tool to lead people to Him. Blessings from Texas!
Amen!!!
I agree but isn’t it ironic that here we are communicating with these darned devices? 🥴
It looks like the sisters are able to express real joy now!. Saint Francis laughed. I'm not Catholic but I really connected to " The Little Flowers Of Saint Francis ". I was setting up a wedding once and met a young Priest. I asked him if he had read this book and was wondering why he said no
elderly poodle
It's never too late to convert.God bless
Perhaps you should have asked him why? Perhaps he may have told you why?
ForestGreenKingsfold OrganGeek ......There are many ways to seek the Glory of God. Catholic is one. I am Catholic but I have friends of many religions. We all crave a spiritual nourishing. God knows we all worship Him differently. Religion is a man made idea. You should be part of a religion that feels right to you. If Catholicism is not for you, then you were not meant to worship that way. Even God Himself says "I am called many names."...
Why did you wonder why he said no? There are many many saints and many many writings about and by saints. Not every preist has read every one of them. A lot of time Catholics will have a special saint they look to for inspiration. Sounds like you were inspired by st. Francis and the things he said and accomplished. That's the beauty of the saints, there's something for everyone.
Angie Brodland I hear you. I just assumed all priests have read everything on every saint. I realize now not everyone is drawn to the same thing. I thank you for asking me why I said that.
These are the type of people that restore my faith in humanity
These ladies are my friends! When I saw this video in the side bar i thought, "no way.." but wow, yes-way!
I think my sister is considering joining a convent. It’s a path I don’t know if I could ever truly take but I couldn’t be more proud of her, it brings me a LOT of joy to see her really finding her place in the world.
God truly gives a calling to his nuns. They know the sacrifice and most give in to the love they feel. There is a special place in Heaven for these devoted women. I admire them greatly.
I LOVE THIS! You can tell that her faith brings her genuine joy, and that she isn’t acting out of fear or shame or expectations. This is what religion should inspire; if your religion doesn’t bring you peace, healing, and joy then it’s time to go find one that does.
Couldn't have said it better myself :)
I wanted so much to be a nun when I was 29, but was rejected for whatever reason. I live a happy, single life now supporting self and giving charity to those who really need it.
Success means to live your life your life in order to have more and more money, at every cost
She’s living a life she loves surrounded by community and joy. I’m not religious but this is beautiful
Agreed 100%.
I think it's fascinating and beautiful, even if I don't have the capacity or desire to follow a religion ❤
Same here. I wish I had the calling but I didn't.
Thank you for serving our Lord, I hope for you the best
they serve only a sect of the worst kind and care only for themselves , religious people are selfish and uncaring
MarilynLoveYou most are quite the opposite.. what a terrible assumption
Almost everyone can serve the Lord. These Sisters just do it in a focused, more dedicated manner. We are all representatives of Christ if we stop and think about it...all spiritual brothers and sisters, daughters and sons of God. You can pray any time, anywhere not just in a church or chapel like my blood sister believes. God is everywhere-that"s what I believe.💚❤️💚

I’m not religious but this is so nice. She seems so happy.
When I first visited a convent at 16, I was enamored and wanted to spend all the time in the chapel. My peers were busy chasing boys. I wish there was a call for vocations at my parish at that time. My life would have been spent very differently. Please remember to reach out to the teens in your church, and encourage those who show a special love for Jesus.
0:59 right there I could feel with you. Christ is so beautiful... I can't go to a mass without tearing up. How can you not, when He is present with us. We may not see Him, but He is there. Bless your heart for showing your love for Him.
I've felt called to religious life for years now but sadly I am unable to complete RCIA due to agoraphobia and an anti-christian household. My hope is that when I die I might get a Christian funeral due to intent to conversion. St. Barbara pray for me 🙏
That's the weak mindedness that's harming your faith. Your allowing demons to take hold of you
Sister Fiat,
I first met you almost six years ago at that beautiful youth group, Agape. You were, and remain, a major factor in my faith-life. I remember when I first joined Antioch. You welcomed me into that wonderful community of which you had been a part for so long. As I help prepare for the upcoming Antioch retreat, I recall the joy I had from just being around (then Rachel) and I feel joy that you have now found your vocation as Sister Fiat. I remember the late nights at Antioch last year as I shared a sleep home with Caleb, the last of the Staley Dynasty of Antioch. Please know that your courage and the prayers of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration have greatly impacted me and the discernment of my own vocation. Sister Fiat, your commitment, your "fiat" to God is truly inspiring. May God grant you endless joy and peace in your vocation.
Prayers and love always.
P.S. I hope one day we might meet again. Maybe a serendipitous encounter on my way in/out of one of my visits to the Perpetual Adoration Chapel on the Hill.
God bless everyone who hear this or who are reading this.Have a great day and stay safe.May God protect you through these hard times.
I'm not Catholic but I really love the fact that they have the chapel of adoration for Jesus🤍👑 for 24/7 worship 🥰🙌
Awww this brought me back when watching the nuns in my catholic school and highschool, they were always so happy and when they did activities for the students they always did their best, even though many students didn't cooperate because they found religious related activities boring. I don't think I'd be able to become a nun, since ever since I was little I knew I wanted to have a husband and kids, but I'll always appreciate their kindness :)
Beautiful..I feel the same way..being married and raising children..that the Lord shows me his love and how to love through my family..it is also a holy calling
I admire you so much! I only wish I could do the same! Jesus deserves all of us!
You too can give your heart completely to Christ jsut as you are! He is not looking for man made righteousness or religiousness...just little ole you.
You can do it from the living room. modesty is inside of your mind and body, not a building. I recommend Paul epistles.
True hey
We can serve the lord in different ways too. He doesn’t call everybody to the same type of service just what he has gifted us to do. We are not all gifted with the same things. I worked in a store for many years. I considered it my mission to serve God in that place and I was blessed.
Amen! He sure does!
I'm personally not Catholic or even religious, but most of my mom's family is. 3 of my great aunts were nuns and another family member was also a nun. They joined right out of high school and lived their entire lives in their order, and were happy. One was a teacher in their school, and one was an RN in their hospital. They do have lives, but a large part is devoted to God. Sadly all have passed away. I know for sure that their order help out a lot in their local community. And in their order they are allowed to call family. This young woman seems very happy and strong in her choice, I wish her much luck and joy.
A short but sweet and interesting video. The best to you in your new life.
God bless you …..such a lovely joyful life you nuns lead,and all for the love of Christ…🙏
Seeing the joy in these ladies' faces warms my heart
Watching the sisters being so joyful, is beautiful. I love that they're so happy devoting themselves to their faith
I'm a Muslim....schooled my nuns at a young age. I absolutely loved watching this video. They are so wholesome and sweet. Very nice video.
Kelsey S. - there is a choice that we all must make. The Bible is littered with scriptures about not hardening our hearts. There are countless warnings about hell and the danger of unbelief. There is no way to God except through belief in Jesus.
Did you know that Heaven is a free gift from God? Billions of people go to bed every night wondering if they have been “good enough” to go to heaven. There is no need to live in fear and doubt. Jesus taught that you can “know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
There are many passages in the Bible that teach the truth about Heaven being a free gift from God because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, not by our own good works. One of the most clear and important passages is from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians:
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
Most people think that Heaven is a riddle which can never be solved. This is not true! The Bible is very clear about how you get to Heaven, and how it comes by faith in Jesus Christ, not by trusting in our own good works.
We are living in the dispensation of the grace of God, by believing and trusting the gospel of salvation (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) given to our Apostle Paul by Jesus Christ you are saved and sealed with the holy Spirit of promise till the day of redemption!!!
Ephesians 1:13 - King James Version
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Romans 2:16 - King James Version
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Paul's Gospel - 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4).
For solid Bible study, please visit ''Truth Time Radio'' - also on youtube - learn the truth and unlearn the lies!
Have a blessed day with insight, wisdom and discernment!
Nuns are the best teachers of small children. They changed my life
I am Protestant but appreciate many things about the Catholic faith. I love this woman's devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. I love what she said about Love having done a crazy thing in incarnating for us, in being crucified for us (and I would add, rising from the dead, ascending to the right hand of the Father, ruling and reigning forever, amen). What we do upon hearing of Jesus' salvific work is simply a response, not part of the deal of eternal life, which is one of the biggest differences between Protestantism and Catholicism in Christianity. Nevertheless, this woman's faith and devotion to the Lord inspires me to live a life of radical devotion and love for our Savior as well. A sweet video.
oh my goodness thank you youtube for this recommendation! my beloved second grade teacher sister lusetta was in this video. one of the best teachers i’ve ever had, it was amazing to see her smile and dance again!
Happiness without the Lord, is impossible, either going to a Convent, Marriage with or with out children, Single , Focusing a Mission...only with The Lord's Love in our hearts the whole world may fall apart and stand still...
🙏🙏🙏🙏
For this younge woman, beginning her adulthood, may God's blessings spread throughout her life as she had a call that she heard. God Bless all.
Nuns are amazing! They devote their life to God and helping people with very little in return.
What a bond of Sisterhood... It's wonderful that at that age she can make such a wonderful commitment. I just definitely couldn't handle being away from my family.
Praying for more vocations for nuns especially the nuns of Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament of Edgemont, a 106 y/o convent and only 4 nuns keeps the congregation alive.
Respect to all nun dedicated their life helping and serving Lord. I seen their works taking care of orphans 24/7 living to different part of the world with different culture is hard.
She has such a pure, and joyful heart
I wish all people could know God the way us Catholics do. I tell others there’s a difference in knowledge of God and being in love with Him. It’s so beautiful there are no earthly words to express how and what He is. God Bless
I love watching videos about people who devote themselves to Gods calling and purpose for them! Thank you for sharing this! I personally have been inspired and have found a sense of calling in the New Message from God - a spiritual teaching which asks us to listen within and follow the river of intention which represents the love of God... truly profound, beautiful and honest communication to a world that needs it so much.
Hi how have you been called?

It literally doesn't matter what you think. For her this is living life. Living life means doing the things you love the most and if she loves and she wants to do that, I don't see anything wrong with it, and neither should you. She is not doing any harm to others around her. That is what happiness and living life is. We can all learn something from her, it is literally never too early to live your life. You should never wait for the right moment to be happy, just do the things you love and that should bring you love and happiness for a lifetime.
wow, they are having so much fun, this looks so comfortable, i almost forgot thst this church made my life i living hell :))
It’s an honor to be given a peek into the life of a bride of Christ. Thank you for posting. Hopefully this will encourage others who have a calling to the “religious” life but are uncertain.

My school principal in infant school was a nun who ruled with an iron fist. Everyone was terrified of her but she commanded respect and demanded high standards from everyone.
That's because you were their students.

"love crucified himself for us out of love" ❤️❤️❤️ 2:16 to 2:39 are such beautiful words sister.. May God bless you... Praying for you ❤️❤️❤️
She is so gracious. God Bless her.
You can feel her joy! ❤️ This is just so beautiful to watch.
It’s the strong bond of sisterhood and the unifying mission of serving God and lifting each other up that makes me want to become one of them.
Beautiful! The joy of God it’s amazing! May God bless all of you whom give up the world to served him with love and fidelity🙏🏻
When my mom was around her 20s, there was a time one of her long time friends who had entered the convent a year before had finally been ordained. The friend invited my mom and her other friends in a spiritual retreat. Sort of introduction to the newly ordained + the annual recruitment. My mom and her friends joined the recruitment because of various reasons. Some felt trying, some felt like it was their calling (like my mom's), while one just doesn't want to be left out of the experience. Out of 7 friends, the one who just doesn't want to be left out was the only person who actually saw it through and became a nun. The calling to this path of life is really God guided. My mom always knew prayer and helping others was her vocation but being ordained wasn't her calling.
You can see the joy and peace emanating from her. Beautiful soul ❤️
Thank you for your abundance of love and prayers sisters. May the Lord always keep you. Viva Cristo Rey
I wish you the very best of luck on your journey sister. I admire you for following your path and putting everything you have into your commitment. Much respect.
How blessed to be young and already know what all our souls should strive for, which is eternal disposition of the soul.
I'm 23 now. Why was it on my recommendations?!
I was thinking about to join convent. But never searched for anything like this, I swear!
Is it a call?!!
I don't think it is. :) If you can fully love anyone even Jesus or whoever it's a good thing to experience.
No
Daisy Thomas perhaps. God speaks through many different things. Think and pray about it. Search for His call
Ginnybellebeauty ...No. Coincidence does not equal God speaking to you. His sheep know His voice. This is a decision that will affect the rest of your life which you will need to devote much prayer to. This is not a feeling. This is knowing...for certain, that Jesus is calling you into full time service to Him that will come at great cost to you. Pray Hard.
@Jett Philips I used to think this way, but look around you Jett - our men are weak, our women whores - its acceptable today to murder your own unborn child. This world is fallen, we are rotten and so long as you keep your attitude you will not walk closer to the Lord and his light.
I as well feel the same ever since I was a small girl❤...that beautiful call from the Divine❤ Lord to dedicate yourself to Him ..and then this video pops up❤😂....
My mom is at adoration right now. It's amazing how much she's changed for the better since she started going. I'm not religious. I do have spiritual connections to nature and life and the pain of others, and I consider myself a witch. But it's still nice to see people who know their life and know their love.
To give up one's worldly desires for the sake of answering a call from God, is the highest form of becoming relevant on earth in a different form. It's really cool to feel that while I am doing something here on earth, some sisters like her are praying for us including me. May the Lord bless them always!
Beautiful 🌹
*Saint Francis de Sales teaches us that God does not reward according to one’s state in life, but how the soul executes the office given him...
It is so blessed to be nun not everyone got the invitation of that God bless her family .
Joy happiness and total freedom, blessed
*This is success indeed*
Offering your youth to the Lord *JESUS* is much better than living in the street of Kensington northeast Philadelphia.
I'm grateful to those who spend their days in prayer. Our world needs prayer for us all especially after the state approval of late term abortions. May God have mercy on our country.
The way you live it- is the way its written and given...so it cannot be wrong. You are just a forerunner for Christ
It's not surprising that so many of the comments state these nuns are wasting their lives because they are an enclosed order and don't go out into the world to help others. I certainly don't know anything about this particular order but do those who are criticizing know anything about this order? Maybe they DO help the outside world by devoting their time in prayer, it certainly isn't my place to judge them. It doesn't always have to be about practical help or working in the community. What may be seen as a waste of time and their lives to some may be considered hugely beneficial to others. I guess those of us who've never felt drawn to a life of devotion can't comprehend what it is like.
I live in a town with these nuns (I personally know two in this video) and they aren’t cloistered. They actually work jobs throughout the town. They’re hospital workers and teachers among other things. They devote their lives in service to other people!

Look at it this way. Prayer can be offered up sincerely & to great effect in people's lives --- whether for their own or for others' --- even if one is old & feeble or completely bedridden. What, then, does this negative attitude say to such persons? That they are useless because they don't "get out & participate actively"? Everyone has their own contribution to make & everyone must be respected in the dignity of making it in the best way that they can. It is how much love is displayed in the giving which counts. 🙏
I’m not criticising you in anyway but just praying for someone doesn’t really physically help them. It just lets them know you’ll think about them.
Well God says faith without works is dead. He says to go out into all the world to teach the gospel. So if they do not do that, then they have missed the point.
@@jackr1689 phew..see my comment below...glad you wrote that.
Thank you for your devotion and service to God. God bless you.
This was beautiful and inspiring . A different view of something often seen in a very negative light .
Reshmi Kennedy Exactly !
