The preference for male narrators is long standing in the industry, and this show, in particular, could have used an "authoritative" female narrator voice to really complete the circle.

    Nuns never lose the desire for children, marriage, or sex!
    To do so would be very unhealthy. It's not normal to not have those urges to some degree and extent.
    But what nuns do is they learn to re-direct those wonderful life-creating energies into other areas, such as prayer. Or physical exercise. Prayer while working, meditation, silent contemplation... and this is exactly how a regular person can also be chaste even in the midst of totally normal healthy creative urges ~ the ones that God gave to us!
    To live chaste in this world, or withdrawn into a convent/monastery, this is an invitation from God. Not a command or an order. One can politely decline, no thanks! This is an invitation, a calling, not a thing forced on a woman. And chastity, this is not a forced removal or denial of one's healthy sexual urges, or desire for husband and children.
    What the World fails to understand is: sacrifice.
    We live in a Society that demands immediate gratification.
    But Christ told us that He would return to us 100 times, anything that we sacrifice for him.
    And so in the next life, in the "New Heavens and New Earth" that will be untouched by decay and death, illness or even anger, any sacrifice in this life given for Him will be reaped 100-fold by each individual.
    So we are not losing out when we do not engage in this or that in this present life. We are just delaying gratification until the next life.

    I think that noone should be forced on a spiritual path. One 's own nature must prevail. And, it is the duty of the people who have renunced the world to serve the world, not to force the world into their path. I hope that the sisters have understood that the women who came to the convent where like spiritual babies and that they have in fact come to help the nuns develop the attitude off universal motherhood that the whole world desperatly needs in order to be at peace. A religious institution should never remain close to the world, but on the contrary, be always open to embrace the world with unconditional love, like a mother with her children.

      As Christians we are all part of the Body of Christ, we have different vocations, a primary one of theirs is to sacrifice their time to pray, of which it's mostly praying for others, Christians and Non-Christian alike. Everyone may not understand their way of life, but trust me, praying for someone without love for them is near impossible.

    What a cringy watch this whole thing was and I doubt the BBC would get away with doing it again nowadays. Enter 4 entitled women, old enough to know better and with a determination to rebel against all that a convent stands for. One in particular is odious, and I'm not going to point to her.... it's evident enough. Why would you agree to do this if you were a mature grown up? You have to be attention seeking and entirely immature, if you can't stick to rules and a disciplined life for a few weeks. It was actually really embarrassing. The nuns were completely amazing, full of worldly wisdom and sage Christian knowledge and giving advice, teaching and love in equal measure, but couldn't measure up to what these women really need. First gain mental health and then approach learning about the Christian faith, don't take your disruption, malcontent, impertinence and infantile behaviour to make a whole community uncomfortable. Escaping the convent like two eleven year olds bunking off school? Give me a break. I don't believe that anything gained in these few weeks will have stuck. In the main, I bet resolutions and opennness to change were flying out of the car windows even as these women returned home.

    Society generally has changed, religion is failing so many in England, so many churches are nearly empty, the only religious people who seem to visit are Jehovah’s Witnesses, and they are not particularly successful. There is still so much poverty in the country, lack of good education, poor control, religious lessons are not recognisable as the sort we experienced, in State schools more focused on any religion . Society has changed evolved into something the order would not particularly recognise, it is a commercial society - money and possession led, there are many charity’s which are run by people with their donations, which help some considerably sometimes which should be done by the state. Rebelliousness is a norm not just teenage problems. I am talking about the reality not anti Catholic that is a very personal decision, but Christian religions as a whole. The only good thing that came out of the Covid Virus was it showed people could be kind to one another and many helped each other so it does still exist.

      it doesn't. Every person has a calling; some may be called to be parents, singers, carpenters, teachers. Being wealthy is not a sin, but the love of money is a sin. To whatever life one is called to, God can be glorified. Abstain from sin, turn away from sin. That is the call of Christ. To love God and others, involves caring for others selflessly, focusing on doing good for others.

    Oh God! Now I've seen everything. Yet another FAKE REALITY show, this time in a CONVENT! I've worked on these type shows. Please understand that these shows are all put-ons. These are not "informative studies," they are just a "cheap and easy" form of loose entertainment. The director prompts them about what to do and say, and how to react emotionally and then they ad-lib it. The girls are chosen from 500 volunteers because they are emotionally malleable, so they can improvise laughter, tears, anger etc. And please don't believe for one minute that the participants are somehow "transformed" in the end ...that's yet another piece of the put-on. It's FAKE, people...Its all FAKE!

      I was one of the participants in the programme and I can categorically disagree with your comment. Whilst I can respect your right to an opinion, you are wrong. We were NOT coached, coerced or persuaded or instructed what to say. We lived exactly as the nuns and in fact we weren’t filmed all day everyday. Laughter, tears and emotions were REAL and the transformation was not the goal. The programme was commissioned to investigate Wether or not monastic life and values had any bearing on the lives of modern day women. We weren’t all going to be transformed into saints ! Personally for me, it cost me marriage and I found life a real struggle for 3 years afterwards. I’ve come out on the other side of it, but it’s coming through my challenges that have transformed me. Thank you.

      ​@@deborahhelenphotography1870how great to hear directly from you! I always wondered how you all are doing now and what your lives look like. Do you still keep in touch with the other women?

      Wow! I am glad to see that you have done this response and to know what happened a bit in your life afterwards.
      I wish they did a follow up with you all like they did for the Monastery series.
      Hope you are doing well.

    Get out of them my People, don't touch the unclean. Catholic institution is pagan, nowhere in the bible the nunnery idea is mentioned. The ladies are looking for truth, God loves sinners and Jesus brings salvation,. One needs to be born again to get from the kingdom of darkness to the Lord's kingdom. all in the spirit,Bless the truth seekers
