What was the name of the Consacrated Virgin you were reading about?
Hi, Julian of Norwich is a favourite of mine. 😀
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Beautifully played
Well done Caroline
I have been discerning for over a year if I should be a cloistered nun or a consecrated laywoman. Tomorrow I’ll have my second video call with the Abbess of a Benedictine Convent. It’s been such a long and intense journey for me. I trust Jesus will lead me all the way…
Hello, thank you for sharing your message. Prayers for your call tomorrow with the Abbess. Yes, keep trusting and remain open to the Lord’s voice. He will lead. 🙏😀x
Through deep prayer all superficial aspects are wiped away and you are atuned to go deep within oneself to seek the true self and one's closeness to God
Hi Caroline, thank you for sharing your journey & faith. I’m starting my journey to the third order O.D.C😇 praying for you 🙏🏻
Thank you Caroline great video I do my 1 vow of promise in order of the mustard seed it is a new monastic Community it is on Launde Abbey on 9 November from lizzie
I have observed that people who have an authentic vocation have left the monastery usually had one thing in common: they do not have humility. Pride is the major factor in people who are unable to persevere in religious life: it can be that they are set in their own ways or they are unable to forgive slights caused by other sisters. That is why entering religious life, especially the monastic life, is a prolonged "white" martyrdom. Only the mentally strong and spiritually strong in faith can enter this kind of life. St.Teresa enlightened me that you need to see yourself as a servant of ALL and look at each sister as Our Lord Jesus.
This is the complete opposite to my situation. I'm now inside a Discalced Carmelite Monastery doing my third search in. I think I found *my* Carmel now. I've always known that my vocation is to be a Carmelite for 11 years. But my struggle is that I am really missing my old life, the freedom of being able to choose the most trivial things in the outside world such as how you want to spend your time or the food that you want to eat. The great disadvantage of being in the secular world is the total lack of discipline by people, the noise all around, both literally and figuratively speaking and the abundance of temptations. You really give up everything in the cloister. It's not a life for everyone. So it's not surprising that only very few persevere.
So black is not just evil.
Ive seen the white lights falling from my ceiling..But ive seen black ones like a ball of yarn or wires above us while we sleep should i be worried about the black ones ?
I’m 16 and curious about it. Can you do a in depth like what they do?
I was talking b to a woman who had also left her order. She told me that the food was awful for her. So bland that she just ate i t vfor substinance and got no pleasure from it at all. But she said that they did have a number of community pets and that one little dog had adopted her -- sort of like a big sister
I realize this is an older video but thought I'd reach out. I'm currently discerning tertiary Secular Carmelite Order. I've been drawn to monastic life for as long as I can remember but I am happily married. Currently looking into living the Carmelite Rule as a layman before contacting the local Secular Carmelite Order. I did this previously with the Benedictine Rule as I was discerning Benedictine Oblation. Would you have any advice on that?
Holy Spirit is coming to the world to clean it and give every men their wifes. Dont be surprised but i m jesus wife. You have a great calling. Good job.
Hi Caroline 💝 thanks for sharing! I have a question, can a consacrated virgin keep the blessed sacraments at home and build up a little altar? 💝
Wonderful message and video !!!! I needed to hear this!! God bless you!! Happy Sunday!! 💕🌅🙏🏻
I listen to your witness and i am taken back to the moment when I knew that for me, it was Carmel or nothing. There is no way of describing that lightning bolt moment, except to say that the soul knows. Thank you for sharing your story with us. The world needs witnesses to this call, to this vocation. God bless you!
I know I'm a bit late to this video, but I just wanted to thank you so much for your witness. God bless you!
Hi Caroline, thanks for sharing this! I was wondering if you are still discerning this vocation (I’ve subbed to your channel but haven’t seen the rest of your videos) and what is the process? I think God is drawing me into this vocation but I found there isn’t a lot of resources out there. I also live in the Diocese of East Anglia (down south) so I was incredibly grateful to stumble upon your TH-cam channel. ❤
If I were to spend my entire life in a tiny cell I think I would go stir crazy. I would probably start to hallucinate.
I’m curious, how can you be so sure of Gods will for you ,you said “ he said to me very clearly “ , how did you come to this conclusion as of course we actually can’t hear his voice talking to us
Hi, thank you so much for your comment. I do hear the Lord’s voice in very deep prayer sessions, and that time before I left the convent was one of them. It doesn’t happen all day every day, but having been in an incredibly peaceful and prayerful environment for five months, I was able to really go to my deepest centre with God - and there you can hear him. It was a just a few simple words and that’s all I needed, along with a beautiful feeling of peace which stayed, and the discernment of the community as well. 🙏C
If you’d like to know more, do read or look up the different levels of prayer and you’ll find that many many people hear the Lord’s voice within. C
Most Beautiful Lady i have ever seen
The most beautiful soul i have ever seen
Hope all goes well with it.
Amen
Beautiful, we need to remember what matters.
Thank you so much for watching. 🙏😀
I didn’t know Christian’s likes to do the devil horns!
Hi. I am also discerning between becoming a nun or a cv. Will I only be sure about my vocation if Ill become a postulant in a monastery?
Hi, thank you for your message. Being sure about your vocation isn’t totally dependent on being a postulant. I was very called to monastic life, so I think you have to go first where you’re most drawn and the Lord will show the way. 🙏
black holds All colours , may be we just think of black as negative ( could be from the religious point of view, darkness evil; etc. )
Tell us more about your experineces
Hi, thank you for watching. If you go on my main channel, there’s loads on there about my time in the Carmelite Convent. 😀✝️🙏
Your witness speaks to me and am thankful for you.
Hi, thank you so much for watching. I’m so pleased you enjoyed the video. More coming soon! 😀C
I was walking up the stairs today and saw a centimetre sized orb as bright as the sun on the left side of my peripheral vision. I felt like an intense static energy. I also see a lot of synchronicities all the time like repeating numbers
🙏❤️
What Carmelites are you or your friend?
I am so happy to have discovered this video. I've been seeing orbs and other things for a long time. The church had me convinced that this was something demonic, but I knew better. I love and praise God, so there was no way I could see Him exposing me to something to separate me from His love. Thanks for sharing.
I am an intercessor. What is the difference between intercessors and carmelites? I've never heard of this.
What Carmelite order are you in?
Apparently you left Carmel at some point. What happened?
It's so interesting hearing about your time in Carmel and transition back into the world. I suppose you have been given this incredible gift, of learning how to bring solitude into your life, and that will never leave you. So glad you decided to share it with others. The world really needs it. Good luck.
Hello. Thank you so much for your kind message and for watching my video. I’ll be posting more about the convent soon. ✝️🙏C
I wonder whether the option of being a consecrated virgin in the Church in the world is distinguished from a woman who is asexual. ... and maybe that's not a bad thing.
I love this so much! I was in a Poor Clare community for three years and although it’s been more than a decade since I left I still miss it so much. Even though it was my decision to leave I still feel like I haven’t moved on sometimes.
I also missed the first Carmel where I did my aspirancy, 11 years ago. So I returned to my discernment and now I think I finally found my Carmel in another place far from home after 3 attempts 😂
I would love to hear Carolyn but the sound is not very clear and at a low decibel
