    I felt a lot was missing from this short movie, no talk of what convent she was drawn too and why, the nun acted like it was jail, once in she couldn't leave. In the "olden" days you were shamed and left in the dark, but not today. Women discern for years. I felt with med school looming, she was almost escaping to the convent. I would want her to talk to a spiritual director and really delve into is it a real call or something else. I wish she said she wanted to work as a doctor as a nun, that is one order near DC and I know a priest in training who went to med school. Just felt it was good but lacking

      Her parents were like many but they would come around. But did she visit convents, did she know one order? Why can't she use her gifts there, some are teachers, some nurses/doctors, some help pregnant women, some work with the poor. If she said she wrote orders, had it on her mind for years, but it seemed so sudden to her parents.

      I think it was a shock. If she mentioned going on a weekend retreat to one convent or writing them , maybe they'd understand more. Just being religious doesn't mean you are going into religious life and many do discern thinking they have a vocation and they don't. I know one couple who both went before they knew each other, to seminary and convent and left. No shame, it wasn't that, it was for them to marry.

    This film is quite idealistic. In reality, religious life is hard enough without having doubts that you gave up a lucrative and much-needed career. The nun, who I assume was a vocation director, should have suggested that the candidate wait a year or finish college before joining.

  • @gordondavies7150

    • @workinprogress-ye5or
      @workinprogress-ye5or 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      And why no talk of discernment, that she can change her mind after a year or two? It's not jail. I didn't like how the nun spoke like it was back in her day. Now the nuns stress it is discernment and you need to visit etc. She never even told her parents what kind of nun she was discerning to be.

    Beautiful film. God calls all of his children to do and become everything He has placed within their hearts, whether ecclesiastical, or otherwise. It is the unregenerate heart that is 'desperately wicked', NOT the regenerated heart, which is pure, and yes, even holy, in the Father's (and Son's) eyes. It's the sincere intention, and noble motive, to do, and to BE, God's Will, that is the determining, and fully justifying, factor.

    Man the horror movie and macabre things is a hard one. I had traumatic night terrors when I was a kid. If you don't know what that is look it up. Even as an adult I have trouble sleeping partly because of them. Watching horror movies before bed were the only thing that made them stop. I have no idea why but because of that scarry stuff is comforting and dear to me. I don't surround myself with black cats and fake Halloween corpses but I do like skulls and skeletons. I have a skeleton I named Slim Pickens. Mr Pickens is my Co pilot every October. Sure I could get rid of that kind of stuff but it'll be hard. Very hard.
