That's so neat! I'm learning about different practices for my education and I love the joy that these women have. I don't know if I'd be able to commit to a whole lifetime in monastery, but it definitely seems like it would be so restorative, even if just for a week.
Everything is significant. There is no one and no thing without significance. Life is like language: many words, all needed, all with a meaning. Many words, not just one.
Going on retreats in the monastery is something i try to do. Its lovely joining them for prayers as early as 2:45am (the monastery i visit, here in nigeria). Once my retreat is over after three days, i am always refreshed both physically and spiritually. It keeps one away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, and you a literally enveloped in the closed palms of God. The air is still, the trees are calm, and life seems to just stop, removing all worries of that crazy traffic, noisy nebour, dogs barking etc. I may retire as a monk...when all my kids are grown and independent
Thank you, dear SISTERS. Ich bewundere Ihren Lebensweg, ihn würden so gerne einige Menschen befolgen. Jedoch ist er denen nicht genau bekannt. Danke für Ihr Video. Klar , rein und unaufgeregt.
They started with 16 in 1964 and in 2021 still only have 16. Virtually all Catholic religious orders are only half the size they were before Vatican 2.
I think it's terrific that they get up at 3:30 in the morning. You have more energy in the morning. And in bed at eight is a good idea. I surewish that their hair would not show. It's so much more beautiful when all the hair is covered. And it is one less thing to worry about. And having religious names is so much better than your Baptism name because they are not always appropriate.
"We were asked to interpret our monastic life in terms of the 21st century." That is most unfortunate. It is a recipe for disaster and self-destruction for a religious community of contemplatives, since the 21st century has no interest in prayer or contemplative union with the Lord. It is best to "interpret" the monastic calling according to its own principles and the changeless principles of the holy Gospel.
Family's Got Talent Lots of things I've read in my spiritual reading and witnessed personally show that interest in contemplative prayer has been very much on the increase since about the 1960s. It's something that many Christians of different denominations and many people outside the church are finding themselves wanting to learn more about and go deeper in - as if this is something the Holy Spirit is doing in our time.
The words freedom and interpretation seem synonymous with doing your own thing which was a hallmark of the 60's. It's not tied in with obedience which was fundamenral to the Cistercians. Nowadays it's a dying order with few vocations and a modernist, secular outlook. The experiments didn't work.
The 21st century is not a single culture, attitude or set of interests. The 21st century is what we each of us make it. These contemplative orders are about turning inward and be ye not conformed to the world, by the Gospel and the Holy Rule of their founder. If they are doing those things in the 21st century, then they are part of it.
Very common misconception! Monastery can be used to describe housing to any form of monastic life. Cloistered nuns still live in a monastery, the word convent is typically for religious sisters who have an active apostolate and are not cloistered
First prayers at 3:30 a.m?!😧 How does that show balance? Do the men do that too? It's admirable Sister but I don't think I'd last the four hours. Hopefully you get some really patient girls to join up.
You need to go back and listen carefully. Monastic life is about work and prayer. Compline is prayed here at 715 pm. Then they retire for the night. They sleep.
@@Andy-sx5pm Thanks for reply! Ok, I don't negate such behavior and that what Jesus did. Being a nun is surely a good picture of modesty and so on, but this kind of service is molded by religion, and tradition of men, it requires obedience, doing many rituals that are not found in the Bible. God bless:)
I give the Pope's my sympathies. They have no idea. I am concerned enough to give warning. I'm 73 myself and a theologian historian. Ancient Rome had vestal virgins who kept the flame of Rome alive forever. It was believed that if they lost their virginity or the flame went unattended and went out, Rome would be conquered and die. They would be killed if either happened. Along comes a new religion into the Republic with a Virgin. Persecutions stopped a lot because there was a forever Virgin connected to a God involved. Suddenly, a Mother Mary craze hit the early church that did not affect the other regions at that ancient time that Christianity was born. Over time it became Mother Mary-anity and now it's nothing like it was preached in Rome by Peter. Mary began to replace Jesus as the ultimate moral law pronouncer holiness giver. There is a way that seems right onto a man. The Church has elevated Mary as the true Oracle of Almighty God, I N S T E A D, of Jesus. Here are some examples: Church; - Mother Mary is God's mother therefore she speaks for Him. So, since she is a mother, she can correct her son. Mary says, (in your imagination) that God and his angels REJOICE IN HEAVEN WHEN A BABY IS BORN AND DELIVERED FROM AN ABORTION, AND GOD SAYS HE WANTS IT BORN AND IS HAPPY TO SEE IT ARRIVE ON EARTH. JESUS; - SAYS: REJOICE N O T When a soul enters the world but rather woe and mourn, for it's time of test is upon it and if it fails it will burn in hell forever. And mourn N O T when a soul dies, but rather REJOICE, because it's time of being tested has gone and it will no longer be in danger of eternal damnation. Now, which is right???? God says NO abortions because it makes Him unhappy, or, God says abort the soul before Satan has a chance to snatch it away from Me???? WARNING!!!!!!!! YOU'RE BEING TESTED HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't get this right at the Pearly Gates you'll burn in hell forever. Who is right??????? If God is an immutable ever unchanging GOD, then why would he change Jesus' words that life and B I R T H MAKES HIM HAPPY AND REJOICEFUL?????? Somebody has to right. All I am saying is what Jesus told his disciples to teach. When did He tell Mother Mary something different????? Now, who is right?? Mary or Jesus???? Your eternity depends on getting this question right? Secret hint; "Is Mary God in Heaven?”

A beautiful life! Lovely music and singing praise!
My sisters, please pray for us, pray for vocations.

It would take at least a week for your body to get used to the new timetable and for your mind to get used to the new routine.
Makes being a doctor or lawyer feel so insignificant. God bless you

Beautiful presentation. Thank you, Sisters.
I always wanted to be a nun. It breaks 💔 my heart that I couldn't. Maybe God will give me another life.
Beautiful video, very Christian inspiring. Thanks for posting it.
Magnifico
Amen
Bless me most respected most hon sisters pls pray for me
The best way to live. And the best way to serve. :)
Beautiful ❤️ God bless you all.
May The GOD Almighty Bless & Strengthen You people in JESUS CHRIST name Amen
Such a beautiful life. Do you say the Rosary every day together?
A way of life. Obviously. A calling.
Beautiful video!!!

I would like to join you! Are women from abroad accepted in your congregation?
All that matters is Jesus 🙏❤️
I could never live this kind of life.
They started with 16 in 1964 and in 2021 still only have 16. Virtually all Catholic religious orders are only half the size they were before Vatican 2.
What is the title of the song in the beginning of the video?
''Be Thou My Vision.''
Love this video thank you!

Huh? You are severally brainwashed! You sound like you live in a cult!!!
@@jcwhite1337 Going to bed early and waking up early is living in a cult. Gotcha.
No--- jackass. Changing your name - I was baptized in a Church! What the hell is beautiful about having your hair covered? Go back to Waco! Lol
There’s a lot of prayer and urgency to pray. What in the world do you communicate about? My closest people- I encounter times where we are talked out.
Vatican II has been devastating to many religious communities, as well as the whole Church.
do you ladies have any time for. recreation?
Come on, this place is paradise! Beautiful!

Do they ever eat? What about recreation?
How are the nuns coping while the coronavirus is going on.
"GOD IS GOOD"😍
My mom said that if I don’t do good in school she will send me to a monestery
She can't do that. It's an adult vocation. A calling from God not a punishment
When do u eat
Angel food cake
Oh I thought u said what haaha
Sem dúvidas uma das casas de Deus rezem por mim
Where's the "monestry"? All one sees is a convent with nuns. Monasteries have monks and brothers...

My order awake at 2 am for first prayer! You get used to it, it’s very peaceful!

They go to bed at 8.
But they are in bed by 8 pm so that's 7.5 hours of sleep.

Pray for us
Where is this abbey
Why they changed their habits ???
At least they didn’t abandon them as some orders did
How sad that they only have the Novus Ordo Mass. The Traditional Latin Mass is so much richer in every way.
Where did the idea come from? Can you find a nun in the Bible?

Not everything is found in the Bible.
Trappistines
It's s Convent when it has Women!!
The term monastery has to do with the fact they are independent from other communities. The label does not matter. They are still sisters.
It is called a monastery for monks as well as for cloistered nuns.

In some cultures men’s houses are called convents

Another dreary claustrophobic Protestant. Go away.
Why do nuns say monastery instead of nunnery or convent?. Monastery is for men.( monks)

Are you allowed to cry? Be emotional?

Please come back to the original rule & habits!!!
Quelle Horreur !
