I feel like God is calling me to be a nun… or a sister. And I feel guilty for not wanting it. I feel lost and forced as if all my blessings will be there. And I am ashamed of wanting marriage, motherhood, anything other than a religious life as if everything else is beneath me and of the flesh and world. To want something other than this vocational life is a ticket to suffering on this planet and Hell after. That I don’t love and trust Jesus enough to let Him rule me to be a sister and nun for Him. Makes want that lifestyle but conflicting to the point I shame everything else, my desires, all other things that I want to glorify Him in….
God wants you to be happy and truly yourself. Stay close to God, find good spiritual support and let go of the shame and guilt. Finding your true vocation is also about finding peace. God bless you on your journey.
I feel the same now I have most what a girl whants apart from being 42 years old having a minor learning disability and stuck living with there parents brought up old school, and then I was not ready to give everything up to live like everyone else, now I feel like I regret that for good reasons one I love being alone I have the introvert personality, but going to be a nun meaning ill have to give all my money and everything I own up im not ready to do that its not nothing against god, I do love him, I made many mistakes in life, but I wish I could marry god live on my own withought giving anything up but still being faithfull to my god my husband if I could do that and marry him, I mean withought wearing any habbit or joing any order or group but being oneself on your own and being married to god at the same time I wonder if thats possiable ot am I asking for to much in life? I maybe a sinner like everyone else but no matter my mistakes and sins I do love god and I would do anything for him, because I have had bfs in the past and nothing felt right especially when I was dating guys when I was 21 year old nothing felt right long story but lets just say I throught of diffrent reasons, but really nothing makes me feel better when I am around god like praying going to church being kind, like when I listen to hymns and the gregorian chant its like yes I am meant to be his wife gf what ever you whant to call it but I can not just give things up and leave my mum behind yet, maybe im not ready yet or will ever be, or maybe if I could if you could answer my question I wrote earlier in this feed.
I’m 13 and for some reason I had a thought of being a nun however I don’t really want to have to cut my hair short and not being able to go out and stuff I just really would like some tips plz because I feel like the lord is wanting me to consider being a nun.
Hi Zoey, our congregation wears common dress and you can cut your hair any way you like, even leave it long! Just stay open to God. God calls each of us to a life that is life-giving for us. Keep learning about religious sisters and keep praying. We will pray for you also.
I'm also 13 and for some reason have a desire to become a nun. I don't think I can because in all honesty I don't have all my faith in god. I'm not that religous....
Since I was a little girl I had said I wanted to be nun Because my cousin was one and when I became a teenager So recently a few years ago I was like I don't know if I want that anymore but I can't Help but keep thinking if that's what I wanted when I was a little kid.Was that my calling Or even what is a calling?I mean i'm considering it But also I want a family. I want to be a mother. I keep praying and asking god if his purpose for me in the world is to be A nun or a mother I truly have no idea
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?”
No Roman Catholic believes that the God-Bearer is God. She is "Blessed Among Women" as she "Bore the Savior of Our Souls". And as Christ said of her Himself, "Blessed are they that hear the Word of God and Keep it.
@SistersofprovidenceOrg I am coming to the Salvation Army in a little bit while I think, another degree is just a piece of paper that holds no value. I need a job to make sufficient money to start my own buisness. Fixing jewlery, is much like fixing people, and fixing families...tinkering is to be done.
Hi Shilpa, thanks for asking. This page tells about the process after you enter our congregation: spsmw.org/join-us/become-a-sister/stages-of-formation/ Before that a person will discern their call. More about that is here: spsmw.org/join-us/become-a-sister/discerning-your-call/
Becoming obedient to God for the rest of your life if that sounds your calling. I can only imagine that only a few out of so many probably end up becoming mother superior I guess. Do hard🙂🤔🙂🙂
I received my calling four decades ago, but I was turned away. They insisted that I shave my beard; wouldn't budge an inch. Also, I've just never been an early riser. What we need is an order of "Evening Shift Sisters". We could get up about 10am, work till midnight, and then spend a couple of hours praying in a Holy Tavern!
Our sisters are an apostolic congregation who wear the dress of the common people. Common 20-somethings sometimes wear earrings, as does Sister Tracey :)
@@SistersofprovidenceOrg I think your outward dress leaves an impression upon those who see you. Therefore I find it difficult to consider your holy vocation when you dress as "common people". Nuns, I thought, were supposed to be absent from the world, and take on the solemnity of Christ like living. I guess I was wrong. :{
@@bcsurvivor4713 but they aren't nuns. They're sisters. A nun is a woman religious who is contemplative (stays inside and prays) or is the females equivalent of a friar, with an active apostolate. Religious sisters are technically oblates who take the vow of chastity, and are therefore not obligated to take the habit customary to Second Orders.
@@bcsurvivor4713 tbh thats how i felt too when trying to look for an order....i felt (and still do ) that "if you need help you seek a police officer...how do you identify him? his uniform. If you need spiritual help, how can you find a sister if she's not wearing a habit?"......the habit shows who u represent....and i found the Sisters of the Visitation who i will hopefully enter....who wear the full habit)....i wa just so spiritually turned off by no habits and felt kinda harassed when a sister (not from this video's sisters) kept pushing..trying to convince me saying that the habit isnt important....i will be His bride and i intend to dress as such....
I think it is sad sisters are more and more not wearing more conservative clothes. My loval place where the motherhouse is Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ. There aren't any young ones at this location, but just look like regular Grandma's. Never would fuess they are sisters. Only a few ehere the brown skirt vest, skirt, veil, etc. A sister/nun without their veil, especially with the Eucharist is heartbreaking. I say this as a convert who has been veiling since i was 9 when it was 100% not supported by any church except Mennonite when i was a teen.
Good question! Not necessarily, but it could be God nudging you to explore religious life. Some of our sisters' journeys have started with a sudden thought or inclination that they should become a sister. Praying for you on your journey!

@@SistersofprovidenceOrg loving Jesuits is not the problem. Relying on them for accuracy about Doctrines of the Catholic Church can be iffy. I say iffy because I do know two Jesuits whose speaking writing and homilies I would recommend to anyone. Unfortunately I know others whom I would characterize as possibly heretics. And there is a history among them in the last 55 years of denying lots of writings, one I lived through was Humane Vitae. Some of Pope St. Paul VI first detractors and villifiers were Jesuits. And all of Pope Paul's statements about what effect abortion and birth control would have on society have proven accurate.

Perhaps God is calling to a life in faith outside of the sisterhood- there are many ways to serve God
