My daughter is a nun with The Servants of the Lord & the Virgin Matara & currently serves her order in Iceland. She will be taking & celebrating her final vows next year 2021( her 8th year of formation)! She thoroughly enjoys her religious life & is continually challenged & fulfilled. She is now teaching a catechism class of 8-12 year olds weekly, is in charge of the kitchen by planning & overseeing all the meals & is taking classes to learn Icelandic. She is not cloistered but her order has several male & female monasteries in Italy that are cloistered. Their order's website for United States is ssvmusa.org
“We pray for every person on the face of the earth” for everything they have need of (financial, mental, physical, jobs, etc). Love thy neighbor living. It is a selfless thing they do because they love God AND NEIGHBOR...they live and sacrifice. It is wonderful. Let us pray for them, too.
My family have had a close friendship with the Carmelite nuns for 70 years We could never repay their love and prayers over those decades May God and the Blessed Mother of Carmel richly bless them !
Thank God for these women, willing to retreat into the mountain, as Jesus did, for prayer. And just to think, they have dedicated their whole lives to this great service! How precious such people are to the kingdom of God! They are praying for all of us - for you, for me, for everyone. Even though most of us don't pray for them, they pray for us. What greater work could anyone ever do than go 'into the closet,' as Jesus recommended, and pray to the Heavenly Father?
I thank you Heavenly Father for your workers that you sent from heaven maybe learn the love that you have for us will always be in our hearts these women will always have joy in her heart cuz they have our lord Jesus I love you my Lord my mother Mary and Saint Joseph thank you for these women that have hearts from heaven but we all learn from that thank you for this love in life that you've given this amen
PART OF MY CONVERSION STORY (March 4, 22): THE ROSARY AND MERACLES I HAD, etc: Thank GOD for our LADY OF GUADALUPE; when I visited her Shrine in Mexico in Dec. 2012. And I was suffering at the time of "Sleep Apenea" I was healed really while still there - FRARNKLY, my first intensions were to honor her. †Also, when I prayed a few Rosaries to help me to quit cigaretes on May 17, 1998, she answered my prayers immediately, though I was SUPER skeptical at that time. †Truely, when I was inspired to recite one single Rosary in December 12, 2000, I was healed from my unbelief (Jn. 14: 1) - and I tried at the time first to pray OUR FATHER, but I couldn't remember the prayer... And I used to attend few different Evangelical Churches for a few years in Stockholm searching for Truth, etc. †For now I have recently been diagnosed of "THYROID" DESEASE which made my life upside down. I'll continue praying & trusting really! †Since my conversion, I try NOT to miss attending Masses weekly or daily etc. And I pray the Devine Mercy Chaplet daily at 3:00pm. And I NEVER missed. †UNDOUBTLY, Reading & meditating on "Gospel of life" according to daily readings is like my "daily bread"! Also, I like to what some one says: that after every winter comes spring. But "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God"(Psalm14:1) Thank God for the ROSARY prayer, etc 🙏! ††By Saba Korial MIC, & I was born in Middle East, now Christian Catholic & Canadian. 2 Tm 2: 4 & 4: 7
Every prayer is always answered. Those not answered is for the good of us. Our Heavenly father knows what's best for us. They are living a wonderful life and I believe they are in very close communion with the Lord. But this is not a calling for everybody. There is something very pure and wonderful when one sits in silence. Pray they be blessed abundantly.
What wonderful women, to give up their whole lives to pray for us! I admire anyone who can live this type of quiet, dedicated life. I hope lots of young women join them. What a wonderful testimony to the reality of God.
I admire thier decision to serve God this way. No doubt they are praying without ceasing and God honors this. I love how the nun said God's NO is also an answer because he knows best. I'm not Catholic but I totally respect these women of God.
My schooling and some of my working years were with Catholic nuns. In general, they are just like people outside in terms of temperament. Within their own community, there's some bickering, gossiping, showing off, griping, holding grudges, etc, going on. 😁 Admittedly, the contemplatives have less chance to do so.
thank you God Bless You beloved Sisters that you pray for every soul on earth ! If only the world knew how important souls are who sacrifice themselves for others and pray for them.
Contemplative life is 'the better part' - a call from God to sit at the feet of Jesus, praise without ceasing with the Holy Angels, a witness to Heaven where there will be no marriage, etc. They live, breathe, sing Scripture. Many intentional communities come and go but also some over 100yrs old. Carmel has many saints. A holy way of life. Prayer purifies the Body of Christ.
Thank you for sharing this it's so uplifting for my Catholic faith beautiful to see the love and faithfulness to our Lord and holy Church.what a beautiful life.all for the glory of God.
Well, you would have to say, who was actually the interviewee and who was the interviewer? Who seemed happier? Who seemed more in control? There was always smiles from ear to ear in these sisters and the only person regretting their life was the newscaster. It is a great peek into what true happiness can actually look like.
I admire their faith and their simple life. How one in the outside world tries to find joy in drugs or other addiction is for them a joy but is harmful to oneself and the community around them ..the nuns find joy through their love of God without harm to themselves and their prayers help others
For those of you are watching this. DO NOT judge these NUNS. They have chosen this life because... 1) they want to be closed to God. 2) Believe it or not they are all praying to all humanities, especially the PRIEST, Holy Father and the Catholic Church. 3) they are the Militant prayers of God. They FAST AND PRAY DAILY 24/7. 4) Lastly, they chosen this life to be closed to the ONE who created the world, animals and YOU. God Bless. Always persevere in prayers daily. God is watching and waiting.
how absolutely beautiful to see these Carmelite sisters in their traditional habits... I'm a Carmelite tertiary and it alwsys fills me with love to see the Carmelites in their proper habit. . the conciliar one have removec their toque and replaced it witj a white head band.. yeuch!
A beautiful example of prayer and work for God. Instead of splitting theological hairs. With every retreat I've spent at a monastery, I've learned so much more about God's love, just by being there, than from so many over-analytical theological books or discussions. God bless you, ladies.
Im 20 and am discerning my vocation. I will be starting a vocational discernment group this week. Please pray for me sisters. There are so many religious orders, its hard to choose. I already went to visit a vietnamese speaking Dominicans but i dont see myself there. Maybe im meant for marriage or maybe i meant for another order or maybe i didnt understand the language and that is why i felt not at home. I worry too much, so i need your prayers sisters. Thank you
How odd - The church believes in bible prophecy - Also knowing that prophecy WILL CEASE. Religion at its best has no fault- but evil is a open enemy to the womb borns. Causing many innocent holy souls to be judged many thousands of years before birth...The new earth does not exist yet...and that god they serve has already judged the unborn as evil , whores...HIS made decisions for what happens to fetuses and females and males in their marriage beds - it another type of occultic abortion of souls. Like the one nun said:- " we all seek peace🙄 That is no GOD at all.
This is real Dedication.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐💐💐💐😇👼😇👼😇👼😇 Outside living is so modern and the nuns are so closed in almost compared to a life in prison.
Their activities are not a waste. They are the spiritual "frequency holders" as Eckhart Tolle would put it. That powerful energy they create helps balance out all the evil in the world that is created every day.
" I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the NAZARENE - JESUS IS TOO COLOSAL FOR THE PEN, No one can read the Gospels wthout the feeling of actual presence of JESUS " (Albert Einstein) .
Very informative narration, and documentary, of the daily lives, of These clostered, Carmelite nuns. The individual Sisters narration of their lives, convey, a deeply global, peaceful experience. Thank You Sisters for all Your Great Work!
Praying for what No marriage children or money Many are kept against their will They get abused by priests and other nuns They can’t talk and no bibles It’s a cult Prat for them
@@francis5326 . are you from Dublin. Wonderful. I had been studying English in Dublin for 7 months till April 2022. right now I am in Poland because of my vaccation but from July I will be in Dublin or drogheda
I admire these nuns.They are genuinely doing God's work. They look happy and very peaceful.I also want to get closer to God,and I'm struggling and losing hope. Please pray for me.
blessings to the sisters and their consacration and ministry, may the lord bless their vocation always and forever, their families and their monastery and everyone that prays for them and with them, I join their prayer and entrust myself to their intercession
This sounds more and more appealing. I could honestly leave the world and what its becoming behind, for the quiet of God and our Lord Jesus. Loved how the Mother tossed right back to that reporter on the 'no God' question. I guess we have to pray for her too, to come to our Lord.
They are really happy really really happy face and happy eyes. I'm barber I see many face and eyes. You can't see many people like this happy. What is the secret 🤔
THERE IS A WONDERFUL BOOK CALLED THE WAY OF DIVINE LOVE, ALSO AVAILABLE ON VIDEOS ON LINE - AND OUR LORD SPEAKS SO LOVINGLY AND WONDERFULLY TO HIS CONSECRATED SOULS. IT IS AWESOME HIS MESSAGE TO THEM! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.
I asked all the good people to pray that I can come off drugs and get a home with peace please God are Mary help my son who has autism and my daughter and peace of mind I love them I am coming of menadrone and tablets sometimes I have to have theses drugs before I bring my children out to play or go shopping I was on heroin crack cocaine and I took crack cocaine a few days ago I don't want it in my life I need a place I can call a home I have seen bad stuff in my life I seen a good friend of mine shot dead beside me in a pub and seen other things which was bad I was clean for nearly a year on fresh air it was beautiful not waking up to get get a drug den the people I was with and I have myself to blame for my relapse I ask you to pray for my intentions which I dream about all positive from Dublin Ireland thanks 🙏✌⚘💙🇨🇮🙏
Hi Francis, Have you heard of Sr. Clare Crocket? I think you would love her story. You can pray to her to help you give up the drugs. She used to drink a lot before her conversion. Her story is amazing! the movie made about her life is called "Sr. Clare: All or Nothing" You can find it on TH-cam, I believe. God bless you!
Being a cloistered nun is a totally different vocation from an active congregation of Sisters who do many apostolic works. We will keep you in our prayers as you discern your vocation. Just as working actively to help others so too the cloistered nuns help others by their life of prayer and sacrifice.
+Johanna K-Penn.Thank you. may the holy spirit Sophia keep you in her prayers. thank you. I will pray for you all. cloistered nunship may not be for me but I understand it is for others. it is attractive but I will feel selfish since I'm already a shut in
PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR LIFE WAYS FOR I DO SHARE. AGE IS IRRELEVANT TO FOLLOW CHRIST. SILENT PRAYERS IS THE ENCOUNTER FOR MAKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHRIST. LOVE YOU SISTERS FOR PRAYING FOR YOU US TOO. PRAISE GOD ALWAYS!! OUTSIDE WORLD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND ONLY THOSE WHO LIVE & SERVE PEOPLE IN LOVE OF CHRIST ALONE!! AMEN!!
Is a "regular" life busily filled with studies, family, career, the proverbial bucket list more meaningful? I have always felt that people occupy themselves with all the busyness in life yet never find out what life was for. I look at pictures of people from a hundred years ago looking back at the camera and I see my own mortality - I will be one them one of these days. Are our lives meant to be spent working hard to ensure that our stay in this transient life will be as happy and comfortable as possible... and then we die? Time is the currency we use to spend our life and we have no choice but to spend it one second at a time. We can't hoard it and we can't get more of it. We just have to spend it for the highest value we can find. I think that is what these women are doing. Spending it and leaving all the good things in this life behind for the highest value they could find, -maybe they have chosen "the better part." “…She had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and listened to him speaking. Now Martha, who was distracted with all the serving, …my sister is leaving me to do the serving all by myself….' But the Lord answered, 'Martha, Martha,' he said, 'you worry and fret about so many things…and yet few are needed, indeed only one. It is Mary who has chosen the better part….' Luke 10:39-42 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then IN HIS JOY went and SOLD ALL HE HAD and bought that field. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and SOLD EVERYTHING HE HAD and bought it.” Matthew 13:44-46 "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. Matthew 16:24-25
A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER FROM WAY OF DIVINE LOVE THAT JESUS ABSOLUTELY LOVES US TO SAY, AND THE MEANING THAT IT HAS TO HIM WHEN WE SAY IT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME AND ANOTHER POWERFUL PRAY OUR LORD JESUS GAVE TO SR. JOSEFA FOR US ALL TO SAY FOR SOULS! GOD BLESS. As Josefa was saying some prayers; the Litany of the Sacred Heart and she had a little time left over to pray.. so she took the Invocations of the First Friday Novena, and when she arrived at the words; 'To Thy close union with the Heavenly Father I unite myself', Jesus suddenly appeared to her in radiant beauty. And she continues: "His raiment seem to be woven of gold, His Heart was a blazing furnace and from the wound in It came dazzling light. I renewed my vows and begged Him to pardon me for being so cold in His presence. It seemed to me though that it was not from want of love, because I love Him more than anything on Earth. . . . He listened to me and looked at me, and then said: "Do you know, Josefa, that that prayer is so pleasing to Me and is of such worth, that it far surpasses the most eloquent and sublime ones that could be offered Me. What is of greater value than My Hearts union with My Heavenly Father?. . . When souls say this prayer they penetrate, as it were, into My Heart, unite themselves to God, and this is the most supernatural act that can be done here below, for by it they begin to live a heavenly life which consists of nothing else than the perfect and intimate union of the creature with its God and Creator. " 'Continue your prayer, Josefa, for by it you adore, repair, merit and love. Yes, go on with that prayer, and I will continue the work of love.' " "Then she said I committed all my distresses to His Heart," she wrote, "and He replied: 'Be not disquieted. . . it is I Myself who am directing everything.' " ANOTHER PRAY SO POWERFUL, OUR LORD GAVE TO HER FOR US ALL TO SAY: "O God most holy and just . . . Father of all clemency and of infinite goodness. Thou who didst create man out of love and through love has made him heir to eternal blessings; if he has sinned against Thee through frailty and if he deserves chastisement, accept the merits of Thy Son who offers Himself to Thee as a Victim of expiation. By those divine merits, forgive sinful men, and deign to reinstate them as heirs of Heaven. O My Father, pity and mercy for souls."
God wants them to be Carmelites. To be a Carmelite has a responsibility, that of praying for the world. I have never seen a sulking Carmelite. They all look inebriated. Yes, inebriated with the Spirit of God. No joke!
I hey are locked in the convents forced to work not paid and RAPED by priests How about you wake up The Catholic Church is a pagan mother goddess worshiping satanic cult. Priests rape children and get away with it The church covers up crimes and one million nuns have lived in poverty with no family husbands and children for nothing That’s not biblical Jesus never said we should have nuns The Catholic Church made this up for free labor Same with priests not marrying it’s not biblical Look at the results Sexual deviants all over your church Even popes Cardinals and bishops have raped children and nuns. You have been deceived by spiritual beings and better get prayed on by a man of god Find a church that teaches hat has a pastor and get there for Easter Sunday People will help you Jesus said you must be born again to enter heaven so do it! Good luck
THIS IS FROM WAY OF DIVINE LOVE - SISTER JOSEFA MENENDEZ - A SPECIAL POST ON CONSECRATED SOULS FROM THE VERY WORDS OF JESUS Please . . . . share generously with others, Especially with Consecrated souls. Thank you very much ~ and God bless you and yours. 🙏👑🕊️🌹 And He said to Sister Josefa: "And now write for My consecrated souls." It was the last time Josefa would transcribe the burning desires of the Heart of Jesus for them: "I call them all - My priests, My religious, and My nuns - to live an intimate life of union with Me. "It is their privilege to know My longings and to share in My joys and sorrows. "There's, to labor at My interest, never sparing themselves trouble or pain. "Theirs, by prayer and penance, to make reparation for many, many souls. "There's, above all, to become more and more closely united to Me and never to abandon Me, never to leave Me alone! Some do not understand and forget that it is for them to give Me companionship and consolation. . . . "And finally, it is for them to combine together in a league of love making but one in My Heart, to implore for souls the knowledge of truth, life and pardon. And when they see with deep sorrow the outrages I receive, My chosen souls will offer themselves to make reparation and to labor at My work; let their trust be unhesitating, for I shall not refuse their supplications, and all they asked will be granted them. "Let them all, then, apply themselves to the study of My Heart and to understand My feelings, striving to live in union with Me, to converse with Me and to consult Me. Let them cloth their actions in My merits, bathe them in My Blood, and consecrate their lives to the saving of souls and the extension of My glory. "Let them not desend to personal reflections which belittle them, but rejoice at seeing themselves closed with the power of My Blood and of My merits. If they rely on self, they will do little or nothing, but if they labor with Me, in My Name and for My glory, they will be powerful. "Let these consecrated souls revive their desire for reparation, and beg confidently for the advent of the Divine King: that is, for My universal Sovereignty. "Let them be burnt up with zeal and charity for sinners. . . Praying for them with compassionate hearts and treating them with all gentleness. "Let the world hear from their lips how great is My kindness, My love and My Mercy. "Armed with prayer, penance, and reliance on Me, never on self, let them go forward to their apostolic labors in the power and goodness of My Heart which is ever with them. . . . "My apostles we're poor and ignorant men, but rich and wise in the wealth and wisdom of God, and their watchword was: In Thy Name, oh Lord, I shall labor and be all-powerful. "I ask three things of My consecrated souls: "REPARATION, that is a life of union with Him who makes Divine Reparation: to work for Him, with Him, in Him, in a spirit of reparation, in close union with His feelings and desires. "LOVE, that is intimacy with Him who is all Love, and who humbles Himself to ask His creatures not to leave Him alone, but to give Him their love. "CONFIDENCE, that is trust in Him who is goodness and mercy. . . . With Him whom I live with day and night. . . . who knows me and whom I know. . . . who loves me and whom I love. . . . In Him who calls His chosen souls in a special way to live with Him, to know His Heart and so to trust Him for everything." This concludes His Message, and then the following is written: The last lines of the Message were written. . . . Josefa noted down what her Master wished her to communicate from Him to the Bishop of Poitiers, whom she was expecting shortly, then she laid down her pen. A few instants pass in Love's embrace. . . . Gods secret. . . . How solemn was the hour which marked the termination of Our Lords Appeal to souls.
@@Germanchickkk I'm using the term 'religious' in it's narrow sense, meaning monastic. Without going down the rabbit hole of whether religions are good or bad, my point is that many people would find happiness in a communal setting if they only had the option.
@E Dogg36 Tell it to my dad, who was an orphan, raised by decent people in a church orphanage, sent to college on a church scholarship. Also my wife, who was raised in the Methodist church very happily.
Some say what if there is no God. Well All of us will surely die even there is no God. If you live a life of happiness you will just be upset and depress thinking that it is on an ending stage when you are dying even there is no God . It is the same on both. We all will experience sadness at the time of death even there is no God. But even there is no God. All of those who live for God are happy in their hope of eternal life. When the time of their death comes they are much happier knowing they are coming to eternal happiness. They die peacefully even there is no God. Even there is no God, both life will just come to an end and those who live in happiness will be much in sorrow saying goodbye to all those happiness in their life. But what if there is God. When they die, the life of those who live in happiness rejecting God will end and the torment begins for eternity and those who live for God will just start the happiness that will never end. Look how life on earth is arranged beautifully. The stars, the moon, the sun, the animals, the plants, the human being. Do you think they are just a product of co incidence? Do you think there is no one who arrange them? Do you really think there is no God? Well the best thing you can do is accept whatever life it will be for you and live it always for God. Even it is a life of happiness or not, live it for God. If there is no God, then at least, you will die peacefully. But when there is God then it is the start of your never ending happiness.The only worst thing you will do is to live without God in your life.
This is a lie Nuns are forced into convents by their fathers They can’t leave They work for no pay They can’t have friends or family They can’t Marry or have children They are raped by priests They are raped by each other The Catholic Church is a pagan mother Goddess worshiping cult so you need to wake up and research what you have learned Good news no more nuns they are retiring in silence Think about women locked up for life and they have priests over them that have all the power You really think priests are holy You know they have been raping children for years all over the world Nuns don’t even get a bible so how are they praying? Anyway repent get to a church that teaches bible with a pastor and learn gods word Jesus said you must be born again to enter heaven so look into that Good luck
What’s the problem? Just because most people don’t choose it, couldn’t live it, these sisters have! No one was kidnapped and taken by force! They aren’t bothering anyone. People who can’t stand it that others exist who don’t agree with them, something is mentally off.
Thank you dear sisters for praying for the rest of the world
Beautiful!!! Thank you for praying for the whole world dear beloved sisters! God bless, Mary keep!!!

Lovely Sisters leading such a beautiful mystical life as they are "in the world but not of the world".
These sisters radiate happiness and faith. Thank you for posting this.
To live a life of prayers and giving to others. Oh how beautiful a life of grace.
Every prayer is always answered. Those not answered is for the good of us. Our Heavenly father knows what's best for us. They are living a wonderful life and I believe they are in very close communion with the Lord. But this is not a calling for everybody. There is something very pure and wonderful when one sits in silence. Pray they be blessed abundantly.
Am a proud Catholic,God will pay u Sisters......
Keep On
What wonderful women, to give up their whole lives to pray for us! I admire anyone who can live this type of quiet, dedicated life. I hope lots of young women join them. What a wonderful testimony to the reality of God.
I need every prayer I can get, so hope they keep up the good work.
I admire thier decision to serve God this way. No doubt they are praying without ceasing and God honors this. I love how the nun said God's NO is also an answer because he knows best. I'm not Catholic but I totally respect these women of God.
This is NOT God's way!
It's a pure simple joy. Please pray for us dear sisters.
The sisters seem to glow with an inner light. 🙏🏼
I love nuns so much, they’re so adorable and pure, the nicest people ever
My schooling and some of my working years were with Catholic nuns. In general, they are just like people outside in terms of temperament. Within their own community, there's some bickering, gossiping, showing off, griping, holding grudges, etc, going on. 😁 Admittedly, the contemplatives have less chance to do so.
paul w that’s a bit exaggerated 🙄
Gaudia well yes that goes for the contemplative life too we are not free from our human weakness sadly
@paul w okay...many bad thing have happened.. but dont blame catholics nor Catholicism blame the sexually immoral.
@paul w why are you so bigoted?
I think they are lovely women who are obviously so happy with the life they have chosen. I couldn't follow their path but I respect their way of life.
paul w and where are you from my friend? (If you don’t mind me asking)
What a wonderful comfort that they are praying for all of us. What could be better? Happy Christmas.
Sister Asilika from Tokou VIllage on Ovalau Fiji Island - Pray for more Vocation to Contemplative life
For those who believe in the power of prayer no explanation is needed. But for those who do not believe no explanation is sufficient
Respect should be given to all religions and religious people!
God bless this beautiful women

There was always smiles from ear to ear in these sisters and the only person regretting their life was the newscaster. It is a great peek into what true happiness can actually look like.
Well said!
I admire their faith and their simple life. How one in the outside world tries to find joy in drugs or other addiction is for them a joy but is harmful to oneself and the community around them ..the nuns find joy through their love of God without harm to themselves and their prayers help others
For those of you are watching this. DO NOT judge these NUNS. They have chosen this life because... 1) they want to be closed to God. 2) Believe it or not they are all praying to all humanities, especially the PRIEST, Holy Father and the Catholic Church. 3) they are the Militant prayers of God. They FAST AND PRAY DAILY 24/7. 4) Lastly, they chosen this life to be closed to the ONE who created the world, animals and YOU. God Bless. Always persevere in prayers daily.

Thank you sisters for praying for us.
Thank you for this video, it is very inspiring, very beautiful
Beautiful souls each one of these nuns .
Thank you Sisters.
God bless yous.
how absolutely beautiful to see these Carmelite sisters in their traditional habits... I'm a Carmelite tertiary and it alwsys fills me with love to see the Carmelites in their proper habit. . the conciliar one have removec their toque and replaced it witj a white head band.. yeuch!
A beautiful example of prayer and work for God. Instead of splitting theological hairs. With every retreat I've spent at a monastery, I've learned so much more about God's love, just by being there, than from so many over-analytical theological books or discussions. God bless you, ladies.
Beutifull they complete give themselve up to the Lord, it's a grace. The Lord bless them.
beautiful sacrifice for our god who died for us.so proud on Catholic Church n decisions of this nuns.may god bless u More n more
Amen
Im 20 and am discerning my vocation. I will be starting a vocational discernment group this week. Please pray for me sisters. There are so many religious orders, its hard to choose. I already went to visit a vietnamese speaking Dominicans but i dont see myself there. Maybe im meant for marriage or maybe i meant for another order or maybe i didnt understand the language and that is why i felt not at home. I worry too much, so i need your prayers sisters. Thank you
Hi there, which country are you from?
@@johannak-penn2876 Hello, America
Thanks for praying for all of us
Thank you, Sisters for your prayers.GB
What a beautiful life these women was been chosen to be a nun and they 're lucky 🙏❤️/ Thank you for sharing RMR Oct. 11, 2020
God bless all the Carmelite sisters over the world.
please do not judge this video because you are not perfect either, you shouldn't judge someone if you haven't judged yourself yet
How odd - The church believes in bible prophecy -
Also knowing that prophecy WILL CEASE.
Religion at its best has no fault- but evil is a open enemy to the womb borns.
Causing many innocent holy souls to be judged many thousands of years before birth...The new earth does not exist yet...and that god they serve has already judged the unborn as evil , whores...HIS made decisions for what happens to fetuses and females and males in their marriage beds - it another type of occultic abortion of souls.
Like the one nun said:- " we all seek peace🙄
That is no GOD at all.
This is real Dedication.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐💐💐💐😇👼😇👼😇👼😇 Outside living is so modern and the nuns are so closed in almost compared to a life in prison.
Their activities are not a waste. They are the spiritual "frequency holders" as Eckhart Tolle would put it. That powerful energy they create helps balance out all the evil in the world that is created every day.
" I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the NAZARENE - JESUS IS TOO COLOSAL FOR THE PEN, No one can read the Gospels wthout the feeling of actual presence of JESUS " (Albert Einstein) .
Very informative narration, and documentary, of the daily lives, of These clostered, Carmelite nuns.
The individual Sisters narration of their lives, convey, a deeply global, peaceful experience.
Thank You Sisters for all Your Great Work!
'Peace is what people are looking for anyway' keep praying sisters
Praying for what
No marriage children or money
Many are kept against their will
They get abused by priests and other nuns
They can’t talk and no bibles
It’s a cult
Prat for them

I hope more young ladies give their love for CHRIST like you. PRAISE GOD!
Happy sisters doing their best for the world through the lord 🙏🏻
God bless these saintly ladies who are praying for each and every one of us.
This sounds more and more appealing. I could honestly leave the world and what its becoming behind, for the quiet of God and our Lord Jesus. Loved how the Mother tossed right back to that reporter on the 'no God' question. I guess we have to pray for her too, to come to our Lord.
They are so so sweet.
God Bless you¡¡ The world needs good will...
A BEAUTIFUL LIFE TO TRY AND HELP OTHERS THAN FOR THEIR OWN ENTERTAINMENT …..
What a great sacrifices for God, God bless them always, there are so many Holy souls that keep this world from the wrath of God.
They are really happy really really happy face and happy eyes.
I'm barber I see many face and eyes. You can't see many people like this happy. What is the secret 🤔
Jafar Klash God is the secret. I’ve been working towards this.
Love of God , That is the secret. A preview of Heaven.
Jesus 🙏
patrick felice so very true. The more my faith grow, the happier I am. It’s such a gift.
GOD
THERE IS A WONDERFUL BOOK CALLED THE WAY OF DIVINE LOVE, ALSO AVAILABLE ON VIDEOS ON LINE - AND OUR LORD SPEAKS SO LOVINGLY AND WONDERFULLY TO HIS CONSECRATED SOULS. IT IS AWESOME HIS MESSAGE TO THEM! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.
SOMETHING BEAUITFUL IN THIS CRAZY WORLD
being suitable enough and being a bride of Jesus is so worth it
What a peaceful life. If there is no GOD... They spent their lives in harmony and peace. But there is a God and they will forever be in peace.
At peace is what most are looking for.
Beautiful video!

Hi Francis,
Have you heard of Sr. Clare Crocket? I think you would love her story. You can pray to her to help you give up the drugs. She used to drink a lot before her conversion. Her story is amazing! the movie made about her life is called "Sr. Clare: All or Nothing" You can find it on TH-cam, I believe.
God bless you!
Simple and be with true self and with God. 😊
im not a huge fan of cloistered nuns but i do have a lot respect for them. im an aspiring sister but i want to join an order where i can help others
Being a cloistered nun is a totally different vocation from an active congregation of Sisters who do many apostolic works. We will keep you in our prayers as you discern your vocation. Just as working actively to help others so too the cloistered nuns help others by their life of prayer and sacrifice.
+Johanna K-Penn.Thank you. may the holy spirit Sophia keep you in her prayers. thank you. I will pray for you all. cloistered nunship may not be for me but I understand it is for others. it is attractive but I will feel selfish since I'm already a shut in
***** still... I rather help people with my hardwork AND prayer.
Send me you stats. STAT!
REMONSTER ?
PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR LIFE WAYS FOR I DO SHARE. AGE IS IRRELEVANT TO FOLLOW CHRIST. SILENT PRAYERS IS THE ENCOUNTER FOR MAKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHRIST. LOVE YOU SISTERS FOR PRAYING FOR YOU US TOO. PRAISE GOD ALWAYS!! OUTSIDE WORLD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND ONLY THOSE WHO LIVE & SERVE PEOPLE IN LOVE OF CHRIST ALONE!! AMEN!!
Is a "regular" life busily filled with studies, family, career, the proverbial bucket list more meaningful? I have always felt that
people occupy themselves with all the busyness in life yet never find out what life was for. I look at pictures of people from a hundred years ago looking back at the camera and I see my own mortality - I will be one them one of these days. Are our lives meant to be spent working hard to ensure that our stay in this transient life will be as happy and comfortable as possible... and then we die? Time is the currency we use to spend our life and we have no choice but to spend it one second at a time. We can't hoard it and we can't get more of it. We just have to spend it for the highest value we can find. I think that is what these women are doing. Spending it and leaving all the good things in this life behind for the highest value they could find, -maybe they have chosen "the better part."
“…She had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and listened to him speaking. Now Martha, who was distracted with all the serving, …my sister is leaving me to do the serving all by myself….' But the Lord answered, 'Martha, Martha,' he said, 'you worry and fret about so many things…and yet few are needed, indeed only one. It is Mary who has chosen the better part….' Luke 10:39-42
"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then IN HIS JOY went and SOLD ALL HE HAD and bought that field. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and SOLD EVERYTHING HE HAD and bought it.” Matthew 13:44-46
"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. Matthew 16:24-25
A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER FROM WAY OF DIVINE LOVE THAT JESUS ABSOLUTELY LOVES US TO SAY, AND THE MEANING THAT IT HAS TO HIM WHEN WE SAY IT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME AND ANOTHER POWERFUL PRAY OUR LORD JESUS GAVE TO SR. JOSEFA FOR US ALL TO SAY FOR SOULS! GOD BLESS.
As Josefa was saying some prayers; the Litany of the Sacred Heart and she had a little time left over to pray.. so she took the Invocations of the First Friday Novena, and when she arrived at the words;
'To Thy close union with the Heavenly Father I unite myself', Jesus suddenly appeared to her in radiant beauty.
And she continues: "His raiment seem to be woven of gold, His Heart was a blazing furnace and from the wound in It came dazzling light. I renewed my vows and begged Him to pardon me for being so cold in His presence. It seemed to me though that it was not from want of love, because I love Him more than anything on Earth. . . . He listened to me and looked at me, and then said:
"Do you know, Josefa, that that prayer is so pleasing to Me and is of such worth, that it far surpasses the most eloquent and sublime ones that could be offered Me. What is of greater value than My Hearts union with My Heavenly Father?. . . When souls say this prayer they penetrate, as it were, into My Heart, unite themselves to God, and this is the most supernatural act that can be done here below, for by it they begin to live a heavenly life which consists of nothing else than the perfect and intimate union of the creature with its God and Creator.
" 'Continue your prayer, Josefa, for by it you adore, repair, merit and love. Yes, go on with that prayer, and I will continue the work of love.' "
"Then she said I committed all my distresses to His Heart," she wrote, "and He replied: 'Be not disquieted. . . it is I Myself who am directing everything.' "
ANOTHER PRAY SO POWERFUL, OUR LORD GAVE TO HER FOR US ALL TO SAY:
"O God most holy and just . . . Father of all clemency and of infinite goodness. Thou who didst create man out of love and through love has made him heir to eternal blessings; if he has sinned against Thee through frailty and if he deserves chastisement, accept the merits of Thy Son who offers Himself to Thee as a Victim of expiation. By those divine merits, forgive sinful men, and deign to reinstate them as heirs of Heaven. O My Father, pity and mercy for souls."
May the Lord bless you all I wanna be a nunman praise be the heavenly Father Amine

SO MUCH RESPECT ,CERTAINLY YOUR MUST BE TOUCHING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD.
They are so happy, it smittens
God wants them to be Carmelites. To be a Carmelite has a responsibility, that of praying for the world. I have never seen a sulking Carmelite. They all look inebriated. Yes, inebriated with the Spirit of God. No joke!
They see what the world offer and say: no, thanks.
They preffer All and leave nothing.
The question is that lay people don't understand.
If we can live as a nun it's very enjoyable way , to experience God presence.....
I hey are locked in the convents forced to work not paid and RAPED by priests
How about you wake up
The Catholic Church is a pagan mother goddess worshiping satanic cult.
Priests rape children and get away with it
The church covers up crimes and one million nuns have lived in poverty with no family
husbands and children for nothing
That’s not biblical
Jesus never said we should have nuns
The Catholic Church made this up for free labor
Same with priests not marrying it’s not biblical
Look at the results
Sexual deviants all over your church
Even popes Cardinals and bishops
have raped children and nuns.
You have been deceived by spiritual
beings and better get prayed on by a man of god
Find a church that teaches hat has a pastor
and get there for Easter Sunday
People will help you
Jesus said you must be born again to enter heaven so do it!
Good luck
They are happier than me
God bless them
THIS IS FROM WAY OF DIVINE LOVE - SISTER JOSEFA MENENDEZ - A SPECIAL POST ON CONSECRATED SOULS FROM THE VERY WORDS OF JESUS
Please . . . . share generously with others, Especially with Consecrated souls.
Thank you very much ~ and God bless you and yours. 🙏👑🕊️🌹
And He said to Sister Josefa:
"And now write for My consecrated souls."
It was the last time Josefa would transcribe the burning desires of the Heart of Jesus for them:
"I call them all - My priests, My religious, and My nuns - to live an intimate life of union with Me.
"It is their privilege to know My longings and to share in My joys and sorrows.
"There's, to labor at My interest, never sparing themselves trouble or pain.
"Theirs, by prayer and penance, to make reparation for many, many souls.
"There's, above all, to become more and more closely united to Me and never to abandon Me, never to leave Me alone! Some do not understand and forget that it is for them to give Me companionship and consolation. . . .
"And finally, it is for them to combine together in a league of love making but one in My Heart, to implore for souls the knowledge of truth, life and pardon. And when they see with deep sorrow the outrages I receive, My chosen souls will offer themselves to make reparation and to labor at My work; let their trust be unhesitating, for I shall not refuse their supplications, and all they asked will be granted them.
"Let them all, then, apply themselves to the study of My Heart and to understand My feelings, striving to live in union with Me, to converse with Me and to consult Me. Let them cloth their actions in My merits, bathe them in My Blood, and consecrate their lives to the saving of souls and the extension of My glory.
"Let them not desend to personal reflections which belittle them, but rejoice at seeing themselves closed with the power of My Blood and of My merits. If they rely on self, they will do little or nothing, but if they labor with Me, in My Name and for My glory, they will be powerful.
"Let these consecrated souls revive their desire for reparation, and beg confidently for the advent of the Divine King: that is, for My universal Sovereignty.
"Let them be burnt up with zeal and charity for sinners. . . Praying for them with compassionate hearts and treating them with all gentleness.
"Let the world hear from their lips how great is My kindness, My love and My Mercy.
"Armed with prayer, penance, and reliance on Me, never on self, let them go forward to their apostolic labors in the power and goodness of My Heart which is ever with them. . . .
"My apostles we're poor and ignorant men, but rich and wise in the wealth and wisdom of God, and their watchword was: In Thy Name, oh Lord, I shall labor and be all-powerful.
"I ask three things of My consecrated souls:
"REPARATION, that is a life of union with Him who makes Divine Reparation: to work for Him, with Him, in Him, in a spirit of reparation, in close union with His feelings and desires.
"LOVE, that is intimacy with Him who is all Love, and who humbles Himself to ask His creatures not to leave Him alone, but to give Him their love.
"CONFIDENCE, that is trust in Him who is goodness and mercy. . . . With Him whom I live with day and night. . . . who knows me and whom I know. . . . who loves me and whom I love. . . . In Him who calls His chosen souls in a special way to live with Him, to know His Heart and so to trust Him for everything."
This concludes His Message, and then the following is written:
The last lines of the Message were written. . . . Josefa noted down what her Master wished her to communicate from Him to the Bishop of Poitiers, whom she was expecting shortly, then she laid down her pen. A few instants pass in Love's embrace. . . . Gods secret. . . . How solemn was the hour which marked the termination of Our Lords Appeal to souls.
Thanks be to God for these sisters, for their prayers and penance for the world!
Christ have mercy 🙏🏾
People should be encouraged to consider the religious life. A lot of people would find happiness if it were more of an option.
How do you know? I completely disagree. Religion is root of many evils.
@@Germanchickkk I'm using the term 'religious' in it's narrow sense, meaning monastic. Without going down the rabbit hole of whether religions are good or bad, my point is that many people would find happiness in a communal setting if they only had the option.
@E Dogg36 Tell it to my dad, who was an orphan, raised by decent people in a church orphanage, sent to college on a church scholarship. Also my wife, who was raised in the Methodist church very happily.
Thank you for your kind words and we pray for many young people to respond to God’s call

They spread love!
Some say what if there is no God. Well All of us will surely die even there is no God. If you live a life of happiness you will just be upset and depress thinking that it is on an ending stage when you are dying even there is no God . It is the same on both. We all will experience sadness at the time of death even there is no God. But even there is no God. All of those who live for God are happy in their hope of eternal life. When the time of their death comes they are much happier knowing they are coming to eternal happiness. They die peacefully even there is no God. Even there is no God, both life will just come to an end and those who live in happiness will be much in sorrow saying goodbye to all those happiness in their life.
But what if there is God. When they die, the life of those who live in happiness rejecting God will end and the torment begins for eternity and those who live for God will just start the happiness that will never end.
Look how life on earth is arranged beautifully. The stars, the moon, the sun, the animals, the plants, the human being. Do you think they are just a product of co incidence? Do you think there is no one who arrange them? Do you really think there is no God?
Well the best thing you can do is accept whatever life it will be for you and live it always for God. Even it is a life of happiness or not, live it for God. If there is no God, then at least, you will die peacefully. But when there is God then it is the start of your never ending happiness.The only worst thing you will do is to live without God in your life.
There may not be a God but these Sisters are getting peace on Earth.
So beautiful.
This is a lie
Nuns are forced into convents by their fathers
They can’t leave
They work for no pay
They can’t have friends or family
They can’t Marry or have children
They are raped by priests
They are raped by each other
The Catholic Church is a pagan
mother Goddess worshiping cult
so you need to wake up and research what you have learned
Good news no more nuns they are retiring
in silence
Think about women locked up for life
and they have priests over them that have all the power
You really think priests are holy
You know they have been raping children
for years all over the world
Nuns don’t even get a bible so how are they praying?
Anyway repent get to a church that teaches bible with a pastor and learn gods word
Jesus said you must be born again to enter heaven so look into that
Good luck
I am proud of you sisters.
The Prioress (i.e. mother superior) Mary of Carmel, passed away some 10 years ago in 2008. :(
I’m sure she’s found peace and is With God now!✨😇🕊
I wanted to join them when i was in High school, but they said, I was too young,, they said to complete school, and see the world before i can decide
Which country? I was told the same thing but I persevered and I entered at 19 and I’m still here but I entered in another country.
What’s the problem? Just because most people don’t choose it, couldn’t live it, these sisters have! No one was kidnapped and taken by force! They aren’t bothering anyone.
People who can’t stand it that others exist who don’t agree with them, something is mentally off.
The silence is deafening, isn't it?
That was in the movie called sister act & sister act 2. She played the part of a nun.
