WIsh they would have discernment for marriage (dating is not that). Pre-cana is a few hours. Seems harder to become a nun or a priest. Marriage is just as serious a sacrament as becoming a priest or nun...you wouldn't know it though. Best of luck

You're role is to birth & nurse.. simple.

most nuns are not women who are afraid to be alone, they feel a real inner call. if someone like this was running away from something and thinks a convent is a safe escape, it will happen like it did for this girl, that the nuns will see it is not a good fit. like they did for this girl. Religious life is amazing and much more satisfying than a life full of temporary things..... this includes a husband, everything eventually leaves us. God never does

Religious orders - where unintelligent Catholics escape when they want the church to think for them! I hear that America is getting its priests from Africa because our seminaries are empty! Women are more stubborn, so religious orders for women are not going to die anytime soon. Nunneries: warehouses where Catholic women kneel until they come to the realization that God wants us to be in the world: doing good.

I dont even belong to a religion and even if I did, I dont think it would be any radical change of lifestyle or values, but the topic kinda fascinate me. And it seems like those who choose that lifestyle are usually really good people, and thankfully actually fullfilled in what they do

Just because you don’t want to don’t tell others it could be a great fit.

You are absolutely right. You have discerned correctly. You do not belong in religious life. Thanks be to God for helping you make the right choice. God Bless.

Very good! I saw this right after a video on -- Carmelite nun of a monastery in Christchurch, NZ. * With due respect to Nuns and their choice, Celibacy is self-torture! IMHO, *CELIBACY is UNNATURAL* and, If Jesus did not ordered, why ADD Celibacy in religion?

All your reasons are so valid... I resonate. But still there is this large void in my heart.

If you have no call from God to be a religious or to become nun you will not even if you desire.Somehow God will send you back.

I pray God help me I want to be a nun

thank you! kind soul!!

Thanks for sharing with us more inspiration 🙏 ❤️ 🙌

Seems like shes comparing everything to being with a man vs being with Jesus, and that's not good.

Thereby check out Corinthians about single and marriage, and please remember you are blessedly with lovely children, some of us are better single so I know u will b happy

I really like your speaking style and I appreciate that you talk without background music. ( Why do most others talk over music?)

Remember too when discerning religious and consecrated life, that there are also Hermits, Consecrated Virgins and widows living the religious life as solitaries in the world. 😊💖🙏

I have been in single life for 17 yrs after a 14 yr relationship where I had 4 children, I was not religious at the time. Things changed after I went to confession at a Franciscan Monastery after the relationship ended, I wanted to become a lay sister though I was told by my spiritual director to wait for 6 yrs to decern, I did not feel called though I now live under the Law of Grace. The truth is I was called at 17 yrs old to France to care for the sick at Lourdes Grotto it was a Vocational calling and I didn’t go because I felt afraid to go alone to a foreign country, maybe I took the wrong path in life only God knows. 🕊️❤️‍🔥

I am a Franciscan sister, and our novice mistress told us that to be a good sister, you have to have the capacity to be a good wife and mother. One does not negate the other. To be a good Religious, the individual must be able to love in every situation one encounters; that means self-control and benevolent thinking of another person. If the individual grew up with good parents, that skill was learned at home. When a young woman wants to enter a community, she is carefully observed and one learns to discern what is right for that person. I have had my ups and downs but have been a happy Religious. Before I entered, I began as a Journalism major and took classes in nursing. When I entered, I was asked if I would like to teach. I am a high school teacher. Yes, we pray much, but so do other people. My cousin in Germany is a mother of 3 girls; she goes to Mass 2xs a week + Sunday. What is important is to discern what is good for you. Any choice must be free and fearless. Any vocation: marriage or Religious Life, or being single can be an escape route from something, but that is where maturity takes hold of the person and clear choices are made. I asked a young woman once what she was majoring in. She answered 'husband'. I asked if she had other ambitions. She answered, 'Yes, lots of money'. To me, that does not sound like the discernment for a happy life.

Beautiful. Everything you said was beautiful. Thank you! (You showing your beautiful ring repeatedly is hilarious! Love it! Hahah!)❤

For me, if ever opting for it, one should be Kingdom oriented... Souls oriented and challenging life that is sacrificing and total self giving....it should be a celebration of Love 🙏

Thank you ❤

1 Cor 6:20, glorify God in your body, Romans 12:1, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.

Thank you so much. I just learned alot.

Che bella la tua voce

We often go through life wondering why God allows us to experience things, especially if the experience doesn’t make sense at the time. Thankfully, God uses everything we’ve learned or experienced in the past to be able to deal with the present. See more in my reply. (I hit the send button by accident.)

I have a calling for religious life but also to be a mother 🥲

Good advice

Thank you 💕

I love how you phrased each reason to rethink discernment... I'm telling you each vocation is just as hard!

Great video, thank you a lot! God bless+ 🤗

Beautiful Soul

It's up to the person

This is my fav channel, the videos are so eyeopening and help me a lot with some uncertainties I have. Hope you guys are going to post more videos again. God bless!

Peace with God is always preferring His will to our own.

If one's vocation is to be called to live as a life of a nun of sister, then God has a plan for you. But it must be God calling you. If God's vocation for you is to be married, then keep yourself for that special person God has planned for you. If you have a vocation to be single, then be single. All callings require faith and trust in God's Grace and to live in a state of Grace.

So did you ever choose one for yourself?

What an important message! ❤❤❤ thank you

I am a single and revert catholic. If I turn 36 and still not found a man, I will decide to enter the convent for my religious life.

What's with the childish hairstyle? Not very appropriate, is it?
