Hello. I just found your channel. I have been researching Consecrated Virginity for some time now. And it is a very beautiful and special calling! To be consecrated property of God, and His wife! But, in my search for "Consecrated Virginity", there is something that intrigues me... Oh! I'm sorry... This is not a criticism, but something that I really can't understand: Why do consecrated virgins (at least all the ones I have seen) dress in ordinary clothes, dye their hair, nails, wear jewelry, etc.? This seems strange to me, because if they are "brides of Christ", shouldn't they leave behind the "vanities" of the world?! Saint Paul says that "married women care for the things of the world, to please their husbands, but unmarried women and virgins should care for the things of the spirit, to please the Lord". So, wouldn't it be better if Consecrated Virgins wore something that differentiated them from other Christian women! For if the Consecrated Virgin needs to be a witness to the world that she is consecrated to the Lord, how will people know this if she dresses just like everyone else? Oh! Of course, you might say, she will distinguish herself by her posture and way of living! Yes! But in truth, all Christian women - even if they are not 'Consecrated Virgins' - also need to distinguish themselves by their posture, and they also need to bear witness as good Christians in relation to worldly women. If this is not the case, when a 'Consecrated Virgin' is in a public place, she will only be recognized as the Spouse of Christ if she tells everyone so! I have actually thought about this consecration, but whenever I see a Consecrated Virgin dressed in ordinary clothes, with jewelry and dyed hair... it doesn't appeal to me... because I would like to be a bride of Jesus in the world, but dress like a consecrated woman, with a dress (or even a skirt and blouse) that is unique, so that I don't have to worry about the vanities of the world, and I would like to wear a veil, of course!... Oh! Then, perhaps you will say to me: "Then, you should go to a Convent of nuns who do missionary work, and wear a habit!" But, what I am trying to say is that a woman who consecrates herself as a "Bride of Christ" - regardless of whether she is a nun, celibate, hermit, or a Consecrated Virgin - should leave the "vanities" of the world, and wear something that really sets her apart from other Christian women. I know someone could still say to me: "But it is not the habit that 'makes a monk'!" Indeed, it does not 'make' him, but 'identifies' him; and, in a way, it requires her to 'bear witness' to what her habit represents! But, if she dresses in ordinary clothes, she can easily go unnoticed among the crowd, and not worry about 'being a witness'. Oh! Sorry if I was very annoying, but, as I said: it is something I cannot understand. I would also like to know if it is possible for Consecrated Virgins to wear a unique type of uniform? Sorry if I expressed myself badly; I am using an electronic translator; I am Brazilian.

Hi, Dawn. Were Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Rosa of Lima Consecrated Virgins? I’m a bit confused

God does not care about consecrated virgins. He wants consecrated non-racists. As a consecrated non-racist, you take a vow not to be racist and actively fight racism in all its forms until the day you die. You go out of your way to be friendly and welcoming towards other races. If racism even enters your heart in passing, you repent immediately and seek forgiveness from God. You learn as much as you can about other cultures and spread awareness amongst ignorant white people.

❤ thank you for these videos. They’ve been a great help to me - if I indeed become a consecrated virgin, it’s thanks to you and your content! God bless you ❤

Ex muslim... now christian... strong call for being consecrated virgin.... but i have no help

Love this. I have been considering this or discerning. Do you have any advice or how did you know for sure this was your vocation ?

Unfortunately, some young women are victims of rape and incests yet unmarried, then had children as a result Can they be brides of Christ?😭

Great job! God bless you!

Hi, the holy spirit coming to the world to clean it and give every women their men. Don't be surprised but I m Jesus wife. I like your calling very much. Good job.

I am not a consecrated virgin as I have a biological daughter (and, God willing, soon will be a grandmother), but I see the gift of spiritual motherhood blossoming in my life through my work and service. The Bridegroom makes us fruitful, indeed! Thanks Dawn for your inspiration! Blessings

Another wonderful video, thank you for these thoughts! When I discovered that spiritual motherhood was a thing, it resonated so deeply in my heart. Mary's spiritual motherhood to us all is what brought me into the faith initially, and so it is my aspiration moving forward to be spiritual family to the people God points out to me.

Good to have an update as to where you are in your vocation Dawn.

I'm a virgin, love u

Wow, it has been ages since you posted anything! Nice job!

This was extra charming ! 💙

I love your channel.

Πανεμορφο μοναστηρι! Αν κ εγω ειμαι ορθοδοξη χριστιανη. Πολυ μου αρεσε αυτο το καθολικο μοναστηρι!!! 🙏🙏🙏🇬🇷🇬🇷

What a beautiful vocation! A gift! Thank you for your discussion and use of Scripture passages to explain more about this beautiful calling.

I see!... 🤔 The point is learning to be content with whatever situation you are in right now.🤗👍❤️ It makes a lot of sense! BTW, for those who are wondering if they will ever become a Bride... No worries, because it will eventually happen. I mean, it is our destiny to become His Bride! Don't give up❤

"Find Him everywhere"... Now, that is a goal worth pursuing! 🤔🤗👍

This is beautiful! 🤗❤️👍 It baffles me that the world still despises bachelorettes and bachelors, virgins, in general. Is it just me, or is the entire world obsessively deriding singleness, even calling it a curse? I get the impression sometimes that sex is all that matters to most people. The infamous "bodycount", which I unfortunately got to learn about not long ago (Jesus didn't factor in that woman's bodycount when defending her, why should you?). Oh, but I am getting sidetracked... I wanted to thank you, Dawn, for all the Scripture verses that prove singleness is not a curse. 🤗❤️👍 I am 29 and single: Jesus wants it this way. Nothing to be ashamed of. Maybe I won't have a wife to guide, protect and to learn from during this earthly journey, and that is alright, too. Oh, and in case anyone here really desires to get married but is not quite there yet... Guess what? Wishes do come true sometimes, especially when faith is involved, so, hang in there! 👍🤗We are all getting married to Jesus in the end. That's right: all of us are getting married, either now or later. Thank you so much, Dawn! 🤗👍❤️ Don't engage in the "bodycount" culture or promote it, guys. I am pretty sure even past unbelieving me would have found such a premise "disagreeable", and that is a euphemism.

Wow if you think if God is not a lover then you're wrong 😜

I'm 42 single guy from Argentina and I'm thinking of celibacy life.

Hi Im 42 years old from the uk I wanted to become a nun when I was a teen I can not remember what age I was exactly but they did say I would have to wait to see after I became an adult, I remember I used to pretend I was a priest then a nun if wemen could become priests I would be one, I was not good at geting up early in the morning and a little bit lazy and I guess I wasnt ready to leave my paents at the time, I used to look up my catholic missle and do it daily I do not know whaere it is now but I do know I have them so I decided to forgo that, but at the time I did not know about conscration of virginity, but when I was dressing up to be a nun I would do mt own it was like as consacrative virgin ceremony could describe it I would say I did that but it was just between me and Jesus it was not like in a church thing please don`t judge I was young at the time I didnt look it up because I was brought up stricked safe enviloment, it was like I knew what I was doing but I did not know how I knew that it was like I was meant to do it, when I was a teen before that I was sitting on my bed I was not sleeping I was sitting up in my bed and it was like she had her arms streched out to me sheining like I knew who she was and like I had my hands crying reaching out to her she was saying something to me I could not make out what it was she looked happy anaway, so I nenever became a nun, and I enjoyed and lived my life, and yip I still am a virgin because I choose to be, no I am 42 years old I see the real world as it really is, and to think I feel like I made a mistake and not being a nun I feel like I coulde kick myself, I am happy the way I am, but something inside me still feels like I want to be christs bride I feel thats what I need but, alo my family and parents are catholics old school they would not understand what consecrated virginity means, if I could be a bride of christ between me and god I woukd withought no ceremony etc, not that I mean any negatvity stuff in that, I guess ever since I was a teen doing that private ceremony in the house I allways felt like I married Jesus? or am I just a bit eccentric, I mean there is a part in the bible where Jesus put it like this he likes or respects people who do things more in private for there they rewards would be great in heaven not that I mean anything against anyone else but maybe I could marry Jesus in private, well I guess there nothing beats a home wedding after all.

If one is outside of religious life and makes a choice to remain a virgin it can be a virtuous decision but it isn't the best way to serve God. Bringing up a Catholic family is a higher calling. Vatican II gave its approval for this calling this in itself makes it suspect since Vatican II was heretical.

There were virgins in pagan relgion, too.

That passage is about Israel. It is NOT about anyone today.The bride/bridegroom imagery gets carried to unreal extremes.

Her devotion is admirable but there is no such thing as "the order of consecrated virgins" in God's Word. It is another false doctrine made up by the Catholic Church. She references 1 Corinthians 7 and says this is the Biblical teaching on the order of consecrated virgins. Not at all. Paul only says if you are not married, he says nothing about being a virgin, and you are content with that, consider the option of remaining unmarried. If you are not content, then it's best to get married. Sadly, the catholic church has a way of corrupting the Word of God rather than receive His truth. This is just another example.

So needed to hear this. God bless you

Yes once here Made IT too ist IT such a big Deal No its Not AS a vergin AS a mother AS a priest a father WE all are here TT of become holy i wate die a awakening of Saints Not of vergins Not of missionary cuoples i wait For saonts

I am a virgin and I am Jesus' bride, I am the queen because my Husband is the King of the universe.😇 I feel sad for those who are not virgins. They will miss a lot in heaven. Hahaha!

Advise that I found helpful is….”The foundation of a calling is not necessarily eligibility, but profound and unshakable Desire”. I think the best example of this is the movie “Rudy” (anyone that hasn’t seen that; see it!😃 Rudy is by all conventional accounts what one would call ineligible to play college football. One might even be tempted tell him that it’s simply not his “calling”. And most people probably couldn’t disagree, at least not logically. He was short and not very strong or impressive looking, but this did not crush or discourage his wild, albeit seemingly impractical desire. And off course it more than paid off at the end. Another good example is the movie Spider-Man 2, particularly the scene in the restaurant right after Doc Oc captures Mary Jane. Peter is given a profound moment of clarity in that scene about what he most profoundly desire. Great films; I’d recommend them to anyone who wants to put their mind at ease and stop worrying about their calling. Might help ☺️ There are far better things to stress over endlessly 🤪

This may seem strange but I read the Consecrated Virgin Materials and this May shock You. I felt a deeper calling to the Monadtic Way Of Life as a Onlate Of Saint Benedict. Since I could NEVER be a Consecrated Virgin. I can live My Consecration to the Virgin Mary, in a more Monastic Way. I just made My Final Oblation as a Benedictine Oblate. For Saint Johns Abbey In Collegeville.

Awesome to see the nun ROSARYMAXXING. I have broken a couple of rosaries in my day accidentally, but it's bound to happen with daily rosary work. It is a prayer tool afterall!!
