The Sisters of Life Answer MORE of the Internet's Top Questions About Nuns

[@lyskyg3785]

as a non religious person watching this, it’s so lovely to see them so happy! i do find some of the principles odd, but it’s so interesting to learn about them. i’m glad they have found such a deep and rich existence and use it to spread love. sisters remind me of the pure and good foundation this religion was built upon. i’d love to hear more!

[@jackisgangs]

Awesome to hear that there is a part of your heart that see's the value of this! God bless you

[@sandydog426]

I agree! I can't say I understand or necessarily align/agree with everything they said, but honestly, they appear very happy, radiate sincerity, and seem to genuinely be committed to their community and faith. If this is how they navigate the world, well, we all have to find a way that works for us!

[@castrobia01]

The sisters of life are the most joyful and loving ladies I’ve ever “met”. If you liked listening to them in this video, check out their podcast called Let Love. You should start on season one. I’m sure you’ll love it!

[@tanislater6845]

This is certainly one of the best places to learn about our faith! Another good source is the Catechism itself which lays out everything, there's a fantastic podcast called the Catechism in a Year where a priest walks through the whole volume and explains it in an accessible way. I've been learning my faith this way as a new Catholic and the intricacies of the faith are so beautiful!

[@IsabellaKathryn]

I’m fourteen and will be received into the church after a 2 year conversion this Easter Vigil! My parents are atheist and I can’t believe it’s finally happening, but anyways I’m feeling a strong call towards religious life and I’ve been praying a lot about it (about.a year of prayers about my vocation) and I’ve felt very called to it since praying about it, please pray for me if you can that I find my vocation (I know I’m only 14 but I’m still very passionate about it) please pray for my parents that they find Christ, and please pray for me as I finish my conversion on this Easter Viigil!

[@harryfaber]

It will be a privilege and a joy to pray for you. In seeking guidance for a vocation, always remember 'His will, not my will'.

[@mariehernandez5878]

Do not get discouraged if you do not see spiritual progress or an awakening in your parents. It may be a long time coming. It is good they are not stopping your path into the church. The example of your life may very well be a positive for them. With you, I entrust your parents to God's care. I trust Him to guide your beautiful open heart as well❤

[@jellothere]

Hi Isabella. May I ask what you believe will get you to heaven? What does it mean to be accepted into the Catholic Church?

Is there a Muslim equivalent of nuns?

[@drmurphy4043]

@@erinmaree1987 No, there are only ministers/servants (men) in Mosques called 'imam' who announces praying times, leads the prayings and talks to people regarding Islamic questions. There are also women teachers in religious classes for girls, but they only teach and are not considered as religious servants.

I'm an atheist, raised Catholic. I just came here to say that although some people have an idea that sisters/nuns are mean and scary, in my experience, they're more likely to be like these two women: kind and friendly. I'll never understand their path, but I respect it.

[@UCzDwella201]

It’s a selfless path if you take the time to understand just how you took the time justifying being atheist.

[@Jesuslovesyou0316]

[@childofcascadia]

@UCzDwella201 Im an atheist/agnostic (there isnt a god as defined by religion. If there is something greater, its as far beyond me as I am to an ant and it doesnt care about individual life forms.) and I respect all religions, as long as they respect others. People have the right to believe as they choose, and if they feel a calling in service to a deity, more power to them. Religious sisters are some of the coolest chill people Ive ever met. And even though I dont see reality in the same way, I respect their path and choice to live a religious life. I dont understand your comment at all. You arent being judgemental of the other atheist are you?

[@Blanketblankets]

I’m non practicing now, but I grew up with nuns and they’re the most warm and non-judgmental people I’ve ever come across. Of course, there are mean ones as well but most of them are really nice.

[@frederiquecouture3924]

[@thegameczar]

First, I am not a catholic. However, I am a Christ believer and follower. However, due to physical and sexual abuse as a child, I struggle with connecting to God. In many ways, it is quite scary. But God led me to your channel, "by accident". I am encouraged by how you talk about the loving, intimate, and fulfilling relationship you have with Jesus. I pray that through counseling, and seeking God, I too will come to know a relationship like yours. THANK YOU

[@VintageCardinal]

I'm sorry for what you went through as a child, but don't let the evils of one person keep you from Jesus. Turn to Him.

[@denisern55]

We oftentimes get so focused on what went wrong, we can’t see what’s good, kind and merciful. You’re heading the right way by professing your fears and anguish. You are called, we are called to God’s infinite grace, mercy and love. Blessings ❤

[@starseed5476]

My dear sister in Christ, I am pretty much sure that God will use your brokenness and turn it into a beautiful mosaic. Pray and discern what God wants for you and just be willing to say yes to Him, You are not alone in this world you have God and his body , the church. Go and ask guidance from your nearest parish church.

[@JuliusCaesar888]

Please make a part 3 as well! This could be a nice series. Here's another question: How are duties in the convent assigned or rotated? Do the sisters always learn new skills or do they stay specialized? Thanks!!

[@marinattysegura5844]

Well... great question, big answer: 1) It depends on each congregation and it depends if you're talking about sisters or nuns. 2) It also depends on which tasks are we considering. There are everyday tasks (aka chores) that are assigned using weekly schedules. There are "job/work" tasks that are assigned to one sister because of her educational background. For example, back in my community, there was a sister that was an anthropologist. She was the only one (I'm a SLP). Sooo... the duties associated with our relationship with indigenous communities were assigned to her. This is a brief introduction, but the answer is longer.

¡Gracias! I spent a week, on Christmas time, with the Poor Clare Sisters in Puán, Buenos Aires, and... I don't feel like God is calling me to be a nun but I came back home convinced that it IS A BEAUTIFUL LIFE, a wonderful life. and having Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament all the time there, so close, is amazing, it gives a lot of peace. In addition to the silence of the place, which also does good to the soul. God Bless from Argentina. ❤

When I was little I used to get kind of star-struck excited to see one in person, since they are not very common in the U.S. As I got older it was nice to realize that they feel human emotions too and they come from a place of wisdom. I couldn't become a nun, but it is inspiring how they devote themselves to Jesus and lead by example. ❤

I'm not catholic anymore cause I always struggled to have faith even when I tried. And I really tried, but maybe for the wrong reasons. My mom, a very religious woman, made me feel like I was always wrong and inadequate for struggling with connecting with God. She didn't understand how i saw the world and when I tried to explain the answer was something like: try harder otherwise you are not going to heaven. Unfortunately, I'm unable to. There things I liked about the church (The community, the food in the canteen 😅and the sisters + older nuns). They were always nice and calm with me.

Do you have hats, gloves, coats, that resemble things seen at department stores?
