Breaking Silence: Inside the closed world of Carmelite Nuns

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

And where we are engaged in the most epic cross generational spiritual battles at any point in recorded history, these Sisters are the bravest spiritual foot soldiers in this eternal spiritual battle against the far more powerful forces of the greatest evil in our age, something that I sensed very deeply during Covid in 2020, where not only did I realise that evil was a very real and tangible force in our world, I also realised that evil is in total control of our world - via their prayers, these Sisters are wielding the most powerful spiritual weapons, such as the Rosary in Latin, which I myself pray daily

@marilynwillett804 Well they are not missionaries, they are nuns. Some nuns are also missionaries, and not all missionaries are nuns or monks. Yes, I wrote munks and not priests, because priests basically have a normal lifestyle. Monastic life is for a spiritual community and the opportunity for prayer and contemplation. Strong words coming from a person with a wifi, phone/computer and who is sitting there quite so cushy and comfortable. Why don't you live the life you demand of these women. If anybody has it "easy" in a hierarchy, you top that list over these nuns any day of the week.

[@redneckgirl3326]

Some do. Hopefully they are kinder these days than those who abused children.

[@CIST3]

@@andrenajones767 The bible alone (Sola Scriptura) is itself unbiblical. Jesus is the only Savior, but we are also supposed to participate in the work of salvation and we do that through proclaiming the Gospel and praying for and attending to the needs of others. Elijah lived as a hermit and Jesus described him as "The greatest born of a woman." "I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” (Luke 7:28) Many of the Old Testament prophets would take 40 day fasts in the desert to focus on God and Jesus did it as well. This religious have dedicated their lives to Jesus and for humanity. Take it to prayer and perhaps the Holy Spirit will enlighten you.

[@CIST3]

@@andrenajones767 Jesus started the Church when he chose the 12 Apostles. They were entrusted with handing down the teachings of Jesus Christ. That is the origin of the Christian religion and Jesus himself practiced religion (Judaism) faithfully his entire life, so be careful of your "man made" criticism. Faith is a free gift given by God, but religion is what is practiced by those who accept the faith being offered. Observing the Sabbath and being disconnected from a community was never part of the plan.

There's also a true spark of joy in them; their very smiles are different, as if deeper and truer than the smiles of most of the people we come across in our daily lives.

Maybe you should go on a retreat some time. You might really love it. I was invited to go on a silent retreat once and was somewhat hesitant because, I've always been a chatty. I went and it was such a powerful experience. It was great to shed technology and all the other distractions of life and just be open to the experience. When I left, I felt deeply quenched in my soul. I was so relaxed and I knew the weekend had done me a world of good. For many years I went twice a year. My work schedule now, makes it a little more challenging to go, but I've been really desiring that retreat again.

[@timmellin2815]

You can feel it again, by faith, when you trust God by faith.....the finished work of the atonement when you believe, can give you what the Bible calls..."the peace that passes human understanding..." Maybe you're looking for something that's in your mind a bit big to find; but start by trusting God in the little things, giving thanks, maybe putting a value on your meals and giving thanks.....thanking God for your hunger and being grateful when it's satisfied. Those are all things that Paul called..."knowing this, reckoning this..." he was saying be mindufl and focus. Step out from your feelings and trust God, when you can. Feelings of peace are nice when they are there, but exercise faith even when they're not there, if you can. And, you can.

[@macjeffff]

You can. I found a priest who exuded great joy, and I asked to speak with him. I poured out my heart. He said: “You’ve made your confession,” and gave me absolution. He said, “Welcome home!” I asked, what should I do?” He said, “Come back to the sacraments.” Since then I’ve been back to the church, and it’s all new for me…endlessly deep and consoling.

I am not a nun or a Catholic. I am a Jewish man and about 14 years ago was assigned a patient living in a Carmalite Nunnary. I went to the address, rang the bell, was let in and told to wait. A nun came to collect me. She took me up stairs to see the patient, an elderly, sick nun. I did what I had to do and was seen out by the other nun. I went back to care for this patient a few more times and it was interesting. The nun saw my Star of David around my neck. I told her I was Jewish and Israeli. She told me she had lived in a Carmalite house for nuns un Jerusalem and Haifa, where their sect was started. I didn't know this. She showed me all around their home, explained things to me and allowed me to ask questions too, which I did. I am one of few men, yet alone Jewish men, who has ever seen the inside of thier home and provided an education in their religion and daily life. Amazing!!!

[@pepehaydn7039]

Partially true. Doctors have been always admitted in carmelite monasteries. Some facts about this holy order: - they are the true descendants of the ancient prophets of Mount Carmel and holy Prophet Elijah, read your Bible, - saint Theresia of Ávila had a jew. grandfather and delicious anecdotes with other converts because cities Like Segovia and Toledo had very Mixed populations at that time. Are You boasting of being a jew? Do Not make US laught. There Are more true carnal descendants of Abraham in Spain that in modern Israel! Read history. True descendants according to flesh that avails nothing and according to FAITH in the Lord Jesus the Christ. - Edith Stein, another amazing carmelite nun and Saint was 100% jew. My parish in Madrid is named and dedicated to her. To sin up: do you want to be a true Israelite, Not according to Passwort but according to the glory of the Lord: believe and be baptized.

Whenever I visit the monastery, it rejuvenates my soul, knowing that the sisters are helping me in my prayers for my salvation and that of the whole world. Of course, attending mass in any Catholic Church gives me the same feeling, but, it is a bit different when going to a monastery and see the kind sisters going-on with their activities and having conversations with them, buying their home-made products, seeing them happy in isolation from worldly ways… Crude jokes were made by people on the outside about the priests and nuns, but, I will have to remind these people, that there are also very good ones.

I love whenever I see nuns, they bring me such joy!

I feel blessed to have been mentored and taught by compassionate Carmelite nuns in my growing up years. Thank you for your love and care.

Praying for you today sisters 🙏 I’ve always wanted to be a Carmelite Nun but God had another plan for me. I’m now blessed with 5 kiddos and a wonderful husband but connect with my Carmel heart often. Love you ladies. May Christ warm your hearts today ❤️

[@karenmonson9893]

To be a nun you have to be a very disciplined and dedicated person. I wouldn't be able to do this because I'm to much of a free spirit. I have alot of respect for the women who are able to do this. God Bless You All!🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing this with us.💞 It is just as well that there is no TV, cell phones, internet-- the sisters are not corrupted with worldly junk.

The statement..." Here is where i can be myself.." THAT is such a huge gift. Don't we all seek to be in a place and with people where we can be ourselves?

[@reginamauro9299]

This is a wonderful video. While I certainly appreciate very much their intercessory prayer...I cannot understand how they cannot physically have contact with their families. A friend of mine was a former Carmelite nun..her father was very ill and she was prevented from seeing him ...and he died shortly thereafter. I was my mom's caregiver for many years and it was particularly wonderful to be with her during her last 6 months into God's loving arms into heavenly glory. I think it would be a comfort for a dying parent To have their child by their side. Certainly this would have been a loving example of Jesus love had she been with her father. And at times like this...the love of Jesus would have been shown to her dad and eased his transition into glory. This is what I don't understand About the Carmelites.

[@kevinerose]

I'm not a Catholic but I think the idea is the teaching that you love God more than family. There is a difficult verse in the Bible that if you don't hate your family, then you are not worthy to follow. This doesn't mean to actually hate them but to put that in comparison to God. Also, a follower asked Jesus for time to bury his father and Jesus said to let the dead bury the dead. Your friend will see her parents again in glory. It is believed that this life is very short and we are promised the hope of a better future in glory where there will be much time to be together. Her father likely understood all these things and knew she was thinking and praying for him. It is a difficult saying. Not many can accept or able to see to the future. Especially if we are thinking of pain of a loved one and comforting them at a difficult time.

[@leslie3933]

@@kevineroseI just don’t think God’s call requires this. Not the God I know.

[@CIST3]

@@leslie3933 The God "you know" is a god of your own making. Scripture is very clear that God desires to be the highest priority in all of our lives. “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it." (Matthew 10:36-39) and "If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)

[@frost-iHs]

@@leslie3933 God doesn't require it. It's an extraordinary sacrifice, voluntarily made for love of God. "Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better." 1 Corinthians 7:38 (DRB)

I agree with you.

[@GiGi-js7mv]

Being a biological Catholic (Catholic before I was even born), I grew up knowing about the Carmelite Nuns. I didn't fully understand as a kid, only what my mum told me and then finding out as I came into adulthood through my own research. I've come to understand that not all Priests and Nuns are bad and cruel - there are genuine people who take up the mantle because they believe in a higher purpose - whilst there are a few who taint the vocation. And I know this because my uncle is a priest and 1 of the good 1s - and have met plenty of good priests and Nuns throughout my life. They are prayer Warriors, and that creates an energy that amplifies out into the world and to the universe. I know firsthand the power of their prayers, my mum was a prayer warrior, as am I and I've taught my grandchildren the power of positive prayer. My uncle always told me just because men and women dedicate their lives to God, they are still human and still experience feelings, struggle with emotions, have dreams aspirations and desires - those are human instincts that don't switch off - but they are worked through every day every year for the rest of their lives. Thank you for what you do sisters 🙏🏾😑💜

[@GiGi-js7mv]

The order itself might be corrupt, but there are genuine good decent human beings who believe in their calling, and that shouldn't be diminished.

[@nonine5304]

Im exseminarian. I never blame priests or nuns. I know their hardships. There are few bads... but i never give attention to bads... rather look at the good and try hard to work for the church and christianity. 🙏

Is biological Catholic an actual thing or are you being cheeky? I cannot tell.

Great doc. I think the one younger nun kind of wants to leave. Hopefully she'll make whatever choice is best for her before life's passed her.

Awesome. Keep it up dear nuns and novices! 👍 God bless you all. 🙏

[@thehangmansdaughter1120]

I used to ride my bike past the Carmelite's place every day on my way to school. I always wondered exactly what went on back there. As I got older I wondered if maybe that was the place for me. Turns out it wasn't. I married and had children. I can't imagine how strong these women must be to turn away from that gift of family and children.
