[@Kismetdubz]

The happiness and contentment on the faces of these women is inspirational.

[@mariaguitron6549]

Am proud to be a member of the same Church as these beautiful Sisters!

[@Jeremiah17v9]

***** Hi. I note that you are from Georgia? I have a visiting friend from just outside Atlanta who will be starting RCIA here this evening!

[@Jesusfreak3378]

I was blessed when she said that we do not always know the answers to our prayers, but it is the faith that keeps us praying..... God Bless

[@lorraineh6460]

Wonderful! What lovely cloistered nuns. My thanks to each and every one of them for all their prayers.

[@acceptingWhatIS]

when i was a child i was sexually abused by men who hated and i firmly believed that the prayers of the nuns were keeping me alive and i would make it through because you nuns where praying for the likes of me - thank you for your work i felt it

[@elviradonaghy5422]

You are always in our prayers, may the Sacred Heart of Jesus give you joy and peace knowing that you will be with Him someday, and Blessed Mother Mary who holds you deep in her heart with the greatest of love for you. You are a special Child of God. God bless you!

[@marilynkennedy8236]

How lovely to hear one of the nuns say she saw the Beatles before they were famous at the Cavern. This is how nuns should be. When they were singing Happy Birthday I could have wept. So different from how nuns are portrayed in films such as The Magdalene Sisters and Philomena. Which is nearer the real truth? It is so confusing. M Kennedy.

[@marieadams1560]

My aunt was a carmelite nun at this convention in the late fifties early sixties. loved going to visit her although we only saw her for two half hour periods when we did visit twice a year. We would go to mass and hear the nuns singing , it was magical. 💖

[@julieom1833]

Marie Adams that sounds amazing , i would love to see that ❤️

[@kesmarn]

I love their voices. Even when they were singing "Happy Birthday," it sounded angelic. Not one voice off pitch that I could hear, and lots of love in the singing.

[@KR-ms6km]

Marie Adams, didn´t you have the chance to visit her later anymore, when there were more possibilities to share time with the sisters? Greetings from Germany

[@catherinenunan3584]

I loved the simplicity of what Sr. Raphael said about life...we are planted in a place like a flower and all we have to do is to bloom.

[@LittleWaterLily19]

“We are planted in a place like a flower and all we have to do is to bloom”, wow, beautiful way to put it

[@jesussaves6625]

That really touched me as well. If we're following God's calling, we should be able to have faith and rest in His decision.

[@agneskorondi5551]

"Bloom"for what? Go do some physical work !

[@catwmn1]

These sisters are so beautiful inside and out! They are so blessed!

[@nancybroertjes5160]

Peggy Lindenthaler nuns are also people. There was only one perfect person ever born and they hung him on a cross.

[@thelordhearsthecryofthepoo1202]

Nancy Broertjes No need for such a miserable and judgemental comment, leave people be.

[@tcgarrido2]

Thank you for your prayers. You are the hidden treasures of the Catholic Church.

[@georgefernando100]

I am very Happy seeing this documentary. May the God of Love surround you with his love. God Bless you sisters. Somehow I am very cherished seeing carmelite sisters.

[@herminiasantos9981]

What a joy to watch n listen to these Carmelite nuns.Indeed the love of God is very much reflected in them! Thanks for praying for us in the world.

[@bat0811]

What a beautiful documentary. Thank you.

[@johnroberts262]

I think placing videos on KZbin gives lots of people lots of joy. Thanks to all the Sisters, God bless you.

[@Jacquiandteddy]

I used to visit regularly years ago. It's lovely to see some familiar faces in the video. They always were such down to earth and kindly people.

[@littlebird8837]

Thank you for your prayers 🕊💓

[@franciscavarpit6554]

Amen to that🙏

[@rhonaburns7473]

How lovely to see "behind the walls" of the monastery. I know it well from the outside as I come from Kirkcaldy and my mother's family from Dysart. I often walked by there down to the harbour or sat with my Gran and her friends on the green opposite the house. I remember being fascinated as a girl by the house as my Gran had actually worked there as as nursery maid for the family who owned it before it was a convent. It brings back many happy memories for me.

[@orth82]

Sister Raphael is adorable!

[@wendyhawken4208]

Love them all thank you Jesus

[@rileymtn]

Your documentary is very well done. I spend time at the Carmelite in Concord, NH, USA. Beautiful how they share a similar sense of humor and laughter. Great Ladies. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

[@franciscavarpit6554]

❤ the beautiful artistic drawings Sr, Raphael. Appreciate all your prayers sisters🙏🙂❤️

I'm reading every comments down here. All are writing so good about sisters.. I wish I could be part of them.. Sisters are really generous and full of compassion.. Love from India..

Very beautiful. Please pray for us sisters. To be persevering and to love God more. God bless. Greetings from the Philippines.

[@izabella101975]

I love to see the contentment in their faces..They looked happy serving God. God bless you all sisters.

[@lincolncity9]

So nice that nobody has left any anti Catholic comments! Usually some people leave disgusting comments on films of enclosed religious. Thank you dear sisters for praying for us!

[@zephyr056]

+lincolncity9 The person who uploaded this video probably deleted the comments that told what some Catholic nuns are really like.

[@edwardedwindevasahayam8536]

Anti Catholic comments are not against such noble services of catholics. There is no doubt that Catholics are Christians. Now these sisters praying day & night for others is superb & always respected. The anti catholic comments are against anti biblical or anti christian activities. I thank these sisters for their great dedication.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

Don’t encourage them. There isn’t an intelligence test, a grammar check, or any kind of mental evaluation required of anyone on the Internet, so you have lots of troubled or immature individuals who think trashing other people makes them powerful. Respect doesn’t mean you have to agree with others beliefs, to have respect is to keep your negative ideas unspoken.

[@Flap-cs5ku]

Yes sun, protestantism is that satanic death cult.

[@hjm5885]

@sunshineuk1965 Are you Protesting again?

[@gloriagonzales3575]

all respect they have to be a very special person to be a nun

[@doonie]

That left me smiling, thank you. :-)

very special video i am trying to imitate our lord in the secular world and the nuns give me real hope i have recently heard about 3rd orders but my family life is so busy pray along and listen to vespers and compline the nuns have sent many blessings from god im sure thankyou

[@dvora072096]

Have shared this with Carmelites far and wide, we're praying that you're on the short list... and that God moves the hearts of the audience and jury members... so that you may win the Palme-Dewar... why not?

[@donatio1]

They live a life way more valuable and fulfilling than us 😣

[@fmorant2222]

I watched this video again and I spied Sr Agnes and sister Teresa who was the only sister. who wore the Traditional habit - all the other sister discarded part of. it. I know that Carmel pretty well as I used to stay there an a few occasions.

[@charlesmichael9188]

I watch every You Tube video on nuns. THey are the TRUE foundation of the Church....and the CHurch as a whole has ignored and taken advantage of them. God bless them all.

[@geoffwright1551]

The documentary is interesting as I saw the current nuns in a different light. In 1956 I was two years old and on a croft in Aberdeenshire as a young child. A woman took me in a car to Aberdeen where I met my 'mum' who was from Leeds. We were transported to Leeds by sea on a fishing boat I remember landing at Scarborough and meeting my 'dad' there. However we got off the boat somewhere and all I can remember is a harbour, we were met by a woman and went on the road to the left past some buildings then up a hil. Half way up the hill on the right there was a fence with a gap in it and we went through it. We followed a path for a short while and came to a building on the left. We met a nun and were allowed to stay there for the night. We entered by a rear entrance, through a large hall, turned right on a corridor. There were rooms on the right and we were told to be quiet as there was people sleeping in the rooms. We caried on and on the left there was like a room with a settee which my 'mum slept on whilst I was sat in a pus chair. The next day we went to an entrance hallway where a nun gave mym mum a cup of tea and I got a drink and a biscuit but we never saw anyone else. There was a table there and a large Mary figurine in blue. We left by the front door, through a gate and turned left past some cottages and then down to the harbour. I have never ever known where that place was and I have spent 58 years searching for it as I was two year old I had no idea where I was although when I was 7 I was told I had come from Scotland. Finding out my mum's auntie came from Thornton in Fife narrowed it down but even though I've lived in Scotland now since 2006 and have looked for the place I only found it and realised it was Dysart Monastery by looking at Google maps and looking for the building near a small harbourup and down the coast until I eventually found it. To this day I have no idea who I am as I have a birth certificate issued by the Mount Carmel convent that was in Bramley, Leeds and closed in 1961 that was run by the carmelite nuns as midwives in the period when I was born. Catholic Care in Leeds deny Mount Carmel ever existed even though I have two birth certificates for the place. I wonder what the monastery was used for in the 1950's when I passed through was it used as a stopping off point for babies and young children being taken illegally from Aberdeenshire to Leeds and from other parts of Aberdeenshire to give to couples in Kirkcaldy. It seems that none of the nuns are old enough to remember this period sadly bnut it is the same period when children were being given away to convents and monasteries in Australia but the babies of Scotland given away to people in Leeds is still much covered up by the Police in Leeds and in Aberdeenshire as they had some involvement in it unbelieveably but then it was something authorised by the UK goverment much covered up until just a few years ago and everyone denies there are any records of the children given away between Scotland and Leeds. If there is a God then he will one day tell me who I am but Im now 60 and he hasn't told me yet sadly..

[@dutchgables]

Dear Geoff, I will be a "sister" to you and pray for you. God exists and He loves you. We will certainly know and understand all, when we come into His presence after our time on earth is over, and our lives will be changed, not taken away. At Baptism we became His adopted children, and Jesus gave us His Mother Mary to us from the Cross, John the Beloved standing in for us. She is truly your Mother in Heaven. Then, as the same John tells us in the last Book of the Bible, all tears will be wiped away. Let us pray with the blind man in the Gospel: "Lord, that I may see!' And with another man Jesus healed: "Lord, I believe. Help Thou my unbelief; O Lord, increase my faith."

[@rsmyth75]

Geoff Wright. just be grateful your birth mother didn't abort you. as is the case today back then the whole society placed great shame on any girl who got pregnant out of wedlock so it was a mercy for them to keep it secret.

[@beatazahorska5759]

Amen Merci

[@TakeUpYourCross]

Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae: Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens: O pia: O dulcis Virgo Maria. ENGLISH: Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley, of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

[@merlizaserna]

Peace! Please, pray for the Palestinian victims of wars. Please also include that all children's virginity physical and spiritual be forever protected worldwide. Please PERSEVERE in your vocation and please have your vocation campaign that many will become a nun to make reparations and sacrifices for the sins of the world.

Beautiful women... Thanks for your prayers ♥️🦘

[@briandelaney9710]

When I was growing up, my family was very close to the nuns at the local Carmel. My mom would for religious guidance to the Prioress of the monastery for 50 years. We always went to Masses and novenas there and going to talk to the nuns My sister and her bff would cycle to the monastery and bring homemade pies for the nuns to enjoy

[@MarkJohnson-dr4ws]

God may call each of us, but that doesn't mean that what we choose is the fulfilment of that call. Even being married, etc, can be a refusal to respond in truth to that call. We are each called to love and serve God. Most don't. Most seek self-love and service.

So Beautiful 💞

[@tortellani]

They are beautiful people. And, yes, prayer is an essential part of our lives as Christians, my only concern is that Jesus did not live a life hidden away. He was out with the people - teaching, serving, etc. He clearly directs us to Go out and make Disciples of all Nations as followers. I am not criticizing this life they have chosen, I am just confused by it and wonder if it's the right thing to be doing for the Lost.

[@somaadhikari5004]

Sisters please pray for me....so that my special wish be fulfilled....Jesus is there to hear me....you all help me to fulfill my wish...please pray for me
