As a former attorney, I totally get the sister who left it to go into the monastery. Been there, done that says it all. The things of the world which I formerly put a lot of effort trying to obtain no longer mean anything to me. Being quiet, studying and praying are more important now. Honestly, I envy those men and women who opted for a life in the monastery rather than in the world. They chose the best part.

PRAY FOR MY SON WHO SUFFERS FROM EPILEPSY. Thank You

The heart beat of the church. Where would we be without the prayers of our beloved sisters?

What peace and inner joy these nuns exude. I live close to Assisi and love going to the quiet cloister of San Damiano where Santa Chiara was. It is incredible to realize how one person can change so many souls all over the world by reflecting God's love. Blessings from Assisi.🙏🙏

In my 30's I had great privilege to live in a rooming shared house run and owned by nuns. I am not Catholic, but I loved their lifestyle that I too pray the Hours and Rosary. I studied computer science when I was young and so I like the quiet prayer life. Thank you for sharing.🌟🌸🌟

Watching the sisters care for Sister Natalie reminds me of caring now for my grandmother with dementia. While my grandmother is not yet confined to her bed, my mom, brother, father and I care for her full time. We promised her we would never put her in a nursing home. She is the woman that instilled my faith in me and even at almost 92 and advancing dementia, she never fails to say her Rosaries. It is so discouraging to see so many that can care for their loved ones to put them in nursing homes because its inconvenient. Is it hard to be a caretaker? Heck yes it is. Little sleep, loads of laundry, etc. But its worth every moment.

My heart is more at peace because I spent this time with these lovely ladies. Thank you, friends.

People don't realize that nuns started a lot of health services and education we have today. Hundreds of years ago they started offering free education to children who couldn't afford it and they first started hospitals. Yes, some of their procedures would seem awful today but that was when medicine and healthcare first began and people were still learning.

The beauty in the lives of these sisters shows in their smiles, their demeanour, the way they speak, the way they live, the way they think and that inner joy for life that is just so pure and beautiful. I’ve watched many documentaries about different convents and the sisters everywhere have this inner glow and peace that just resonates. It’s that calm that Christ has gifted them . I hope to get there too. ❤️🥰✝️

Still hearing the silent whisper calling me to this vocation...maybe one day

Hello sisters, that was lovely, it opened my eyes to life in an enclosed community. I must remember to pray for you all. I have recently been given a Rosary booklet to pray for Vocations to the Prieshood and Religouse Life. I married into a Catholic Family as a non attendee protestant. After attending Mass with my new family for a number of years and after the birth of two children, I was received into the Catholic faith in 1977. I can truly say my faith helped me a lot with my husbands illness and passing in 2017. Also through the present Covid Pandemic. Last May I was unexpectedly gifted with a six and half year old little Terrier, he is such good company and gets me out walking twice a day. I'll be celebrating my 75th birthday next month but feel years younger. God Bless you all. From UK.

Loving the Jewish couple at 16:45. Very drawn to this and other deeply religious people - and I'm Jewish too!

I love you sisters of Saint Clare your prayers are so powerful and favored by God please continue to pray for us. The world needs your prayers sisters 🙏😇

Lovely. The part I liked best is how they take turns caring for the former Abbess. That is real family!

Lovely and charming. I loved the story about the little girl calling the sister , “Sister Act” . I wondered if that dear Sister knew that there was a movie called “Sister Act” made years ago starring Whoopie Goldberg as a “Nun” in hiding in a nunnery? It was a darling & fun movie that most people on the ‘outside’ have watched but perhaps that sweet sister had never heard of it? Very sweet . Thank you .

I really enjoyed hearing the Sisters path to this life. Insightful! Bless you all!

What a beautiful life, to be in joyful service.

Delightful! One of the best videos I've seen that introduces people to the cloistered life. Thanks very much. These are women I'd like to know. The music, by the way, is exceptional!

Thank you sisters, you are an inspiration to all of us.

Many years ago the younger Sister's would care for the older ones. Where are the younger ones today? The retirement benefits are out of this world. I pray for these Sisters. God bless them always. Best wishes.

Life is about thinking and praying. Thank you for sharing.

I love this!

Oh, I wish I had chosen this life in my 40s or 50s!

"Young people...people in their 30s, 40..." May the Almighty bless you and keep you Sister, from a 48 year young person.

This touched my heart! What beautiful devotion to God and community. Thank you, Sisters for your prayers for us all. We In return pray for you. You all have beautiful hearts. ❤️🙏🌹

Every human being has a cross to secretly carry. Thanks to sisters like these our lives are enriched and helped beyond measure

good to hear that to all of you- very refreshing

Hope you get More women joining your community Continued Grace!!

I’ve always wanted to be a nun. But was never introduced to the options or opportunities. Now at 64 I would still love to be a nun but do not know which orders would take me.

God be with us all and sisters your prayers are forever needed by the world.

I have the highest respect and admiration for our Catholic beloved nuns. Nuns do great job as school teachers, the best teachers .

Thank you for this, I’m having a dark day but now it’s brighter.

God bless you amen 🙏

What beautiful documentary!

I love hearing these beautiful stories ❤️

From Misión Cruz Hermitage in Somerset, Texas. Blessings

What a great video, so well done and the heart sharing a deep gift. One of God's many "confirmations" today. Thank you!

Thank you so much for posting this! God is so good!

Thank you sisters for the blessing we all receive from God. I pray for goodness and Peace for the whole world. Amen.

Beautifully done. So very interesting.

Sisters thank you for all your good works. You honor God, Jesus and Mother Mary. ✝️ from Thailand

I have Plazma Cytoma and Multiple Myeloma and I would appreciate being on the prayer list.

It is wonderful to me to see Nuns out and about. I always think how admirable their dedication and conviction is to God. I've found them to always be happy to engage and have a good sense of humor. I was in Walmart and let an expletive slip out from frustration over not finding my product. I was looking on a low shelf and saw a swish of black go past me. I knew it had to be a nun even though Ive only seen a couple out in public on rare occasions. Seconds later a nun came around the corner. Lol! I laughed and told her what had just happened and then she passed by. I looked to the ceiling and with hands in prayer said, ok I get it. We both laughed so hard. Precious and perfect timing. -)

My heart goes out to you all, wonderful in God's ways, great blessing to you all.

wonderful thanks. Blessings from New Zealand

Thank you for the information I have learned alot. Saint Clare is one of my favorite saints. Sisters please pray for my family 🙏🏽 thank you 😍

M heart has never felt such love. Thank you for your time God Bless you.

I absolutely love this video. God bless these women. I think it looks like a wonderful life. Praise God

Peace and All Good!

RIP Sister Natalie ♥️♥️♥️

Just beautiful❤️

Nice to see all of you again.

Wonderful

I grew up in Australia .my parents emigrated from Croatia Australia in 1959 ..I was educated in Catholics school by nuns..loved them all! Needless to say I wanted to be a nun, however, that was not to be..I opted to return to Croatia ( the then Yugoslavia) in 1976..had a large family..six of each gender..lived well ( still do) BUT I often ask myself did I make the right choice?..you see, just because you find yourself in a so-called life-story does NOT mean you made the RIGHT choice..it's the result of your FREE-WILL which, in the majority of cases, is mostly a choice you make in a moment of emotional frenzy..so, it is usually NOT the right, nor wise, choice..well there it is..perhaps my first inkling would have been a much wiser choice.thank you for this exceptional video..blessings!

Deeply touched.

Really good!

God bless you Sisters.

Thank you sisters for sharing your stories.

🧡💛❤❤🙏❤❤💛🧡 this would be my dream x

This was very interesting. For a while I used to think that a monastery was a little bit like a prison only with nice people. Wait… I had to edit this. The one gal already had two sons and a relationship. I thought they couldn’t ever be married. At least that’s what I learned from The Sound of Music, Maria got married eventually because she didn’t do all her vows. Or something like that. So sorry I am not Catholic.🧐

God Bless my dears ❤️❤️🌈😘☀️❤️🌹

A place of contentment and joy.

Wonderful life of you all.lord Jesus Christ bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌅🌄🌈🌈🌈🌠🌠🌠⭐⭐⭐⭐

Please pray for my partner and myself that we get òff drugs ❤❤

Oh thank you

Lovely

God bless you more

Ok I’m putting this out there. I have always wanted to be a nun. I’m wondering if I can get a call to discuss my vocational options.

i am greatful

Sant Clara pray for my family for matthews eyes he need prayers to improov eye side tks pray for all preasts Holy spirit l bless You tks

i super love ; that story very much too nun's

Christmas Eve. Perfect.

A nice video.

God hear your prayers sisters. He can feel your pain. GOD is saying to you today, " Trust Me. I will fix what is Broken. Rest in me."

It is good to have completed training in order to be free for the process of discernment. To be able to enter and to have experienced life, not to have to stay for fear of not having a basis for an independent life. To be able to stay and leave during the probationary period in freedom and out of love alone. Good spiritual guidance during this time of waiting and learning can help you not to lose sight of Christ. Visits can help to learn about different communities, or to ramain in contact with the one...

Thank You Jesus for coming into our lives

Dr Zachary Batcho dying alone in San be Diego CA he need liver transplant. No drug use just very ill . . That penance is beautiful. Blood sister disappointed me. Anyone be who be enters a monastery convent is Blessed beyond words

🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓💐💐💐

Good

When I was 12 I seen a nun and wanted so badly to be a nun too because I loved Jesus and He was the only one whom ever loved me. (Nevermind that I wasn't even a Catholic). Now as an adult, I sometimes still want to be a nun, but I'm still not Catholic and I've sinned too much in my life to ever hope to be permitted... and I think I'm too old now to start the process 😫😭

Do you become a nun the same way that Mother Angelica became a nun? And do you get a new name?

I love this how can I be part of it...

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

God doe’s listen to prayer.

Of course nuns go out lol. Even the the cloistered nuns who live a few suberbs over from me go out i see them out doing their groceries going to the dr etc.

Where is your office

Its sad that some parents have such objections to a Religious Vocation, some even cutting ties with a child.
