May, our ' Lady " Remain with you always you are Truly "Blessed ".

How about the people who aren't Catholic. Can they be nuns to.

@@candacecassidy7443 Not in the Catholic faith .

What do you mean by "seeing the Faith returning"? It's never left us! And these sisters are not in union with the Church and the Holy Father so they have actually left the Catholic Church.

@@eneal2056 Francis is not pope because he has preached heresies. It is church teaching, that if a pope was ever to fall into heresy, he would automatically fall from the throne and the seat would be vacant. Such is the case with Francis.

So beautiful. Brings back my happiest days spent in convent school

Feeling blessed by watching on it. Hello, sister Maria Goretti.☺️

Why would people hate this video? If this is her choice, then that is the path she should take. Not a Catholic, went to Catholic school mind you, mixed experience to say the least, both good and bad but isn't that the case in all schools? All the best Sister. ❤️

Judy G. ...absolutely!

@@sorchawolffe3730 Exactly. I'm an Anglican, but my parents independently converted to Catholicism, and my mum was very devout. Also, I've always enjoyed Nun related books/movies/TV programmes etc. I couldn't do what Sister has chosen to do, even if I were a Catholic, but I fully respect her choice and I admire her dedication. :-)

@Judy G. If you're looking this out you must have some interest in the Sisterhood .I don't see why it makes you nutty .

Nuns are regarded as the Brides of Christ. That's their wedding day. :-)

It came in at the same time as white wedding dresses for the other brides did, in the mid 1800s. There is a record of St Clare going to St Francis to become a nun in her best finery and he cut her hair. This was about the year 1200. Prior to that, consecrated virgins have worn veils since the very earliest days of the Church. There are references to the veil of virgins in the first century. The consecration of virgins has always carried strong bridal significance. Strangely enough, brides didn't wear veils on their wedding day until about the same time as white wedding dresses came into vogue. This is a tradition they have taken from nuns.

What?

@Misty Uren Then you should pray all the more if you can.

Congregation of Mater Dei (Mother of God). The mother house is in Persia, Iowa

Thanks 👍!

Nope. Rings are specially made only for the Sisters. Monks and priests cannot wear rings. bishops and popes wear rings.

They can. Depending on their rules

The profession of male religious is not bridal in character as the profession of female religious is. The Church still sees men and women as different. While male religious are brides of Christ, as is the whole Church, there are few men who consider themselves in those terms. Hence, nuns wear rings and monks don't. There may be the extremely unusual exception to the rule, but it is very, very, very uncommon for monks to wear rings.

CMD, the Congregation of the Mother of God. They are partners with the CMRI, the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen.

The order is CMD, not CMRI.

Lisa Saunders to my understanding yet they keep it short

The Nuns at my high school had very short hair, not all wore a veil. I believe members of the Church who were hairdressers cut it for them.

They can cut their hair so that the veil can fit on the head

We cut out hair to an inch or two. Any longer than that and it was not only uncomfortable under the veil, it made the veil sit wrong, and it took too long to dry after washing. Nuns don't have a spare 10 minutes in their week to waste on hair, hence they keep it very short.

vanity

seamarina1013 They cut the hair as a sign of turning away from the adornments of the world and the body. It’s a symbolic turning away from the person she was before and clothing herself instead in Christ Jesus. In the time of Sts. Francis and Clare, Francis cut Clair’s long beautiful hair when she ran away from her family and home to devote herself to God.

Are they allowed to grow it back? Or does it always have to stay short

seamarina1013 They can grow it back but I think most keep it short just because it’s more convenient and comfortable under the habit.

Amen.

Patsy Hairston Quite the contrary. The groom is Jesus Christ and His Church. Her final vows will be to Him. She is formally entering the novitiate which is the time of discernment, study and prayer after which she and the order will either discern that she has a vocation and take final vows (as marriage) or exit the order if she and/or the order discern that she does not have a true vocation. That ceremony will be her wedding and final.

@@marilan8154 👏👏👏

@Judy G. It is taught that if a Pope were ever to fall into heresy, he would automatically fall from the throne and the seat would become vacant. Such is the case with Francis. He has repeatedly preached heresies.
