Prayer is never a waste of time

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

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

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

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

Sisters. Thank you for your time with us pray for us

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. 💖

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

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

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

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.

Sister Raphael is adorable!

Thank you for your prayers 🕊💓

What a beautiful documentary. Thank you.

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

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.

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.

"We are planted in a place and all that we have to do is to bloom."

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.

The Nuns are the Backbone of the Church,

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

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.

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

God is a God of surprises! Thank you sisters.... Your prayers are heard....

I was a nun at Tyburn and am saving to go back. Please pray for me

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!

Always a joy going to this monastery.

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..

What beautiful people

May the Lord bless them with increasing vocations. God bless.

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

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.

A TRUE SPIRITUAL SISTERHOOD!🇻🇦💒

That left me smiling, thank you. :-)

So nice to see these golden individuals

I've stayed in the guest quarters when visiting the Carmel in Dysart.. I've known them for over, 25years..

May God continue to bless you

Beautiful people and my love and wishes to each of them. Tim Marshall

Wonderful! Thank you, sisters!

Beautifully done. Proof that happiness is possible!

Thankyou Sisters for your prayers 🙏 💓 💛 ❤

May the Lord bless you all.

I was with the sisters a few weeks ago and they showed me your film, I really enjoyed it! Well done and all the best with future films.

Well done, really like this documentary - it reminds me of my friends at the Dysart Carmel and the good work they do.

Thank you for this lovely visit🥰🥰🥰🙏

Prayer is importante in our lives

Loved this

So beautiful...

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

best wishes to you all. brides of Christ. sisters of God. Happy Easter when it comes.

I love this film and I'm so thankful you all placed this on KZfaq. God bless you

From Misión Cruz Hermitage in Somerset, Texas. Blessings to all viewers.

Beautiful! Lovely people! Thank God for them!

Hallelujah

I love these sweet nuns everyone of them ,,they are amazing and this made my day

Prayer is NOT a waste of time in any faith.

Amazing way to live. Leaving friends and family to live with a group of strangers til the end. So brave.

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.

Beautiful 😊

Beautiful women... Thanks for your prayers ♥️🦘

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

Our fist visit to a Carmelite Convent was in Llandovery in the 1960 's . We were so taken by the nuns sense of fun and their happiness was so evident. This comes across again in your video. Thank you so much for bringing back memories . Good luck with your competition.

The music though is so beautiful😇😇😇😇😇😇

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?

I did Sister Act the musical in November

pray for me sisters liv known the Carmelite nuns in Auckland New Zealand for 50 yrs my mum took me to Carmel aged 12 yrs old st theresr6 healed me one day June fergus new Zealand

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..

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.

sweet!

Inspiring

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

So Beautiful 💞

Sincere prayers but not always answered.

I take your point sister you say you have happy when your choose concreted life. Happy is Everything happy bring Succefull .. interested quote by Sr Maria Carmelite ..

👑

👏👏👏Superb

THE GOSPEL TRUTH OF RCC RELIGIOUS PIETY AMEN

I WISH I KNEW WHAT THE INTRO MUSIC IS FROM

Beautiful cards I’d love to buy them

i am very frightened of fire alarms.do you have fire alarms in the Monastery? are they bells or sirens.

Nice video

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.

I might come to visit. If its o.k with you lovely sisters.

Please pray for me I would love to be a nun please God

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.

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.

Well done, Ross. Thanks for including the Whoopi Goldberg outtake!
