This is more troubling than comforting. These individuals are allowing everything they know about themselves to go asunder. I cannot bring myself to believe that such self-sacrifice benefits anybody, not the world, not the nuns themselves.
My OPINION (note the word) is that this a self-serving mind trip, regardless of how humble, silent, and austere it may be. I find it tragic.
I say bravo to all the men and women in the world who have the courage to follow the call of God in their heart, no matter what that call might be. I myself feel an immense attraction to the cloistered Carmelites and am considering discerning for religious vocation.
its true you should not judge a situation on a narrow minded and worldly basis.how can you say that life in the monastery or in the convent is bad when you did not even experienced living in it?i myself can say that my experience inside the convent walls is the most beautiful and the most joyful moments of my life.living with JESUS and with the nuns.i plan to go back and answer the call of JESUS Now.i know there will be trials but with JESUS i will bear it.
When you have a complete spiritual union with Jesus Christ, he is your Spiritual spouse, the Love is deeper then any other. Well any other I have experience. I am a Widow with four children (young) and about to join the Carmelite Secular order, one day if it is Gods will I will be a full Spouse of Jesus. God Bless you all.

Funny how people would say that these young women are odd and yet many would watch spring break videos and think the way the young women behave there is normal. Only with spiritual eyes can you see the beauty and importance of the monastic life. May God increase their numbers!
divine husband? marriage with Jesus? did I hear it wrong? What's the problem with these people? I think they are kind of sick. I really don't think Jesus would want to marry so many of them.
Why is that a problem? It's not a real marriage, but a spiritual one. Are you Catholic? Most Protestants don't understand this, hence they aren't in the Catholic Church. Don't call them sick when you don't understand them. That's terrible.

Go for it, JesusForeverLoved! Some convents have vocation weekends where girls pretend to be a nun just for a weekend to see if they like it. You should try it.
i am offended by the tone of the reporters.like a harvard grad cant find peace and solace in a convent or desire a spirtual oneness with god.i didnt realize getting your degree meant you gave up your religion
"Loving love itself is sometimes to much." I couldn't have said it better!!!!!!! I myself am probably going to be a Nun, it's my dream. I know I would miss my family so much, but I know God is calling me. Living this kind of life as a Nun, I don't know if I could be ready to live the kind of religious routine that they live by. I wish I could say I could, and I give much credit and admiration to those woman who live their life's the way they do.
It is said that if these nuns and their male counterparts stopped praying the world would go into utter ruin. I can only imagine how many of their intercessions have been heard and kept us out in the world safe in God's grace.
It feel like the reporter is trying to make it sound like theyre lambs being led to a slaughter, like she doesnt understand it. They have a very special calling. I think its amazing.
We live in an imperfect world, full of cruelty oftentimes done by people. Perhaps there is a deep psychological need for self punishment and isolation-but no amount of such self sacrifice will not change the way things are or how people are. Even nuns are people too. Frankly this sounds a bit brainwashing-just my opinion.
If a woman is not meant for the life she will leave precisely for that reason. The focus/goal of life is not the self but relationship with God. To love and live solely for the Creator of the Universe and Lover of Souls can be the most beautiful and demanding life vocation. It is an offering of life's suffering and happiness to God. May God bless you because with God all things are possible and His Grace is sufficient for all your needs.
PRAYERS CHANGE THE WORLD! and people who give their lives to GOD are very powerful because GOD uses them as HIS INSTRUMENTS , POWERFUL INSTRUMENTS , THEIR PRAYERS ARE VERY POWERFUL ! BECUASE THEY ARE VERY NEAR TO GOD , MORE THAN PEOPLE WHO LIVE FOR THEIRSELVES EACH DAY!
These sisters are amazing. But I'm struck by the salacious tone of these "reports"... It must be hard for people involved with the media to understand why people would turn away from the decadence and daliance of casually pornographic media culture for the subtlety and rigor of a religious life.

The simple truth is that you can serve the Lord without going to such extremes. It is sad that they think this is the best way to serve God.

to me it is not suprising, I think they need to rephrase that it is suprising to a non catholic maybe that does not understand.
