Life of Cistercian Nuns

God bless these beautiful ladies.

A cop out really? I wish you would go research the lives of some of the nuns that you speak of. What of Mother Teresa? Was she a cop out?

its not easy to practise silence life...try shut yourself for a day...and observer your feeing,body and thought...try...

What reality?

The one on Survivor? The capitalistic, materialistic reality?

A real life is attained when we directly confront who we are...not amidst the hectic rat race...but in aloneness and silence. That is how we enter the world...and that is how we leave it.

very peaceful place

It is not a cop out to do what you were made from birth to do. It is fulfilling as only following the will of God can be. Just wondering, have you ever met any nuns? They are some of the most joyful young women I have ever met in my life. They aren't concerned with what's on the outside, they only care about the inside, and they care very passionately about the inside of every person in the world.

There are 17,000 martyrs in 1789-1793.

To those who seem to be not contributing anything "helpful" to this comment board please understand this is a beautiful place filled with wonderful people who do not judge you on who you are. They are definitely among some of the most blessed people I know. Let's try to offer respect or simply be on your way.

When you come to realize our need for their personal sacrifices and prayers on behalf of humanity, remember to accept God's Grace which will come to you!

Technology can't beat the help and work of a human's hand.
