as a non religious person watching this, it’s so lovely to see them so happy! i do find some of the principles odd, but it’s so interesting to learn about them. i’m glad they have found such a deep and rich existence and use it to spread love. sisters remind me of the pure and good foundation this religion was built upon. i’d love to hear more!
Awesome to hear that there is a part of your heart that see's the value of this!
God bless you
I agree! I can't say I understand or necessarily align/agree with everything they said, but honestly, they appear very happy, radiate sincerity, and seem to genuinely be committed to their community and faith. If this is how they navigate the world, well, we all have to find a way that works for us!
The sisters of life are the most joyful and loving ladies I’ve ever “met”. If you liked listening to them in this video, check out their podcast called Let Love. You should start on season one. I’m sure you’ll love it!
I'm an atheist, raised Catholic. I just came here to say that although some people have an idea that sisters/nuns are mean and scary, in my experience, they're more likely to be like these two women: kind and friendly. I'll never understand their path, but I respect it.
It’s a selfless path if you take the time to understand just how you took the time justifying being atheist.
God loves you so! John 3:16✝️
@UCzDwella201
Im an atheist/agnostic (there isnt a god as defined by religion. If there is something greater, its as far beyond me as I am to an ant and it doesnt care about individual life forms.) and I respect all religions, as long as they respect others.
People have the right to believe as they choose, and if they feel a calling in service to a deity, more power to them.
Religious sisters are some of the coolest chill people Ive ever met. And even though I dont see reality in the same way, I respect their path and choice to live a religious life.
I dont understand your comment at all. You arent being judgemental of the other atheist are you?
I’m non practicing now, but I grew up with nuns and they’re the most warm and non-judgmental people I’ve ever come across. Of course, there are mean ones as well but most of them are really nice.
I’m fourteen and will be received into the church after a 2 year conversion this Easter Vigil! My parents are atheist and I can’t believe it’s finally happening, but anyways I’m feeling a strong call towards religious life and I’ve been praying a lot about it (about.a year of prayers about my vocation) and I’ve felt very called to it since praying about it, please pray for me if you can that I find my vocation (I know I’m only 14 but I’m still very passionate about it) please pray for my parents that they find Christ, and please pray for me as I finish my conversion on this Easter Viigil!
It will be a privilege and a joy to pray for you.
In seeking guidance for a vocation, always remember 'His will, not my will'.
God bless you xx
God bless you!! i’m so excited for you:)
Do not get discouraged if you do not see spiritual progress or an awakening in your parents. It may be a long time coming. It is good they are not stopping your path into the church. The example of your life may very well be a positive for them. With you, I entrust your parents to God's care. I trust Him to guide your beautiful open heart as well❤
Hi Isabella. May I ask what you believe will get you to heaven? What does it mean to be accepted into the Catholic Church?
First, I am not a catholic. However, I am a Christ believer and follower. However, due to physical and sexual abuse as a child, I struggle with connecting to God. In many ways, it is quite scary. But God led me to your channel, "by accident". I am encouraged by how you talk about the loving, intimate, and fulfilling relationship you have with Jesus. I pray that through counseling, and seeking God, I too will come to know a relationship like yours. THANK YOU
I'm sorry for what you went through as a child, but don't let the evils of one person keep you from Jesus. Turn to Him.
We oftentimes get so focused on what went wrong, we can’t see what’s good, kind and merciful. You’re heading the right way by professing your fears and anguish. You are called, we are called to God’s infinite grace, mercy and love. Blessings ❤
My dear sister in Christ, I am pretty much sure that God will use your brokenness and turn it into a beautiful mosaic. Pray and discern what God wants for you and just be willing to say yes to Him, You are not alone in this world you have God and his body , the church. Go and ask guidance from your nearest parish church.
I need Him back into my life. I was lead astray and want to get right.
❤️❤️❤️❤️I’m so sorry about what you have been through. God sees you and loves you so much!
I am a Muslim, and it was interesting to know the point of view and religious routine of people from other religion. Thank you for your answers ❤
God loves you so! John 3:16✝️
Is there a Muslim equivalent of nuns?
@@erinmaree1987 No, there are only ministers/servants (men) in Mosques called 'imam' who announces praying times, leads the prayings and talks to people regarding Islamic questions. There are also women teachers in religious classes for girls, but they only teach and are not considered as religious servants.
"With God, it's always more"
I love the way you phrased that so much
'Give Him permission to love you.' I've not heard that before. Nail on the head, Sister!!! 🙏🏻💚
Man, you ladies don't even understand how you just served me by making this video. Your faith is so authentic that is feels like it's pouring into a part of me. Thank you
well said. I was enriched by watching this.
I like to imagine that all of their cutlery and dishes match their habits
They dont! I know
I was just thinking about how their mugs matched their habits!
I wonder who does the cooking?
@@kimberlyholt2241 In our local convent, the sisters do it collectively, although one sister is 'in charge' of the kitchen. Convents are not above secular law, and the sister 'in charge' of cooking has all the appropriate qualifications and certificates to run a kitchen.
😂
I would love to have more videos from these 2 Sisters! The world needs to see more beautiful examples of this vocation! Thank you, Sisters, for your "Yes" to Our Good Lord's call on your life. I felt the nudge, but was too afraid to pursue it!
I’m not/have never been Catholic (I’m nondenominational Christian), but listening to you both fills my heart with joy and awe (much like when I see beautiful Catholic artwork/cathedrals/etc.) Your sweet words and enthusiasm are blessings to everyone who hears you - even those of us non-Catholics. 😊❤️❤️
I’m also a nondenominational Christian and I completely agree!
These women exemplify what womanhood means to me. What an inspiration ❤
these ladies make me smile. They appear so content away from the trappings of the world.
Please make a part 3 as well! This could be a nice series.
Here's another question:
How are duties in the convent assigned or rotated? Do the sisters always learn new skills or do they stay specialized?
Thanks!!
Well... great question, big answer: 1) It depends on each congregation and it depends if you're talking about sisters or nuns. 2) It also depends on which tasks are we considering. There are everyday tasks (aka chores) that are assigned using weekly schedules. There are "job/work" tasks that are assigned to one sister because of her educational background. For example, back in my community, there was a sister that was an anthropologist. She was the only one (I'm a SLP). Sooo... the duties associated with our relationship with indigenous communities were assigned to her. This is a brief introduction, but the answer is longer.
❤❤ Thank you, dear Sisters!! Please pray for us and for the whole world. God bless you, protect you, and keep you safe. Sending prayers and love! 🙏💞
Revelation 5 kJV 🩸
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Ephesians 1 kJV 🩸
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
I am not at all religious but to have this kind of faith is amazing.
"give him permission to love you"...6 words with so much power. Thanks for sharing your hearts truthfully and sincerely ladies and being real why you do it!
I LOVE how happy they are!! What a beautiful example for so many women feeling this vocation!
¡Gracias! I spent a week, on Christmas time, with the Poor Clare Sisters in Puán, Buenos Aires, and... I don't feel like God is calling me to be a nun but I came back home convinced that it IS A BEAUTIFUL LIFE, a wonderful life. and having Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament all the time there, so close, is amazing, it gives a lot of peace. In addition to the silence of the place, which also does good to the soul. God Bless from Argentina. ❤
1 Corinthians 15 kJV
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
5 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ephesians 1 kJV 🩸
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Hola, también soy de Bs As.
Yes, please make this a regular series!
I’m a Protestant but their discussion starting at 7:41 was so healing and really demonstrated the love of God for each individual and the deep and unique love he has for each woman.
You two ladies are amazing and it is so interesting hearing you answer all those questions God Bless You 🙏🌹
Addressing them as sisters is more appropriate than ladies!
@@Marekcatholic mind your own business
@@Marekcatholic However we address our sisters, our nuns, the important thing is to address them with love.
One thing is for sure with the Catholic, no one can be a part among them when it comes to the bible. No matter how much you (2 Timothy 2:15) your not a part of them.
Imagine that Sr. Mary Grace initially applied to join the Carthusian nuns :-). It's so nice to see sisters smiling and truly testifying to the richness of spiritual life by radiating genuine happiness. God bless you, sisters.
It’s always in the back of my mind to discern the Holy life.❤I’m praying as I watch this to hear something and learn whatever I need to.🙏
Hi sisters
It's a joy to tune into your video,
Please pray for my daughter Martha Mary.
She's going through a thought time a present
Praying for her!!💗 sending all kind thoughts and prayers
I will pray for her today.
Praying for your daughter now.
I'm not Catholic but it's lovely to hear about your lives. It is so important to seek the Lords will for your life. You will be blessed.
Thank you Sisters for your openness and vulnerability in sharing your lives with us. May Our Lord Jesus bless you always and the Holy Spirit be your guide 🙏🏼♥️
Thank you, Sisters. You are shining examples of the joy of God's love.😍
Beautiful videos. I watched both parts. God bless you, sisters ❤❤❤
i have TONS of religious trauma and don't consider myself religious at all, but wow.. this may be the most comforting and positive religious videos i have ever seen,
Thank you Sisters for doing another video. You both remind me of my favorite scripture. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16. Thank you for being a positive light in this world.
You two are SUCH a joy! Thank you so much for your kind words and wisdom. ❤️
Really enjoyed this. Im not particularly religious but these ladies seem really happy and content in their lives. Nice to see happy people..
I was so touched by the part where you talked about loving your daughter as a parent. It's so important to feel this consistency of love! Some of us have to look for it elsewhere because our parents couldn't give us this unconditional love. Sending a light and a hug to all, who are on this journey too ❤️
I could listen to Mary Grace all day. She is so well spoken, full of light and joy and conviction. So blessed I stumbled across this video. ❤😊
Why do I feel an overwhelming urge to defend these 2 with my life?
Gods protection 💟
God Bless you sisters!✝️❤️❤️❤️🙏👍
I would like to say that these two sisters dynamic has been the most enjoyable, I find them heartwarming and they go together so well. I hope to see more of them in the future!
These sisters have soft but bright light that is so attractive. Peace that the world cannot fake. ❤
I love how joyful these sisters are! They are so fun to listen to. I pray that they inspire many vocations 🙏🏻 ♥️
as a non religious person i think learning about other peoples faith and road to finding them self in faith is super interesting
Thank you, Sisters! What a joy it is to listen to your clarity and devotion to the joys of discipline in religious life! ❤
I love hearing your joyful words, sisters. Thank you & may God continue to bless you.
The nuns I met growing up were so nice and sweet. When I was little I used to get kind of star-struck excited to see one in person, since they are not very common in the U.S.
As I got older it was nice to realize that they feel human emotions too and they come from a place of wisdom. I couldn't become a nun, but it is inspiring how they devote themselves to Jesus and lead by example. ❤
I absolutely love these videos of these sisters. Please keep them coming! I'd love to hear more about their lives.
These videos are great! Looking forward to part 3! God bless everyone watching this!
These two are so sweet. God bless you sisters! ( all of you)
Love these segments with Sr. Marie and Sr. Mary 🙂
Im a catholic and this helped me more about the faith
“give Him permission to love you”
good golly that hit deep.
thank you sisters. God bless yall.
I enjoyed this so much. Both of you have such a peaceful, gentle and happy countenance. Please continue doing videos. I’m certain it’s especially beneficial to young women who are discerning the call. I am a spiritual director and could see myself, (looking back) living your life. I was called rather to the vocation of motherhood. I would not trade it. Now that my children are grown, I spend a lot of time in silence. God bless both of you. 💜😇
God bless you, dear sisters! What a beautiful testimony ! 😊👍🏻🙏🏻✝️
Thank you sisters for helping me understand the heart of God a little more.
I'm non-religious. They seem so much happier and stable than our current non-religious population. I wish them many more years of happiness.
This should be a regular series… bless you both💙
Please bring them back and do more of these!!!
please more videos from you!! i have enjoyed these so much! thank you both so much❤
2 more MILLION views…here they come!! ❤ I love these two beautiful and joyful women. Another vote for more! 🙋♀️
Oh sisters I love how humble and píos you are I wish I’ve the privilege of being called by our Lord Jesus to be a nun. God bless you all…
i want these sisters as my friends! theyre so genuine and joyful.
You sisters are so amazing...Thankyou for sharing your religious life. BEAUTIFUL INDEED to hear from you.🎉🎉🎉
I LOVED THIS!!! This is the first "Sister" video I've seen & I just thought it was lovely. My identical twin struggles with her vocation & has very much thought many times that monastic life was her calling. Sending her this video, for sure! Thank you, Sisters!!❤
There's a beautiful film called "Light of Love ". ❤ You have to watch it!!! 🎉
Thank you sisters for sharing such a positive message to the world. May God continue to bless you.
Thank you so much for your way of faith sisters! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love this!! Thank you for doing this ❤❤❤ may God bless you abundantly and may your love reach all those who need it ❤
Thanks so much I love your videos! They are short enough and so inspiring! God bless from Canada 💕
Absolutely amazing, please make more with these 2 sisters ❤
Wow! I have played this video many times and never hit the like button. This is a clear sign of how much I love this talk.
Ascension, I'm begging you again, PART 3 pls
I love these two sisters so much. Such a gift of faith. I can feel my faith being lifted as they share interestingly. They should start a podcast together to discuss different topics in depth!! Might struggle to fit it into the schedule 😆 May Gods will be done 🙏
God bless you Sisters! ❤
Love this new "mini-series". Maybe have one on how to embrace the season of Lent? Hoping your podcast resumes. It's the best part of my week when the new one "drops".
These words sound so authentic. I'm so happy for you both:) a bit envious, I best pray about that.
Love these Sisters and videos! Please do a part 3...at least :)
My heart is always full when I see joyful and kind sisters!
I SOOOO love these videos. Thank you for showing the joy of serving through Christ!
Thank you! Please make more videos for us. You are amazing.
This is beautiful. God bless!!
I met these ladies once at an expo. Kinda surreal to see them pop up on my yt feed
Aw I love hearing from y'all. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for your service. What a beautiful life you have chosen.
I'm agnostic, but really enjoyed this video. Such warm and engaging people and content ☺️
Thank You Sisters for answering questions about your life , continued prayers for you 💖🙏📿
You two are so sweet. Happy you found the right vocation.
Thank you sisters!
What adorable and kind sisters. Love this!
You both are amazing! ☺️ I’m sure you will live very long lives.
Such wonderful advice for life. Thank you for sharing. ❤ God bless you.
Both sisters mentioned liking to run. What is your running attire? Thanks for sharing your lives with us. 💫💐
Wondering if you Sisters can compete in fun-runs or marathons (like the 'Iron Nun," Sr. Madonna Buder, a super-ager triathlete).
Great video! I have a question: You touched upon the fact that there are differences between communities /orders. Could you make a video on the differences and explain why you chose the one you are in? Thank you and God bless!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, Sisters. I enjoy your sharing. "Women who are capable of religious life"... this is a powerful statement. And true about each of us in our vocation: "women who are capable of marriage".
The sisters are so beautiful. Jesus has to be so proud of His daughters 🥲✝️♥️
I love watching videos about the sisters! 😊❤
I love these videos. As a single dad my 5yr old daughter and I have watched these together several times. I was wondering do you ever do activities in different outfits? Do you run in your same outfit? How many of the same outfits do you have? Do you have some for when you are likely to get them dirty or damaged? Do you have hats, gloves, coats, that resemble things seen at department stores?
Thank you sisters this was entertaining and informative!!! :) god bless
Wahoo! GO SISTERS! God bless you all, lots of prayers for you!
Wow seeing this days later but it's just awesome! 💯💯💯💯💯
This is so fascinating. The way you answer the questions and explain your lives is uplifting and encouraging. I have a question....Can you or do you vote in political elections?
They can vote.
So good.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
