    I am not Catholic. Baptist. However a few years ago my daughter was involved in a car accident requiring skin graphs & surgeries. We where in a Catholic hosptol the nuns lived there then in their own wing. Two elderly nuns one in a wheel chair asked could they pray over my daughter. It was so kind so comforting. I often wonder about them. ❤

      ​@@IIMiikexDII- Ahhh....right you are.
      In the beginning, there was one Church, the Catholic (meaning universal) church. Then the Lutherans and then Anglicans broke away and changed the rules. Then the Methodists and Presbyterians, Baptists and Quakers changed those rules even further. Each of the above divisions have divided many times and has deleted more liturgy. Do you know how often the Baptist Church has split? There are some so-called Christian Bible Believin' churches that have taken out most of the Bible.
      Right now there are about 25-30,000 (yes thousands) of divisions in the Protestant church.
      Come home to the first Church. The one founded by Jesus and His followers and know the Fullness of the Faith.

      @@IIMiikexDII If one looks at philosophy, reason guides us to the conclusion that it is more reasonable for there to be only one God, with "god" being the term we use to describe the greatest conceivable thing (that's where you apply all of the 'omni-' titles like omnipresent and omnipotent, etc.) I suggest looking into the intelligent design argument, it is very compelling.
      It is then by looking at history one can determine the correct god. The history of the Israelites recounted in the Bible (which is also supported by outside sources as well as modern archaeology) records a god that wants a relationship with His creation and communicates with His chosen people (and sometimes even those who are not part of His chosen people!) and has maintained that relationship all the way to the present day, whether one follows the vein of Judaism or Christianity. (the difference is whether Jesus was the Messiah, the promised savior of the people, or not. I would say focus on God first and then on Jesus as after that is where things get a little messy amongst Christian Denominations. And of course, everyone thinks their way is the right/best... so save that for later)
      The fact that the Abrahamic religions have survived in a world that has so drastically changed in even just the last hundred years, let alone the last 4,000 or so years since the birth of Abraham, the patriarch, (birth estimated around 1951 BC), is strong evidence that something beyond anything us fickle humans can maintain on our own is going on.
      I wish you the best of luck in your continuing search. God Bless you.

Personally, I don't believe that we should have separate denominations... we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and as long as we believe in Him and follow Him, we are Christian. There is already so much hatred towards Christians in the world, we shouldn't be causing more division and spite within our OWN community! ❤

      A human husband and wife love each other. Life proceeded from the husband and the wife -- this life is also a human being. God the Father and His Son love each other. The Holy Spirit proceeded from the Father and the Son -- The Holy Spirit is also God. ❤
      “....In the Nicene Creed, Catholics affirm that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father and the Son."....The infinite love of Father and Son is of such an intensity that the Third Person of the Holy Trinity flows forth,....."
      "This aspect of Love giving Life to yet more Love is clearly what occurs in marriage when children are conceived. The man and wife, in an act of complete self-giving, produce, as a result of their own love for one another, a new life…”
      --- quotes from an article written by Catholic writer who became a deacon Fred Bartels. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (second edition) paragraph 246, the Holy Spirit's "nature and subsistence" is "at once(simul) from the Father and the Son." Many Catholics believe The Trinity is a Family of 3 Persons. A human family is (at least) 3 persons. Humans are "created in the image and likeness of God". Human marriage is a reflection of the union of God the Father and His Son. Tell people this when they're old enough to appreciate and understand it--- when they are 25 25 years old. Drive carefully and obey speed limits and traffic rules.

      Sisters usually run and administer Catholic missions, like hospitals, schools, clinics, etc... Women have a vital role in the church.
      The Church operates more than 140,000 schools, 10,000 orphanages, 5,000 hospitals and some 16,000 health clinics and they are all run by women.
      There are 600,000 nuns all over the world .
      Some orders require a college degree, some will accept girls without a degree and then put them through college as part of their formation program, and some do not require a degree at all. Orders working in health care and teaching often require some form of college degree.

      Colossians 1 About Jesus:
      For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
      17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
      18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
      19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
      20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
      1 John 5:3
      For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome.
      Rev 22:14
      Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
      THE TEN COMMANDMENTS….
      1- THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME
      2- THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE
      3- THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THY GOD IN VAIN
      4- REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY
      5- HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER
      6- THOU SHALT NOT KILL
      7- THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY
      8- THOU SHALT NOT STEAL
      9- THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOURS
      10- THOU SHALT NOT COVET
      Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
      18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
      Hebrews10:26-31- For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!!..
      These few verses unmask deception and reveal idolatry:
      Jeremiah 7:18
      The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.
      The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of human hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see; they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them become like them. SO DO ALL WHO TRUST IN THEM. Psalm 135:15-18
      Deuteronomy 4:16
      that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,
      Jeremiah 7:18-19 KJV
      The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the ¨queen of heaven¨, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
      Mary and saint worship, Mary the mediatrix and queen of heaven? God cleary told us Jesus is the ONLY mediator between God and mankind. Whoever else you use as mediator or pray to is IDOLATRY.
      1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.
      Saints dont intermediate and dont listen to prayers, they are dead people like you and me, made of flesh and they died, Mary also is one of them, she was a normal woman who gave birth to Jesus and she and other people may not be worshipped.
      God declared the dead as the following:
      Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten. 6Indeed their love, their hate and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun.
      If the dead are alive somewhere... then who are the ones Christ will resurrect at his arrival?
      *Second commandment (Ex 20:4): Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, ...*
      this includes rosary necklaces, Mary and saint statues, Jesus, Mary and saint images, crosses, 'holy relics' and many more items used in worship by most denominations. People bow down before these things, kiss them, pray with them and that is wrong.
      Christ is the mediator we pray towards, close the door and pray to him honestly without any items or images, he is the living God and does not share his glory with manmade things.
      It is time to return to the old Hebraic faith of Jesus (Yeshua) and do what he did (obey the Fathers commandments and laws). There was no Catholic church or hundreds of denominations each with their own views and opinions back in the days of Jesus and the prophets. Believers had the old testament back then, which is the foundation of all scripture and the key to understand the new testament. Most Cathechism practices like rosary prayers etc are just invented in the 16th century.. first pope existed in 538ad and not in the apostles their days. those things got nothing to do with Jesus, its the traditions and vanities of religious men who went far astray from the Fathers commands.
      Matt 7:22
      Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
      22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…
      Berean Standard Bible
      Only those who obey Gods commandments will enter the kingdom, there is a large familiar group of people who think they please Jesus but obviously they will be rejected by Him because they denied the commandments.
      Many teachings and videos are available on our fb page lessons from Jesus

      I have currently lost not one, but two doctors, because they both became nuns! They are both cloistered nuns, so they don’t leave the convent, so I can’t see them anymore. We can write each other though. (One was my palliative care doctor, so we were very close.) Her twin sister was a lawyer that made A LOT of money. She left law to become a nun. Then her twin sister, my palliative care doctor, felt called to become a nun too. The problem was, she was only 30, so she still had massive student debt from medical school. Nuns don’t make money, so she thought she would have to work as a doctor for many more years, before she could follow her calling as a nun. When her sister, who was the ex lawyer now turned nun, heard of this she immediately paid off all her sister’s debt. Because of that, her sister was able to leave medicine and become a nun for the same order. Now there is a joke that they are sister sisters lol. (Biological sisters and sisters through the order.)

      @@findingbeautyinthepain8965 Thank you for recounting that inspirational story. I have been recently watching a lot of testimony from religious Sisters on UA-cam, about how they were called to their vocation, and it seems like many of them come from the medical profession. While this is purely speculative on my part, I think the reason why so many Sisters were former doctors, nurses, physical therapists, etc. is because, in the medical field, one encounters human frailty, in its most unvarnished form, when you are dealing with sick and dying people. People who are in that line of work are confronted with the harsh reality of human existence, and the serenity that believing in God and the hereafter can bring to someone who knows they are dying. So it makes sense that they would be called to dedicate their life to living for something that transcends this world.

    I was taught, for eight years, by Notre Dame nuns and Jesuit priests. Those eight years were the best years of my life. They loved us so much and we knew it. The Church and school were in one building with the convent and rectory on the same grounds. I recently went online and found that it’s all gone now. I was heartbroken. I did graduate from the eighth grade in 1962 though but still. I have no idea what’s on the grounds now and honestly don’t want to know. Thank you for your “yes”.

I always wander why they where so happy and remember exactly when i found out why. They had found devotion in the love of Jesus has i had found love in a woman who gave me children, and i'm still smiling after 35 years because i had found like them the meaning of our life on earth.

      17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
      18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

      These few verses unmask deception and reveal idolatry:
      Jeremiah 7:18
      The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.
      The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of human hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see; they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them become like them. SO DO ALL WHO TRUST IN THEM. Psalm 135:15-18
      Deuteronomy 4:16
      that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,
      Jeremiah 7:18-19 KJV
      The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the ¨queen of heaven¨, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
      Mary and saint worship, Mary the mediatrix and queen of heaven? God cleary told us Jesus is the ONLY mediator between God and mankind. Whoever else you use as mediator or pray to is IDOLATRY.
      1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.
      Saints dont intermediate and dont listen to prayers, they are dead people like you and me, made of flesh and they died, Mary also is one of them, she was a normal woman who gave birth to Jesus and she and other people may not be worshipped.
      God declared the dead as the following:
      Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten. 6Indeed their love, their hate and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun.
      If the dead are alive somewhere... then who are the ones Christ will resurrect at his arrival?
      *Second commandment (Ex 20:4): Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, ...*
      this includes rosary necklaces, Mary and saint statues, Jesus, Mary and saint images, crosses, 'holy relics' and many more items used in worship by most denominations. People bow down before these things, kiss them, pray with them and that is wrong.
      Christ is the mediator we pray towards, close the door and pray to him honestly without any items or images, he is the living God and does not share his glory with manmade things.
      It is time to return to the old Hebraic faith of Jesus (Yeshua) and do what he did (obey the Fathers commandments and laws). There was no Catholic church or hundreds of denominations each with their own views and opinions back in the days of Jesus and the prophets. Believers had the old testament back then, which is the foundation of all scripture and the key to understand the new testament. Most Cathechism practices like rosary prayers etc are just invented in the 16th century.. first pope existed in 538ad and not in the apostles their days. those things got nothing to do with Jesus, its the traditions and vanities of religious men who went far astray from the Fathers commands.
      Matt 7:22
      Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
      22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…
      Berean Standard Bible
      Only those who obey Gods commandments will enter the kingdom, there is a large familiar group of people who think they please Jesus but obviously they will be rejected by Him because they denied the commandments.

    I was raised methodist and consider myself a christian but I worked as a phlebotomist in a catholic hospital for a short while. I will always remember one particular Nun, she was from Ireland and she was there almost everyday. My first week she was one of the first to interact with me while I was observing and training. Since then she remembered my name, and always greeted and conversed with me every time we crossed paths in this huge hospital. All the traumas I responded to she was also there outside the bay. Such an incredibly sweet woman with a heart of gold. Her selflessness will always stick with me, and I hope to be like her in life.

    Their early years in the 50s they were tough. In the 60s they were laid-back and some even left the convent.
    Then there was a lull.
    Then, for my grandchildren, these types of sisters and other ones in that age group
    …are pleasant, friendly down to earth and relatable.
    The sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist are these types and awesome as well.

He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!!..
      These few verses unmask deception and reveal idolatry:
      Jeremiah 7:18
      The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.
      The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of human hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see; they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them become like them. SO DO ALL WHO TRUST IN THEM. Psalm 135:15-18
      Deuteronomy 4:16
      that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,
      Jeremiah 7:18-19 KJV
      The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the ¨queen of heaven¨, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
      Mary and saint worship, Mary the mediatrix and queen of heaven? God cleary told us Jesus is the ONLY mediator between God and mankind. Whoever else you use as mediator or pray to is IDOLATRY.
      1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.
      Saints dont intermediate and dont listen to prayers, they are dead people like you and me, made of flesh and they died, Mary also is one of them, she was a normal woman who gave birth to Jesus and she and other people may not be worshipped.
      God declared the dead as the following:
      Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten. 6Indeed their love, their hate and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun.
      If the dead are alive somewhere... then who are the ones Christ will resurrect at his arrival?
      *Second commandment (Ex 20:4): Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, ...*
      this includes rosary necklaces, Mary and saint statues, Jesus, Mary and saint images, crosses, 'holy relics' and many more items used in worship by most denominations. People bow down before these things, kiss them, pray with them and that is wrong.
      Christ is the mediator we pray towards, close the door and pray to him honestly without any items or images, he is the living God and does not share his glory with manmade things.
      It is time to return to the old Hebraic faith of Jesus (Yeshua) and do what he did (obey the Fathers commandments and laws). There was no Catholic church or hundreds of denominations each with their own views and opinions back in the days of Jesus and the prophets. Believers had the old testament back then, which is the foundation of all scripture and the key to understand the new testament. Most Cathechism practices like rosary prayers etc are just invented in the 16th century.. first pope existed in 538ad and not in the apostles their days. those things got nothing to do with Jesus, its the traditions and vanities of religious men who went far astray from the Fathers commands.
      Matt 7:22
      Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
      22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…
      Berean Standard Bible
      Only those who obey Gods commandments will enter the kingdom, there is a large familiar group of people who think they please Jesus but obviously they will be rejected by Him because they denied the commandments.

Over the years I hope I have become the man they wanted me to be. I cannot express what you women have meant to me. I am getting better as a man. May God bless you all.

The closest I've come to knowing a nun was my grandmother who I swear should have been a nun. She was a devout Catholic and a saint. She was a wonderful loving woman who loved Christ and was full of wisdom. I miss her dearly but I know I will see her again one day thanks to God's grace and Christ taking our punishment on the cross. I know the sisters probably don't read these comments but please tell them thank-you for me and God bless them.

    In a world mired in selfishness, status seeking, and materialism, it is so uplifting to see people who are not burdened by such preoccupations. Instead, they find purpose in the service of others. One can partake in philosophical debate and argue over the minutia of some esoteric precept of theology, but what truly engages people is seeing the abundant joy of those who live a vocational life. That is why nuns and others who live a consecrated life imbue people with so much hope regarding what life could be. Thank you, Sisters, for being who you are and answering Jesus' call. Thank you, Jesus, for calling these women to dedicate themselves to a higher objective.

    I am reminded by this lovely video of an experience I had over 25 years ago. I visited a Carmelite cloister in Avila, Spain. They were cloistered nuns who supported themselves by making these beautiful painted plasterer and pine resin crucifixes and holy water fonts. A sister was assigned to work with the public and everyone else was hidden inside the cloister. When we were inside the room looking at the artifacts (it was like being inside a stone castle) a nun came out of a little door and immediately became flustered and said, “Pardon! Pardon!” and ran away and slammed the door like she had seen a ghost! I felt like I just saw someone from another world!

The order that she was investigating has a tradition of *not* wearing wedding rings because, at some point in the Order's history, the sisters were forced to sell their rings to obtain funds to offset some sort of financial crisis. Since then, sisters in this particular order do not wear rings to honor those sisters' sacrifice. I wish I knew the name of the order so hopefully that story jogs someone's memory!
