Good Morning Sister,
I have few words that can really tell you how I feel but your site is very helpful and motivational. I believe God has guided me here and your words give me hope of something I have not felt before, “True Purpose”.
I have been adrift for most of my life searching for a purpose, a reason why I am here but I had been unsuccessful. Several years ago I was awakened to my true self and since then I have had many awakenings to my personal self but still nothing to my purpose. I have always felt that my awakening was a gift from God and I have always treated it as such and no matter what difficulties I encounter as a result of it… it is still a gift from Him to me.
God has never left my side though I left his for a very short spell, the sense of loss buried me, I now know what it like to be truly alone, but I regained Him with a lot of work and insight on my part and now that will never happen again.
But I too am older, 52 to be exact yet I feel God has given me another gift, to become a nun. I am very glad to have come across your site with a little guidance from above, so I keep coming back to it again and again to learn and explore the ways and hows of becoming a nun. I look forward to discovering many things beginning with your site and I hope to discover much, much more and if I can become a nun or be able to perform some other service for Him, I will be happy as it is a true gift from God.
I just wanted to say “Thank You!” for your work and Spirit on these pages and how helpful it is.
God Bless You with many Joys! Be Well, Be Happy, Be Your Best Self!

Hi Alyson, I’ll do you one better. I’ll make a PDF of the info and email it to you. Just ask that you keep the link and copyright for aNunsLife.org. Will email soon. We’re honored that you can use this to help others. Blessings.

I was wondering if it would be okay to copy and print out your page to give out to customers. We run a catholic store and often have girls or parents who have questions on how to become a nun or where to start. This is a wonderful reference and I would love to be able to have this to hand out to those that are hopeful to become a nun.

This is a great page! I just found it, PRAYER is key! The best way to get to know your spouse and the foundation of all your apostolic work. I’m entering the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist (DSMME) next year. They are a solid order. They pray the Liturgy of the Hours and have a monastic life, since they follow the Dominican tradition (sistersofmary.org). Amy, I do know of a young lady who entered a more charismatic order in Florida, but I have to look up the name. She is a beautiful young lady. I met her on a retreat with the DSMME. I’m praying for all of you!
