a damn shame such a beautiful body will be retired

why must there be celibacy attached to working with the Church, that makes no sense to me

We should all enjoy God’s gift with those who we love in life

She probably just saved her own life. Modelling is one of the worst jobs/careers a woman can pursue

I hope on the 1st day of her service, they fed her a couple of cheeseburgers with lots of fries.

Without wishing to be too 'preachy' or overly deep for a forum thread ... I'm prompted to share my reflection on the 'why':

She heard the Lord, her God, say to her soul ... 'I am your salvation.' Her soul responded to God's call ... with total abandonment to herself ... her gift to God was to give His gift to her totally to Him. Totus Tuus.

My heart is restless, Lord, until it rests in You ...

I was very flattered when a good priest I knew from Nigeria, who was a very kind and learned man, suggested I become a nun, when I gave him a gift of a vegetarian dish during Lent last year.

I asked him what he wanted me to pray for. His answer,”More workers in the vineyards of the Lord.”

Bless you Sister Dolores Hart. Jesus asks us to carry our cross and follow him. Whether the cross of your beauty is hard or easy, you have made an example for us of total devotion.

May all who see you, see that God creates beauty because beauty is good and pleasing to God, and you are beautiful representative of his work.

She’s probably sick of being on a diet all the time.

“why must there be celibacy attached to working with the Church, that makes no sense to me”

And I suspect you’d be the first to complain if she created a few more children with no fathers for the rest of us to support.

It won't be retired. She'll be working hard, not just sitting around. Yes, we all know what you meant, but sex isn't the only thing in life.

why must there be celibacy attached to working with the Church, that makes no sense to me

Celibacy is not a requirement to work for the Church. There are many, many ways to work for the Church that don't require celibacy. After a long period of discernment, however, she chose this particular way of working for the Lord. So evidently sex is not at the top of the list of priorities for her. Other things are more important to her.

We should all enjoy God’s gift with those who we love in life

Yes, we should. And as a nun she will use her vocation for motherhood. She will just be a different kind of mother than most.

She obviously felt a calling..

However, if nuns can now win the Italian "the Voice" and wear habits that end at the knee..might we soon have a nun pageant of sorts..? The new Pope is exploring odd ways to reach out..

Every beautiful body is retired by time sooner or later.

nobody chooses his calling... the calling chooses him... she has not chosen to be a nun... that calling has chosen her...
