Br. Cyril Stola, O.P., on the Life of a Cloistered Nun

"If you don’t understand cloistered nuns, you don't understand reality.

"Their lives, perhaps, seem to be a waste. Cloistered nuns have no career, no children, no travels, no wealth. A few leave writings or art, but the vast majority leave nothing tangible behind. They do not teach, they do not run soup kitchens, they do not care for orphans nor do they provide for widows. Rather, they do something better. They contemplate God."

In a recent commentary, Brother Cyril Stola, O.P., reflected on how the life of a cloistered nun is exalted "because it is defined by contemplation itself."
