RELIGIOUS ORDERS MONTH - ARE YOU RE RELIGIOUS?

Many people remain "Never Married No Kids" because they become religious or spiritual and decide to devote their life to prayer or good works formally, by joining a Holy Order. They become priests, nuns, monks...

Let me say this about the vow of poverty. Many of the people who are in these orders have food, shelter, clothing, and medical insurance/care. There are plenty of people who have less. They are usually around other people for much of their day (the two sisters walking down the street together) and are not always alone or without a sense of family or community. Many of them have college educations thanks to their order.

That is MORE than a lot of poor people have! - Sister
