In my Patheos article “What Is Causing the Declining Number of Nuns?” I included several possible reasons for the drastic decrease in religious vocation for women. I also mentioned that in the end, only God knows the needs of our times and how best to fulfill it.
Yes, the points you made are very true. I've met consecrated women and have noticed the amount of time they are able to devote to their community. No attachments, just complete service to their parish and neighbors. I admire that very much and do gravitate towards that simple kind of life.
Well said. I agree. Even as a widow can I stay single to do what God called me to do. People kept asking me why I never remarried after I became a young widow. It's simple. It was not my calling.
