The Nun on 30 Years of Celibacy: Sometimes It's Not Easy.

According to ТСН: Sister Gabriel, a Franciscan nun from England, shared her life of celibacy, which has lasted for over 30 years. She admitted that sometimes it can be difficult.

Life in the Monastery

In the conversation, Sister Gabriel revealed that she lives in a monastery in Arundel, dedicating her life to prayer, service, and community. She noted that she spends most of her time in one place, working and praying, and hopes to 'live the fullness of life here and die here as well.'

Previous Life

Before entering the monastery, her life was entirely different – she studied aviation and mechanical engineering, worked in that field, and occasionally drank alcohol. Sister Gabriel emphasized that nuns 'can definitely' drink alcohol.

Sexual Topic

When asked how she copes with the lack of a sexual life, the nun responded frankly: 'Sometimes it's hard.' She explained that during different periods of life, abstinence has been easier or harder, but the feeling of love 'grows and expresses itself in different forms.' She also added: 'Yes, it can be tough.'

Infatuations in Film

When asked about 'famous infatuations', Sister Gabriel seemed a bit flustered and smiled. She admitted that she loves watching movies during vacations, and some actors leave a strong impression on her. In particular, she mentioned the film 'A Star Is Born' with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.

'Can I fall in love with Bradley Cooper? His eyes – well, they are just incredible,' she laughed, adding that she had even watched the film twice, which is very unusual for her.

It is worth noting that Pope Francis has included Ukraine in his will.

Sister Gabriel's life is a vivid example of how a person can find meaning in dedication to their beliefs. Her experience shows that the choice of a path in the monastery opens new horizons, although it does not come without difficulties and trials. It's also interesting how this nun perceives the world of modern cinema, as it highlights a cultural attachment and desire to stay connected with life beyond the walls of the monastery.
