  I am currently discerning religious life and plan to become a Dominican sister. There is just something extremely beautiful about giving your entire existence to God, to do His will. I pray everyday for the increase of vocations.

  The habit represents their roles in public and difference them from others. Now a days it's hard to know them in public without their habits. For me, the habit represent purity. The habit draws people to them. I do miss seeing them in their habits.

  I have been seriously considering the idea of becoming a nun. I think wearing the habit is one of the perks of being a nun!

  As a teenage Catholic girl, I've thought about the religious life, but there's never a time I'd think of joining an order without habits. Nuns with habits are the most joyful people I've ever met.

  i miss my aunt who is a religious nun. A nun's vocation is a tremendous work. They are not just praying. May God bless them & may numbers increase.

  Put the habit back on. Not just some nuns/sister but all of them! Your numbers will go up.

  It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a sister dressed in religious habit but when I do, I instantly think of God.

  Religious communities that maintain habits and a strong prayer and communal life are thriving. New traditional communities are also forming. It would be nice to see these communities featured.

  When I meet nuns in their habits. I feel deep respect because they pray for all of us everyday selflessly.

  I really admire the practice of wearing a habit. It's a shame that this article explains dwindling numbers. Glad some are still keeping practice alive.

  I've been thinking about becoming a nun for a year. I've finally know that it is my path to become a religious sister. When I turn 18 in three years I'm going to join the Dominican sisters of mary. I feel such joy thinking about becaoming a sister and serving God. I could never think of not becoming a nun anymore.
