a picture of a 16 year old girl with raised arms

there was a picture of a 16 year old girl in the Post today

she had raised arms and black finger nails, worshipping? praying? At Our Lady of Peace, Holy Mother, something Cathedral?

the caption indicated that she was contemplating becoming a nun. the article indicated that the Catholic church worried that fewer and fewer persons were entering the convents and monasteries.

My first shuddering thought was that I could never be a nun. Give up physical intimacy? Reciprocated, close relationships? If you've ever even kissed a boy, I don't think its something you give up lightly

But then I thought about the Sound of Music and spirituality and the somehow sexiness of chastity and modesty and being untouchable, and I decided that if I'd never kissed a boy or somehow forgot what relationships feel like, I could easily be a nun. It would be my uniformed, glorified girls camp.

Nobody solves a problem like Maria.
