- Wearing the habit invites strangers to share deep needs and confessions spontaneously.
- People often see a nun as a 'bride of Christ' and entrust their hearts without knowing her personally.

- Solitude can hide unhealed passions if one hasn't first been tested by community.
- Fr. Cassian: long-suffering grows by enduring others, not by isolating from them.
Take Small Steps In Discernment
- Don't fear initial visits to a monastery; short stays aren't lifetime commitments.
- Discern under a spiritual director and the community, because entrance is mutual, not unilateral.
