They radiate joy and holiness.

Some people are just set aside by God to pray for the world’s troubles and conversion, and to worship with every fiber and moment of their being.

It isn’t something I was chosen to do, but I truly delight in the others who are.

Where does the Bible say anything like that? I read in the Bible about taking care of widows, orphans, etc., but not about living a life of seclusion, even if that involves prayer and worship. Granted, we all should set aside time to pray and worship, but a whole life? I don't see it in the Bible.

I just saw a show on TV the other night talking about some of these cloistured nuns, and they talked like they thought that when they get to heaven they will be married to Jesus and have a "husband/wife" type relationship with Him. Very strange and very sad.
