MONASTIC MOTHERHOOD.
Take a scenario where one is seated to her young born sibling who is few days old
pondering on how she is becoming a mother and synthesizing the extent of change of her faith
and the reshaping of her image that she is at the moment. She became a mother out of her
knowledge, she became pregnant when she was merely fifteen years old and got her very first
born at the age of sixteen stayed for several years to appoint when she had her seventh child at
the age of thirty and still she feels it is still not time to have children or even being a parent
despite all the times that she had got pregnancy carried it for several months before giving but
she still it is not the right time for her to be called a mother maybe the calling of her to become
a mother has not yet reached and it is not only to her but also to most people such events have
happened to come to their way.
One may get puzzled on what teachings from monks had she gone through about
motherhood. I know it is seen as abnormal but the reality is this, religious or monastic life is
prophetic in nature hence it is not easy for one to witness it and it always reflects the kingdom
of heaven. Taking a solemn promise to poverty, chastity, obedience and living with other religion
and monastics are of no sense in this world that we are leaving, unless one sanctifies himself or
herself and live a holy life in order to be considered in the kingdom of heaven since the prophecy
reflects the lives of all religious people and it reminds each and every monastic the reality or truth
and it is through the reality that will lead us to the kingdom that we are heading to and that is
heaven.
Following the knowledge given by the Monk on the monastic motherhood the mother she
had to accept herself and live as per her monastic faith and beliefs and she had to accept that
errors had been done and hence she had to change her monastic lifestyle and continue to serve

her master as her on savior and redeemer since as per doctrines as a nun she had not to involve
herself with dirt but Satan overpowered her and she failed. She noticed how often other people
had different opinions about the kind of person she was and the kind of mother she was supposed
to be. Sometimes she felt she was not perfect before other people’s eyes, a situation that made
her feel inferior, but she had actually agreed that one of the essential trait that we Christian
learned from the monks is trying to be real, honest, and true to who we are. According to
(Clerkes) in page (120-149) We cannot have an acceptable and real relationship with the almighty
God and even anybody else if we are not honest with ourselves. Coloring the false image to
ourselves is not necessary for monastic life and that will separate our life from the almighty and
will end up being totally far away with God a situation that will ruin our life further.
Monasticism is all about a White Martyrdom as. When we try to reflect on the life of saints
suffered on human’s hands some passed through fatal and intense treatment but they never
surrendered to the God’s enemies just to please them and in return a shaming our only savior
and redeemer The Mighty God who is with great promises and He is always faithful to His
promises. So as great Christians who know what monastic life entails, according to
http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/books/schopen-chap1.pdf we have to be ready even sacrifice
our lives for God since He even sacrifices a lot for us with our lives. Can one try gauge the intensity
that is in one sacrificing his only son to go get mishandled, mistreated pinned to a cross and lastly
die just to save sinful people who actually they are not worth all that treatment. I know most of
us as parents, cannot even think of trying that and even if we are promised unimaginable.
The Nun faced a lot of difficulties in her monastic life and as well being a mother of seven,
but she had to persevere and withstand all the challenges and tried to stick in prayers and
confession and made great efforts in attaining the communion with God and actually with time
she forgot everything and had to accept that she was a mother and a nun as well and life
continued.
In conclusion, Monastic motherhood is real and is possible so long as one is committed
to her God and God cannot let her go too. He will be by her side in every situation that is beyond
her faith as he did to the main saints such as Job, Abraham and many others as the bible and

other monastic articles state. One’s heart and commitments to God is more important than what
people with evil spirits will think or talk about you and some will even despise you but God our
father says that He will never let you if only stand firm and hold Him firmly.
