QUÉ SIGNIFICA NUN EN INGLÉS

Monja

Nun

Una monja es miembro de una comunidad religiosa de mujeres, típicamente una que vive bajo los votos de pobreza, castidad y obediencia. Puede que haya decidido dedicar su vida a servir a todos los seres vivos, o podría ser una asceta que voluntariamente eligió abandonar la sociedad dominante y vivir su vida en oración y contemplación en un monasterio o convento. El término "monja" es aplicable a católicos, cristianos ortodoxos, anglicanos, luteranos, jainistas, budistas, taoístas, hindúes y algunas otras tradiciones religiosas. Mientras que en el uso común los términos "monja" y "hermana" se usan a menudo indistintamente, se consideran diferentes formas de vida, con una "monja" siendo una mujer religiosa que vive una vida contemplativa y clausurada de meditación y oración para la salvación de Otros, mientras que una "hermana religiosa", en institutos religiosos como las Misioneras de la Caridad de la Madre Teresa, vive una activa vocación tanto de oración como de servicio, a menudo a los necesitados, enfermos, pobres e ignorantes.

A nun is a member of a religious community of women, typically one living under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. She may have decided to dedicate her life to serving all other living beings, or she might be an ascetic who voluntarily chose to leave mainstream society and live her life in prayer and contemplation in a monastery or convent. The term "nun" is applicable to Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Anglicans, Lutherans, Jains, Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus and some other religious traditions. While in common usage the terms "nun" and "sister" are often used interchangeably, they are considered different ways of life, with a "nun" being a religious woman who lives a contemplative and cloistered life of meditation and prayer for the salvation of others, while a "religious sister", in religious institutes like Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity, lives an active vocation of both prayer and service, often to the needy, ill, poor, and uneducated.

10 CITAS EN INGLÉS CON «NUN»

Citas y frases célebres con la palabra nun.

1

Kate Atkinson

I'm trying to take more nothing time - and that means sacrificing doing. It's partly to do with age, partly to do with the fact that writing takes up a lot of space in your head. My ideal is to go back to when I was a child. My life is quieter than it used to be. More and more I don't really want to talk to people. I'd make a good nun, actually.

2

Donna Brazile

If I could have gotten my way at an early age, I would have entered the priesthood, but my mother informed me that I could not become a priest because I was a girl. It really was the biggest blow to my ego, because it was my calling. When she told me I'd have to be a nun, I looked at her and said, 'I'm not following anyone.'

Patricia Heaton

Christians - whether as a priest, a nun, a minister, whatever - have just been stereotyped to death. You try to be a model of kindness and love and forgiveness to all those around you, because you have received kindness and love and forgiveness from God through Christ. That's what Christianity is.
