Maybe she was tired of being judged on her looks?

Good move regardless. 🙂

And in her old age, which will happen before she knows it, her spirit might be as blessed as Mother Teresa’s and MTs great friend St John Paul II. 🙂

Not that there’s anything wrong with good, faithful marriage. 🤷
 
This reminds me of the film actress Dolores Hart who back in the sixties gave up Hollywood fame to become a Benedictine nun…later to become Mother Dolores Hart at a Benedictine Monastery.

The point is that she found LASTING beauty. 🙂
 
I would say God bless her, but I think He already has.

The 3 nuns look radiant. You can see there is so much joy there.
