Monks and nuns promise to live their entire lives within their religious communities because they are dedicated to a life of prayer, service, and devotion to God. By making a lifelong commitment to their religious community, they are able to fully devote themselves to their spiritual path and fulfill their vows of poverty, obedience, and chastity. This commitment also allows them to live in community with like-minded individuals who share their beliefs and support them in their spiritual journey.
