Some may see this as being 'cute' and 'fluffy' but it's a good way to approach young women today. God is still calling people to the ordained Priesthood and Religious life. It's up to us to help those being called to recognise the factor at least to be open to the possibility.
I am all for encouraging vocations but I don't think not having to decide what to wear each day is a sufficient reason for becoming a nun! However I do accept that this is obviously a lighthearted approach.
It reminds me of a cartoon I once saw showing a pensive nun, in traditional habit, looking at her rack of clothes containing a row of identical habits and saying 'Now what shall I wear tomorrow?'

Well Pelerin if that's not sufficient there are 286 more reasons apparently.
