Serena Grandi and Faith: "I will become a lay nun"

'I will be a lay nun, with faith I have overcome the problems' these are the words of Serena grandi, the actress he worked for Red Brass and which in the eighties reached its maximum popularity.

From abuse to cancer, pain has brought Serena Grandi closer to God

In the course of her private life, Serena Grandi, 63, an actress who was very popular in the 80s for her appearances in erotic cinema films, had to go through quite a few painful events that led her to seek the hand of God. .

In the last episode of Verissimo, the actress confessed to the sexual abuse she suffered during childhood but also the threats suffered by the two ex-boyfriends who were then reported.

A balance lost and rediscovered in faith, in closeness to the love of God. An inexplicable serenity, not comparable to the earthly one that in recent years has made Serena Grandi mature the desire to become a lay nun.

"A couple of months ago I started a path that could lead me to be a lay nun", the reason for this choice is explained to the La Repubblica interviewer: to devote myself "to others, heal the spirit and keep souls away from consumerism . Because after I lost it, I have found God".

Become lay nun it does not mean joining a religious institute or a convent. Rather, it is tantamount to making a vow of chastity, poverty and obedience by choosing to live in your own home and doing decent work to support yourself while remaining consecrated to God.

This journey - for the actress - began in Word of Grace church in Riccione, as we have already mentioned, the desire had matured for some time but it materialized after the meeting with a Brazilian pastor who would have motivated her to make the choice.

The same choice, after all, that his colleague Claudia Koll accomplished - as the actress ironically recalls in the interview: “Just like Koll. Could it be Tinto Brass's fault? ".
