God and Urine Save Nuns Trapped in Lift for 3 Days, Prayer kept them

What can two nuns do if they’re stuck in an elevator alone, with no phones, no food, and no water? The answer is what you’d expect — they prayed of course.

But surviving getting stuck in an elevator in Rome,

Italy, where temperatures over the weekend skyrocketed to 100 degrees, needed more than just prayers. They also needed pee.

Two Roman Catholic nuns have survived being stuck in a hot Rome elevator for three stifling days by praying and drinking their own urine.
The two nuns, from Ireland and New Zealand, were by themselves in a four-story residence for nuns near the Vatican last Friday afternoon when they got into the elevator, Rome’s La Repubblica newspaper reported Monday. They took the elevator and then a power failure caused it to stop — and get stuck — between floors.
The nuns, which the Italian press said were 58 and 68 years old, had left their cellphones in their rooms and so were unable to call for help. The only item they had with them were their rosary beads for prayers. And their urine for drinking.
