awyers Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Please pray for me as I have been accepted to go on a retreat with the beautiful Benedictines of Mary (a feat in an of itself given my age, Canadianinity, and past religious life experience) and am praying about dates - wont be until the fall at least but I am excited and nervous! And for those who haven't seen these beautiful videos I stumbled upon enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2c81LBMpMg&feature=youtube_gdata_player http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfE7wY2JpiE&feature=youtube_gdata_player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spem in alium Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Praying for you! I've never heard of this particular order so I visited their website - they sound like a very beautiful and humble community. May the Lord fill you with His strength and peace as you continue on your journey forwards. God bless. Edited May 4, 2012 by Spem in alium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 [quote name='Piobaire' timestamp='1336175881' post='2427234'] Thank you for the prayers!! I am....deep breath....30 lol! Not that old given I was 25 when I had the first inkling of a call but for some orders once you hit 3... you are considered 'mature'. [/quote] Oy vey! Sounds like we are in almost the same boat. I didn't get my calling until I was 24 and I'm going to be 29 in July. One order said that if I wanted to enter, I needed to enter within the next year or so or I'd reach their cut-off! My friend is 52 and just entered a religious order in New England. She had the worst problem trying to contact orders because, once they heard her age, they told her there was no way they would consider her. She tried to go to England last year but her health deteriorated because of an autoimmune disorder. She left them and then was accepted to 2 orders. The one she just entered was one of the ones she contacted about 4 or 5 months before she left and her email kept circling and got lost until she returned. It was so weird. I'm really happy that she found a place in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
