Spem in alium Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 "I 'want' to be a nun so I don't have to work." I really heard that from someone when I was starting to discern, they were like I don't like to have to pay the electric bill. :unsure: Your vows are so....archaic. Can't I just invent my own and take those? I love your order, but I really hate your apostolate. You guys need a serious revamp. Why is formation so long? I'm already sure I want to be a nun. Can't I just make my perpetual profession now??!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Do I really have to give up chocolate? Those nun shoes are so ugly. Can I wear my Jimmy Choos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I can't live here. It's too confining. Our community name is too long. Can't we change it to something better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunsuch Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I know I'm a little old to be a postulant, but I think your monastery would be a great place to retire to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marigold Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 All ora, no labora, hahahahahaha! I was chuckling along as I read these, but I was also thinking, oh dear, I've heard almost all of them in one form or another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 These colors are so drab. Can I wear my hot pink tights? Can I keep my nose ring? I don't like Sister (insert name here). Do I really have to live with her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo in Deum Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 What do you mean I can't bring all six cats with me? Probably wouldn't be a deal breaker if the person wanted to join a Franciscan community. :hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Can I bring my pet snakes? I don't like spiritual reading so can I read Harry Potter instead? Is it OK if I stay up until midnight? I can't sleep earlier than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 What's with the Grand Silence? You mean I can't listen to music or talk on the phone? Can I bring my laptop with me to watch Netflix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
