So I "one-up'ed" him (politely, of course-- we didn't have any tense moments in our conversation) in telling him that my testimony is just as strong and that's why I'm going to be a missionary for my whole life, as a nun (well, sister)!! Haha, it was pretty funny. We all laughed. [/quote] You may only find out in heaven but I pray they will be your first (of many) converts. Of course it's God that does the real work and you are just an instrument but you know what I mean. Edited June 4, 2010 by vee8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, maybe I would need a few years steeped in being an actual Dominican before branching out to found another Dominican community (like the DSMMEs from the Nashvilles)... since before founding a new community, you must be formed somewhat in another, right? I have no idea how all of the "founding" stuff works out. I wish Fr. Manelli, FI would do it for us (or find a super-holy Dominican to do it). Hahaha! I don't trust myself to hear God's voice clearly enough for that kind of work! Maybe God will inspire someone to carry this out... There already exists the Benedictines of the Immaculate. If the Dominicans of the Immaculate became a reality... I don't know what I'd do with myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTheresa Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 So, where would you start it? I mean, what diocese, ( if you could choose) and what type of setting? Would you want it to be inner city (like the FSRs) on a nice hill overlooking a city ( like mine ) or out in the country ( like the DSMMEs) ? Of course, you would need plenty of room for Vee's shrubbery. Not like it matters; Divine Providence usually decides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I'd really like to start somewhere in Europe (or in the U.S.)... maybe England because English is my first language. I believe so much in the re-evangelization of Europe. It would be epic. Bring back the Light of Christ as burst forth in the Middle Ages! I would want the formation houses to be in the country -- perhaps this is where vee8 will keep her shrubbery, which will be very well attended! I think being out in the country could help immensely in nurturing one's vocation in the initial stages. And maybe the apostolic year novitiate could have a house in Rome as well, the Heart of the Church. As for the other houses, Divine Providence would decide where the mission houses should be. Hmmm... Actually, you know... I think it would be really awesome to have the Dominicans of the Immaculate founded in Prouille, France.
