LadyOfSorrows Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Oh Vee, I can see how that would be frustrating! I'll keep you in prayer. I hope you receive an answer very soon! I'm sure they wouldn't leave you hanging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 [quote name='vee8' timestamp='1286233577' post='2177859'] I just sent them a gentle nudge I simply let them know that if they have sent me anything I have not received it. I also repeated my question about the live in and that Id like to hear from them even if the answer is no. I prayed the Veni creator before I wrote hmm maybe I should do a litany of saints too just to enlist some help in making them write back! Off to pray! [/quote] Just my two cents, but as their site does not list an email address, just an online form to complete, my bet would be that they don't check this very often. If you are really interested, then I strongly suggest a phone call to them. All you have to ask is whether they received your online message or not. If they did, you know you need more patience. If they didn't, you know that all the waiting in the world isn't going to get you a reply. Phone calls are hard, but most Carmels use this form of communication more frequently than online ones, and when I was discerning with this community several years ago, they phoned me back very quickly. At the least, you could leave a message on their answering machine I wish you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Maybe you could try to see it as a sacrifice that you are offering up to Our Lord. Even He sweat blood before His Passion, so He knows what fear and distress are, and will help you. It could also be seen as an act of humility. If this is hard, how are you going to stand the life itself?? It is one of continual small sacrifices over and over and over again. Be brave and do it. A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave [wo]man dies but once. Edited October 6, 2010 by nunsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaudi87 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 How exciting for all those who entered or are entering! My prayers go out to all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Arms of The Lord Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Three more weeks now until I enter! It will come so quickly; it's already been three months since I made the visit, and it doesn't seem that was that long ago. Another girl entered this monastery today. I'm excited to meet the community! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
