FutureSister2009 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 When you're excited that you'll be going on a retreat next month with a group of girls and staying in a Convent! We have called it a sleepover in the Convent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiquitunga Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 [quote name='LaPetiteSoeur' timestamp='1314710200' post='2297485'] When listening to the news, reading the paper, or reading online news and you hear: Nashville and think of the NDs Terre Haute and think of Carmelites Ann Arbor and think of the DSMME Cherry Hill and think of the LSIC NYC and think of the Sisters of Renewal and the SSVMs Alabama (anywhere) and think of the SSEWs New orleans and think of the Ursulines etc. [/quote] Totally! I do this especially with Carmels! I was thinking about the nuns in Brooklyn (and others of course!) all throughout the news before Hurricane Irene hit NYC. Praise God it wasn't too bad!

LaPetiteSoeur Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Also, when watching Notting Hill, you point out to your Methodist friend that "You know, there's a Carmelite Convent there that's pretty well know..." Yes, I did that on Saturday. And she thought that was pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresaThoma Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 You never leave home without your breviary and at least one rosary. (I am guilty of having up to 3 rosaries with me at one time. When I go on long trips it is more like 4 rosaries that come with me) You see a date and immediately think of the feast that is on that day.

FutureSister2009 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 When you have a picture of the Blessed Sacrament in the Monstrance from your Adoration Chapel at your Parish as the wallpaper of your cell phone so you can always look at your future Spouse When you're about to talk to Campus Ministry about doing SOMETHING for women Discerning Religious Life When you would rather use the money that's paying for your tuition to go on a Nun Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPetiteSoeur Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 When you've got a picture of your "home church" on your wall, just so you never forget it. When at university, you've got prayer cards of martyrs to remind you to be strong! (and seriously, my classes are not as hard as dying for my faith!)
