Klaudi87 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 [quote name='Staretz' timestamp='1289184548' post='2185654'] Don't you have homework to do? seriously though, there have been people who asked me if i was an ex-MONK before I joined up, so it seems logical to assume that some ladies would be asked if they were ex-nuns before joining up. [/quote] This is true...i get that from family members who don't know Im discerning. As a matter of fact just yesterday I had a family babyshower and I was called nun by an uncle and another one told me "When you marry Jesus....." (I dont remember what else he said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPetiteSoeur Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 When your theology professor says "You are so ready for the convent!" Too bad I have four to five more years to go! Maybe I'll be super prepared... Dieu vous benisse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinter dem Horizont Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 You know you're going to be a priest when... You constantly picture yourself wearing the collar or cassock All you watch on youtube are vocation videos You pretend you're at the altar preaching the sermon (I do these things all the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Haha! I don't feel called to be a [i]nun[/i] either. I have "cloisterphobia" and, besides, my friends and family have threatened to abduct me and lock me in a dungeon somewhere if I show signs of wanting to enter the cloister... How they consider my living in another country or state much better... but I don't point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithLuin Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 - People who don't even know you think you are discerning. Apparently, some of my students passed around the rumor that I am 'studying to be a nun.' I have no idea what started that, though they did have a sister visit their religion classes to talk about vocations last week. So, I know why they have nuns 'on the brain' (we don't have any teaching at our school, though one teacher is an ex-nun). But I quashed that rumor right away by saying 'No.' And then added a moment later, 'But my sister is.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Arms of The Lord Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 You know when your a future religious when there is nothing and no one else that could capture your heart away from the gaze of Jesus. You just know that you would not trade a moment alone with Him for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
