Kylie Spinelli Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) You know when you're a future nun when... You want to grow your hair long so it's wicked symbolic and dramatic when you chop it off to receive the habit! You get frustrated when your parents won't let you go to morning Mass. You hide your vocations (links) bookmarks in your "shopping" folder. You think of nuns every time you hear the word habit.

After much recommendation from my spiritual adviser I have been discerning with the Benedictine Monks in Oklahoma, so Benedictines are good too. As long as you're not going to be a dirty Dominican...

I've worn my hair short for quite some time now and I want to grow it out for a change. Then, tonight, I thought that it would be awesome if my hair could be cut while it's long if I enter religious life (God-willing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 ...when all your thoughts lead to living a life with the Sisters you are discerning with, especially about what your mission will be if/when you enter. ...when you look to the saints for inspiration and find yourself filled with holy envy, especially those who you grow close to like St. Therese, St. Faustina, St. Rose, and St. Catherine. ...when all your thoughts are consumed with excitement about starting the aspirancy process, even if it means surrendering plans of going to school.

OnlySunshine Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 ...when you see a Sister in an airport and immediately know which order she is from. I saw a Nashville Dominican in the airport I was stopping at for my layover. Incidentally, I was on my way to Alma, MI to visit the Religious Sisters of Mercy. Too cool!

StClare_OraProNobis Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Mater- What is "holy envy?" I have heard that phrase before but I don't understand what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The way it's described is recognizing elements in the saint that you admire and wish could, in some way, be reflected in your own faith life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
