kavalame Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'm not sure I really understand what is going on here. I joined because I am discerning a religious vocation and your group was recommended by a member of my parish. Some members have welcomed me, but others seem to be implying that I have broken some rules.....I'm totally at a loss as to what I should do. kavalame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some members have welcomed me, but others seem to be implying that I have broken some rules.....I'm totally at a loss as to what I should do. kavalame [/quote] I was not trying to imply that you broke any rules, it just seemed very odd that your screen name is very similar to an already established user, but I am not a moderator, so I cannot tell if it is against the rules. I apologize if I offended you. I'm glad that a member of your parish referred you here. There are a lot of resources available for those discerning a vocation and we offer a kind of "support group" for everyone discerning as well. I am not currently discerning a vocation to religious life, but I am still discerning the consecrated virginity or marriage. Would you like to tell us about yourself? If you have any questions, we'd love to help you answer them, such as what communities you are looking for and such. Again, I apologize if I was offensive, and welcome to Phatmass.

They have helped me out immensely and been very kind and welcoming. I am sure that Master, as she said, is truly sorry. The people on phatmass are good people who honestly want to help and will help if you ask. Please tell us about your discernment. I am very interested personally and I have found, as Master said, this place to be like a support group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briefly, I'm 19, live at home with my family and attend a Community College. I have felt called to be a nun since I was 14 years old, my folks aren't too happy and hope it is just a passing phase. I don't talk about it with them anymore. I really love Mother Angelica's nuns. They are so beautiful and have such a beautiful habit. kavalame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family is truly not happy about me becoming a sister. I personally am attracted to the Dominicans, I seem to fit well with them since they are little crazy like I am. lol. I don't talk about my discernment with my family either, I wait for them to bring it up and then I'll talk about it and I try and pretend I am not ecstatically happy about it. The advice I have been given is to pray and persevere and that is what I would tell you to do. If God is calling you He will provide. Thank you for sharing.

Sometimes dyslexia is funny and makes you read things funny, for instance there is some brand of chocolate I saw somewhere called Tante Chocolate and I read Tantric Chocolate. You know like the thing Sting does. Caused some interesting images to pop in my head. Chocolatiers doing weird yoga poses while making chocolate. Dyslexia is fun! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
