DameAgnes Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Again and again I am struck by how joyful this community of Passionist nuns seems. Are any PMers discerning with them? http://www.passionistnuns.org/blog/?p=249 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did consider the Passionists when I started looking at communities. Such beautiful souls, and so real and full of compassion. I would suggest anyone discerning the contemplative life include the Passionists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSister2009 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 That's really cute. Sometimes I wish I was called to a cloistered life, But I know for a fact that I wouldn't last one day as a cloister! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargaretTeresa Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I am discerning amongst two actives (DSMME and FSP) and a contemplative (Terr Haute Carmel). I feel like this . Right now I am reading the packet from the FSP I got today!!!

Pax_et bonum Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I discerned that I'm not called to their order, but I'm still in touch with the vocation director Sr. John Mary. So cute! They have they funniest things on their blog. I like "How Do You Solve a Problem Like the Papacy" [quote][i]He says he's old and has a cold, the Alps are much too high. [/i] [i]To leave his home in Avignon would surely make him sigh. [/i] [i]His French curia tells him that Rome is a pigsty. Besides, he doesn't speak any Italian. [/i] [i]How do you solve a problem like the papacy? How do you pin a flighty pontiff down? How do you find a way to say "Get back here!"? You're bishop of Rome! You're needed at home! Right now! Oh, how do you solve a problem like the papacy? How do you pin a flighty pontiff down? [/i] [i]When I'm with him I'm disturbed, out of patience and perturbed, and I want to throw the cardinals out the door. [/i] [i]Unpredictable as weather, he says one thing, then another. He's discerning. He lacks backbone! He needs prayer. [/i] [i]He'd outpester any pest, drive a hornet from its nest. He could drive the saints and blessed to lose hope! [/i] [i]He is gentle, he is mild. He's our papa, we're his child. He's a headache! He's a hero! He's the pope! [/i] [i]How do you solve a problem like the papacy? How do you pin a flighty pontiff down? How do you find a way to say "Get back here!"? You're bishop of Rome! You're needed at home! Right now! Oh, how do you solve a problem like the papacy?
