Lisa Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Right. Dominican quote: [quote] None but you, Lord [/quote] At the end of his life, St. Thomas Aquinas was asked what reward he desired. He simply answered, "none but you." Wow. There's a preaching friars reflection on that. http://www.preachingfriars.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yay for preachingfriars.org. I know most of the brothers that do that! I used to go to their Vespers when I was in Saint Louis. By praying with them I learned and fell in love with Liturgy of the Hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AveMariaPurissima Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 [quote name='Lisa' timestamp='1337780052' post='2433954'] One month till pre-aspirancy week, around 90ish days till entrance!!!! Praise the Lord!!!! [/quote] Yay!!!!!!!!! How many are in your group so far? Hey Lisa -- I was just wondering...why do all the pre-aspirants every year have to make their own outfit? I mean, what happens to all the aspirant outfits of the previous groups? Why can't they just be "recycled" for the incoming aspirants (provided, of course, that they fit)?

Lisa Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Ave- I'd rather not say, just to maintain the privacy of those entering/discerning whether this year is right. It does appear our group will be over similar size of the classes from the past few years. I've had a few people ask me about that, and I really don't know the exact answer, but (plus I'm super excited about making mine so no complaints here!) my best guess is that they just get worn out. The community is large and they have some industrial-sized washing machines. Obviously, these do serious wear-and-tear on any clothing. After a year's washing, there wouldn't likely be enough that are still in good shape to pass on to the next class; they also might not be the right sizes. Long-term, who knows? I think they do keep ones that are in good shape though, and if something happens to mine, my guess is that they use those as backups. This is just my understanding, so I'm definitely not speaking officially, here! Edited May 23, 2012 by Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveMariaPurissima Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thanks for your reply. (It didn't occur to me that asking about the size of the group [i]was[/i] kind of nosy...sorry. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
