NonNovi Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 - when you only told one teacher once that you're discerning and suddenly every teacher you have knows about it. - when you're looking at some books about religion and without doing anything special the owner asks: You must be a priest, isn't it? - when one of the fathers calls you and you just start smiling for half an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term "the bee's knees" is a term that was popular around the '50s and it basically implies something is really [i]c[/i]ool. I just use it because I'm lame.

PhuturePriest Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 - When your spiritual director (Who is a Priest) texts your father often to schedule meetings with you and to schedule days to train you in alter serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yay for altar serving! It helped me a lot to understand the meaning of the Mass, and what a grace it is to be so close to the mystery of our faith! Can't do without it anymore, I serve Mass everywhere. - when you see a book cover with a picture of a church interior and you immediately know wich church it is, without even actually having been there. - when people gossip about you becoming a priest. - when people advise other people who are struggling with their faith to talk to you about it, because you could possibly help them. - when you discover the real "sister Luke" lived in your city, before ànd after the convent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Without any training he had me help him serve a baptism he did (No Mass, just a baptism). It obviously didn't require much except telling me where to go or what to hold, but I enjoyed it so much and I hope he can teach me how to serve soon. After the baptism some of the family members came up to me and asked me if I was a Priest or was going to be. I could have died happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonNovi Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 - when you see pictures of a facebook friend who recently got ordained and get so jealous! - when a priest doesn't want to go to the ordinations of his order unless you accompany him (it's a 1000 km drive). - when you're really looking forward to these ordinations (wich also means a visit to the motherhouse), only 2 more weeks!
