OnlySunshine Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I wonder how many will return with papers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Just a thought... I wouldn't pressure any of them to talk about this. Discerning can be hard without feeling like you are doing it in a fishbowl, know what I mean? Just pray hard for them and let them share with us what they are comfortable sharing. My 2 cents... others may see this differently....

I just thought about it last night and I know that some women go to the retreat and leave with a sense of peace. It's also where many of them receive their papers. I would never pressure anyone to say anything they were not comfortable about. Look at my own situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 I know, Mater, and I hesitated before I posted that... but not everyone will think of that immediately, not having had your experience. I hope they ALL had a wonderful experience, and it would be WONDERFUL if many -- or all! -- some back ready to apply. But most of all... I pray that all of them come back deeply, firmly and VERY CLEARLY in love with Our Lord!!!! Mater, you are my heroine... I would NEVER discount what you wrote, ok?

Pax_et bonum Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yes, thank you all for your prayers! I already have Franciscan papers so... I did meet a couple of girls who received papers, but unless LittleWaySoul has something to tell us, I don't think any pm'ers came back with papers. Maybe lil'mon will come back with them next retreat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscerningCatholic Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 You got a t-shirt? They give out t-shirts at even discernment retreats? Hmmm. I wish I could say that I might come back with papers...but...I'm too young still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
