DiscerningCatholic Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yeah, in Ave Maria, FL. :) Not sure if I'll be able to visit them, but I'm praying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary's Child Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 When you are super excited to go to daily mass with others of your family, and not just by yourself as you often do. When an amazingly good day consists of getting a new rosary, seeing a relic of your favorite saint, going to mass, adoration and confession. Then a yummy dinner to top it off :) . When no one acts surprised on learning you are discerning. When others on your youth ministry core team regularly ask you when you leave :EEK: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscerningCatholic Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 When I first told my priest about my discernment, he said, "When?" I said, "When what?" He said again, "When?" I said again, "When WHAT?" He said, "When are you entering?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary's Child Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 When you want to say morning prayer first thing in the morning. When you look at not being able to sleep as a "unexpected vigil with Jesus" rather than being upset about not sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spem in alium Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 When you leave an elderly Polish Sister talking with your family while getting ready to leave the convent, and find out that the Sister has told your family that the community loves you and wants to keep you. :) When you say goodbye to this Sister and she says: "You're leaving? Stay! We're best friends! I'll miss you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Oh, and another (kind of funny) one: When you get your hair cut short. The Sisters notice. Your friends do not :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay! We're best friends! I'll miss you!" I know right both of these have happened to me recently. :) On my first visit with my sisters at the end Mother asked me if Id like a vocation interest form I was like :winner: . There novice had to leave during breakfast for a confirmation class she was teaching and we were gone at mass when she came back but we had to come back for a few minutes to get some things and as soon as she saw us she was like "oh does this mean your staying?" :hehe: :nun1: As I was saying good bye to the novice mistress after my second visit she was like "not our Marys Child" :cupid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Haha! I love it. This Sister looked like she was about to cry at the thought of me going home with my parents. :P When the Sisters go and meet your parents so that, in their words, "Your mum and dad won't think we're abducting you." :hehe2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
