Catherine Therese Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 ...if having to select lay clothes every day is seriously penitential.(The habit in my past is one of the best gifts I ever received. I can't help but wonder if there mightn't still be one in my future?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I would give you more props CT, so totally agree.........for many many reasons I wish I could still wear the habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveMariaPurissima Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 You know you're a future Dominican or Franciscan if... ...when someone mentions our Holy Father Francis, you promptly ask, "Which one?" When you see a BlackBerry on someone's desk and you immediately think of that of Sr Joseph Andrew and how she uses it to respond to discerners in search of their vocation. I love these! :) I'd give them props but I ran out... When you have a Pinterest page devoted to nuns. (Come to think of it, I have two separate nun pages!)

AveMariaPurissima Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 When your idea of "alternative spring break" means visiting convents. (hopefully!!! :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 When you get REALLY excited that the place you will be volunteering/working at for the next year has Eucharistic chapels in each house and the staff prays Morning and Evening Prayer together.

Ancilla Domini Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Oh goodness, where do I start? 1. When you get a present, you think, "So, to whom do I give this when I enter?" 2. You keep "your" nuns' website open, even when you're not looking at it. 3. Every time you type the letter B into the url box on your computer, the first result is "Benedictines of Mary." 4. You get a kindle for Christmas, and the very first thing you buy is Thomas Aquinas' "On Prayer and the Contemplative Life." 5. You are shocked when you find a convent website (yes, any order) that you haven't seen before. 6. You give a start whenever the priest talks about poverty in his sermon.

TheresaThoma Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 You buy a nice cream colored sweater and wonder if it would be good for postulancy (I think it might be!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandelynmarie Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 ...when you have vacation time & spend a goodly part of it on silent retreats or personal retreats at monasteries :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) When part of what you're looking forward to over Christmas break (aside from visiting my brother) is visiting Sisters. (Not for discernment with them.) When you're flying and wonder how close you are to a certain community. (A community which shall not be named.)

VeniJesuAmorMi Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hello everyone who visits here. :wave: Please say a prayer for me as I am in the application stage to enter Carmel. I am praying for all of you discerning. A few thoughts from experience: Don't give up through any obstacles and be thankful through them all. When He permits obstacles and trials soon after we will see Him put all the pieces together to come to where we need to be both interior and exterior, wherever that may be for your vocation. Be always faithful. Thank you for your prayers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
