Yay! What a wonderful Christmas you will have! You know it is short, but I'll tell ya, if its the right community, it is enough to know! In fact, a couple hours was enough for me to know.

May God grant you Christmas blessings and clear discernment on your visit.

Woohoo!!! Congratulations! I am planning on visiting them sometime after Christmas, depending on if I get enough money as gifts. 

 

So excited for you! Be sure to let us know how it goes! :)

I cannot explain how much that speaks to my heart. :love: 

As does this. 
"Mother, I ask you to accept my promise to live a chaste life out of profound love for Jesus, the Spouse of my soul, to live a life of poverty so that I may be attached to nothing or no one except my Lord, to live a life of obedience to Holy Church, embracing and obeying all she teaches and prescribes, not as a slave bound out of fear, but as a child of Mary who finds joy and freedom in lovingly striving to please God by obeying His Church. 

I promise to pray for our bishop, for abundant and holy priests, and to pray for the fulfillment of God’s desire for the Enthronement of the Living and Sacred Heart of Jesus on the altars of the world, that He may be loved and adored by His people, and peace may come to earth.”

Thank you Mary's Little Flower. 

So ever since I talked to Sister Philomena Maria on the phone for the first time and she got the really short this is how I started discerning religious life and this is (the brief story of) how I found your community story I've felt like I need to tell her the more in depth version of the story. I thought first I would email it to her but it was too hard to express and too long to put in an email so then I thought I would just tell her the first time I meet her but that didn't seem right either. On Saturday I was speaking to a friend of mine who's a religious sister of mercy of Alma and she more or less said "just do it! Just be honest with her and you'll feel a lot better!" So I emailed her a few days ago asking if we could speak on the phone again and, of course, she called during the five minutes I was away from my phone today. She left a message asking that I call her back but I have really bad phone phobia. I really hate talking on the phone to people I've never met particularly about my discernment. So I finally got up the nerve to call her and she wasn't available so I have to call back again in about half an hour. I'm so nervous about this but I know I won't feel peaceful about going to visit unless I do. 

YIKES! :eek: I would really appreciate any prayers!
