Maravillas Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I will keep her in my prayers! It is such a good news, and such a beautiful day to receive the habit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pax_et bonum Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I see her tomorrow. Any messages for her, put them here, and I'll pass them on. :) Could you ask her to pray for my parents? I'm in the application stage with Poor Clares, and my parents are still very opposed. ~Amanda (Pax et bonum) Thanks, beatitude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) I see her tomorrow. Any messages for her, put them here, and I'll pass them on. :) Beatitude--You are SO lucky (and blessed) to be able to be at Sister Faith's clothing. I have frequent flier miles, so I might have been able to make it to England, but my health, and responsibilities at home, prevent it. Please let Sister Faith know that I pray for her frequently, and her letter to me on my birthday was the nicest thing she could have done--it meant SOOO much, especially since I know that Sister Faith has friends who are much closer to her. As I see how God has blessed so many VS'ers, it helps me a lot. I have a very hard time believing that God is loving and personally interested and even more importantly, is invested in my welfare and happiness. When I see God blessing others, it is a reminder that God IS good, and not only that, IS personal.

beatitude Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I was her friend in 'real life' before she entered the monastery, which is the only reason why I'm able to go. I know one PMer looked into travelling from overseas, but was told by the prioress that it would be better to wait until profession, which is a more public ceremony. I will pray that you're fit and healthy and able to make it over here for that, Iggy. I will pass on everything you've said. If anyone wants to write down messages for me to print off and take, I'll do that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresaThoma Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Its is today!!!!!!!! (or was today I think it is like 6pm there if I did my math right). So excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I know! I am so excited for her! Last night we had a mass and reception into formation for one of our Secular Order members (a 79 year old lady, by the way... who beamed and looked 20 years younger last night!!!!). As the Formation Director for our community, I had the privilege of assisting the priest clothe our Member with the big scapular (which is our 'habit') --- and I realized about half-way through the Admission to Formation that Sr. FaithCecilia' 'clothing' might be taking place at the exact same time... and it literally gave me goosebumps. The Holy Spirit is a great one on timing.... all in God's timing.... I keep checking the Nottinghill Carmel for pics, but none yet... I bet their stats blip the way they did when she entered!!!!!

emmaberry101 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Amazing AnneLine! Yes, I would not be surprised if the site crashed, though that might be an exaggeration of numbers...Who knows, though, with Sr Faith's popularity?! I didn't even know her and I am excited for her clothing. What a blessing to be present beatitude! I only ask for deets afterward if that is not too nosy. Thank you!

AnneLine Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 The Sisters made a big deal of it when she entered -- their stats jumped by some HUGE percentage if I remember correctly -- hundreds or thousands of percentage points or something.... some enterprising Phatmasser could check the 'faithcecilia' thread but I am lazy....
