I Think This Is It......

So after two full years of consistent discernment & three years [prior] of sporadic discernment, I truly feel that God is calling me to religious life. In particular, the Salesian Sisters of St John Bosco (Daughters of Mary Help of Christians). While I have definitely had my share of challenges, through it all He has been there to guide me & just love me unconditionally. And it has been through these experiences, as well as retreats/Come & Sees that the Lord's call in my life has become more apparent.

When I visit the Salesians again in February, I plan to ask for papers to enter. While I know that nothing is ever final, I truly feel that this is where God wants me. I know it won't be easy, but I also know that God doesn't give you something without also giving you the grace to carry it out.

All I ask from you all is prayers......lots of them. You are definitely all in mine & you have all been so supportive of me despite whatever has been going on in my home life.

I actually vowed then and there that I was adopting him as my patron Saint! Is that possible?? Or does one have to have a same sex Saint?...:-\

 I have seen it actually. He really was an AWESOME person & he so inspired me to do so many things when I was in high school as the the youth group leader.

And I am pretty sure that thats possible.....especially because if you have the feminine version of a name, the initial saint becomes your patron (I think).......I could be 150% wrong.

I love the Salesians so much though! :)

Katie...you don't have any thing to lose by going to visit! You won't know unless you try!! Either that or try to figure out what is driving the the "chicken" part of your feelings. Your heart is in the right place!! St. John Bosco would welcome you with open arms I'm sure!! O;-)
