Discernment

[Golden Years]

Discernment: not this, or this, but that.  Didn't know it was going to be such a long, and sometimes confusing, process.  But it is. 

 

However, I think I have finally discerned that I am not called to be cloistered, but to be an extern sister to a cloistered community.  Which narrows down my choices considerably, but I also believe I have found the community to which I am called.  So much so, that even if their prioress says no to my request to be considered, I might move there anyway just to be close to them and maybe join their third order and just hang out and become a permanent fixture in their chapel.  Anyway, please pray that God's will be done and that I can gracefully accept whatever happens.  And however long it takes, that I will be patient and have faith and hope and perseverance and not despair.  Thank you all so much!
