Carmelite4christ Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I was wondering too, what's wonderful story that was shared. I remember meeting a lovely Dominican sister who I became friends with, and she was in a nursing home, she could be my grandmother, and I seen pictures of her when she was young, what a beautiful girl she was back in the day. my father also agreed. Lol. But what impressed me about her was her story, she had a young man who interested in taking her out, but she wasn't sure. Eventually she got sick with meningitis and as she was hospitalized, she prayed and said to the lord, if I get better, I will become a nun and serve you. Well, she got better and indeed became a Dominican nun, her words made a big impression on my heart. Her words were, (I became a nun and was never sorry! ) We all have different vocations, different work to do for god. Another nun,a Franciscan, i met on a youth retreat one time, (then at the time I wanted to be a nun, )and she put her thumbs up, and said.. Jesus.. he's all that matters. Even though I didn't become a nun, it doesn't mean we can't love and serve God, as a nun does. True, they are single hearted for the lord and have less distractions, I think because they don't have to deal with the pressures of the world. But we can love Jesus with all of our heart, in the vocation he calls us to. I pray for the rest of my life those words from those nuns will always leave an impression on my heart in how I want to live for Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
