Fool4Christ Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I am still in the process of discerning wether I have a religious vocation at all. Sometimes I think it is more my will to be a nun than God's. Sometimes I feel that God wants me to raise future religious rather than be one myself. At all times I'm very impatient with God. I am like a child who can't wait to open the gifts under the Christmas tree. I want to know what God wrapped up for me... right NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I can totally relate to you right now....I've been thinking maybe all my vocational discernment is to help others. I don't know. Right now my plan is to get a job and start thinking about a place to live, but mostly staying debt free so that if I do determine I'm being called to be a nun, I can drop everything and go.

ReginaCoeli Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Religious Sister. I chose "nun" too, even though I knew that was technically incorrect. I've been told all nuns are sisters, but not all sisters are nuns. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To keep it simple, we generally call the cloistered sisters nuns and the uncloistered, "active" sisters religious sisters. This is not exactly true but a handy convention nevertheless.
