Totus Tuus Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 [quote name='jgirl' date='Jan 2 2005, 09:40 PM'] I will definitely send greetings from you guys! They totally glow. What's random is the last time I went down to see them, I was at an Annemariea Schmidt retreat. My flights were delayed about 9 hours, so instead of getting in around 3 pm on Friday, I got in around 1 am! Sister Marie Bernadette and Sister Louise Marie still picked me up! I was so dead tired by the time breakfast came around because my roommate snored (the Sisters let me sleep through morning prayer and Mass). I totally zoned out during breakfast, listened to the first talk of the day and then went back to bed. I didn't really talk to anybody that day because I spent it sleeping, but then on Sunday during lunch, these women I was sitting with were talking about being Hurricane Refugees, and one of them just stopped and looked at me. She said, "I think you have a vocation! These sisters glow, and darlin' you're glowing right now!" So the entire table started talking about how I, a stranger to them, had a vocation. It was really kind of weird. I just hope that my flight isn't delayed so long this time, so I can get more out of it, although I think it would be kind of humorous if I had such an extended delay again.

daugher-of-Mary Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 yep! Only I hadn't met her until we got picked up by the Sisters and their minivan at the airport... Sister commented, "well, it looks like we've picked up the Visitation!" Yours in Christ- Elizabeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totus Tuus Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 I remember when you two were introduced, sister was like "Meet the Visitation!" (I, being slow, was SO confused. Until it clocked). We should start a thread on Nun funniness. I have some stooories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think her PM name was Veritas99. So glad to see she's become a novice--thanks for the post, Dame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Marx Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I met Sr. Louise Marie and Sr. Mary Anthony at the last "Ignite Your Torch" conference in Kentucky. They are very nice and so open! I've decided to go to Casa... someday. Hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah147 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Tally, I love your photo. Is that Saint Francis? He looks so in love! Love it! Edited August 3, 2010 by JoyfulLife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Marx Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 JoyfulLife, yes, it's Saint Francis. I always think this is how he must have looked when he got the stigmata. I imagine he was staring at the crucifix. Thanx! I like your photo, too. Baby Jesus just seems to be saying, "I love my mom! Don't you wish you had her, too?" Pax!
