ofpheritup Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 So Nicole I am glad you had a nice time. What I would like to know is how did this experience help you grow as a person? What did you learn about yourself? Every retreat I have ever gone on I have come back with a little better awareness of who I was and what my sins were. Retreats are a great way to grow spiritually.

By visiting a community and seeing different types of charisms, i get a better understanding of what a religious Sisters is all about and what the community is all about too!!!! But how does it help me grow as a person, it helps me understand what it is i am called to do in my life, to be thankful for the people i have in my life, and for the things i have too!!!!! Now, for what i learned about myself, is that if i put my mind an heart inot thigns i can be happy while doing my job or helping others. I'm capable of doing more than what i think, thats what i was tryingt o say!!!!!! geez!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterDominicus Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Thats awesome, I'll be lucky sometimes if I have an event with Sisters and Nuns. : Speaking of which I got a personal dinner invitation to have dinner with Mother Regina Marie who is a Abbess of a Carmelite Monastery in California, she is coming here to MN on October. 28th, which is next week. *Shivers* Usually I average about four to five hours at our convent in Saint Paul, the Little Sisters of the Poor, whenever I get the chance of course since I cant quite drive yet. Its always fun, helping out the residents and the sisters. Onetime I helped out at a cookout it was about 98 degrees outside and the sun was hotter then heck. I was wearing a t-shirt and jeans! As everyone was setting up, it was time for the volunteers to eat, did I? No! While the volunteers were eating as well as the Hospitality Club, I was working! Like about 80% of the work I did. It was sooooooooooo fun though! But I tell you NEVER! Eat something HOT on a HOT day like that! Other then that I so often use my calling card and call some Sisters, or I help to coordinate a Vocations Camp for next Summer, I write stories of Saints, I write articles, poems, short stories, anythig really, and then I hangout with a stamped heart saying, "I LOVE YOU JESUS!" I'll often play guitar or listen to the Nashville Dominicans CD, to, then I really HANGOUT when I have events that have to do with Sisters. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to learn a little more about you thru your experience with the sisters. What you wrote was somewhat informative but does not really give any idea of who you are. 2) Geez ? This is coming across as defensive. About what? If i am wrong I apologize but you are coming across as immature. I asked a simple question. Your reply leaves me wondering.

[right][snapback]766559[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Dude, thats my favorite song off the CD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've met Sister Mary Emily, Sister Mary Angelica, Sister Mary Juliana, Sister Anne Francis, Sister Anna, Sister Anastasia, and Sister Veronica Anne. As in REAL LIFE! And not to long ago, I mean I've known Sister Mary Angelica since last year, but they've all sort of befriended me as I with them. A guy was talking about problems in his country Ireland, and Sister Mary Angelica, Sister Veronica Anne and myself as like, "Ahhhhh, thats horrible, so sad And then SMA was like, "I want to go to Ireland now." And SVA said the samething and I pointed to SMA and I'm like, "I'm coming with you!!!!" She laughed and nodded, and gave me the best compliment a future Dominican Sister could ever get!; "We have a postulant." Is what she said.
