shortnun Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 [quote name='be_thou_my_vision' post='1056315' date='Sep 3 2006, 09:44 PM'] Hi everyone, I got back from another day visit with the Carmelites. The dear Lord has shown me this summer that I am called to try religious life. If I rebelled and got married without trying, I would not be fulfilled. I would always wonder about the religious life, and therefore not be able to fully be a wife and mother. I don't know where or when I am called to go. The idea of Carmel is not so scary. So that's good, but I need to find out if I am called to the active or contemplative life. There is something undying and rich about Carmel, but I love the SMME spirit and vitality. So it's up to God now, please pray for me friends. Jenny [/quote] I remember this thread! It seems like ages ago since you first visited, but really it was only a few months. Blessings for you as you gain a clearer understanding of God's will for your life. May you continue to be abundantly blessed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

be_thou_my_vision Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Yes I did, but I believe I am called to the active/contemplative life. I think the Carmelite nun that I talked to is a fantastic spiritual director, and I may go back just for the spiritual direction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
