stuckinamo Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Have you guys seen or heard of the "Vision" discerment guide magazine? I just got it at a vocations dinner at a retreat i was at last weekend. It was the first I had seen or heard of it!! It has some pretty interesting articles, but I've noticed that a lot of the nuns who write some of the articles don't wear habits!! (THat always bothers me. Why do some not wear them!? It's a reminder to the world and themselves that God is REAL!) Anywho, what do you all think of it!? Have you heard of it before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearundercontrol Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yeah, it does have some good articles in it sometimes. I like looking through it and finding the different communities that I know. And I always get excited every time I see an ad for a religious community of Sisters that wear their habits.

shortnun Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I believe it's the first "real" piece of discernment literature I ever got--that was back in high school when the internet wasn't really big, I was hiding my discernment from my parents, etc. It was so very helpful to me.

Granted, if He calls me to contemplative, I'll follow...He knows what is best. But man. That must have been such a sacrifice for you! okay i've just written a novel. sorry. but thank you, Sr. Mary Catherine!!

HeavenlyCalling Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Sister that was a wonderful article! Now I HAVE to read Amata means Beloved, I have been planning to for a while, but reading this just forces me to! The whole magazine is cool, really. I'm glad I can read it online, though, I am still hiding my vocation from my siblings : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thank you all, for your kind comments. I'm glad you liked the article and that it didn't scare you! Of course, I think reading AMATA is a good idea, too! : God bless you all! Good night! SMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeresaAvila Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I do not subscribe to vision magazine, but when I was first discerning, my priest gave me a copy of it and it had some good articles in it, and right now my computer is being fussy and won't let me down load this article by Sister Catharine I'll have to try to read it later, but might I ask, what is Amata Means Beloved? God Bless You! [quote name='HeavenlyCalling' post='1116367' date='Nov 9 2006, 07:43 PM'] Sister that was a wonderful article!
