veroni213 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I'm going to visit the CFRs on Sunday. I'm kind of excited because I've been trying to arrange this for a while but it didn't work out before now. ( When I was available, they weren't and when they were available I wasn't.) Also, it's my first real convent visit. Unfortunately, my parents are getting a little wierd about the visit. Maybe my the idea of my discernment is finally becoming real to them?

franciscanheart Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 My mom acted strange the day I left too.. completely unlike herself. It does make it more real for them. It'll make it more real for you too. Prayers for a most blessed visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavenlyCalling Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Yeah, I can see how it would be a little wierd for your mom. I think my parents kinda think it's a phase, and going off to accually visit a convent would definatly bring it home for them. Prayers for them and for you, I hope you have a good time, how long will you be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veroni213 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Thanks everybody. [quote]how long will you be there?[/quote] I'm going for four days, so I'll be back on Wednesday. What's weird about my mother is that she doesn't want [i][b]anyone[/b][/i] to know about my visit. A few of my friends from college know about my discernment, but very few people at home do because I can't tell members of my extended family. Yesterday, when I my mother found out that my two best friends from high school know about my visit she almost flipped out. Today she told me that the "alibi" I'm giving to my co-workers and extended family wasn't good enough. I don't really care if my co-workers find out and I know my family won't question the "alibi." It was a strange conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we can all appreciate not sharing much of anything when you first return but in the coming weeks and months when you get time to really sit and sort things out (think and pray), I do hope you'll share your experience with us.
