RosaMystica Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hey Pham, Well, I'm entering the convent in four days! I've had a really tough time with discernment and figuring out where Christ wants me to be, but I'm completely at peace with where I will be going. I'm going to be entering with the Chaldean Daughters of Mary Immaculate. They don't have a website but I do have some pictures of them on my [url="http://www.xanga.com/MandyKhatoon"]blog[/url]. There are three of us entering this Monday and we will be the first American born vocations and first vocations within the United States. It's pretty exciting especially since our Patriarch is here from Iraq and he will be presiding over our entrance ceremony and consecrating our chapel in our novitiate. Please, please, please keep us in your prayers! I would also like to thank you all for all the posts and comments you put on this forum. You all have helped me to learn so much about discernment and different religious orders and vocations. I'm really going to miss coming on here and checking out all the posts! I'm going to be praying for all of you! God bless you all! In the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just find out about this recently, that you would be going so soon? I will be praying for you! I have never heard of your Order before now. I pray that you and the other young women entering with you will be very happy. God bless you for following God's will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lords sheep Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 God Bless you for being so open in your discernment. It's been a blessing for me to watch you as you learned to abandon yourself to his will. Pray for me that I may learn the same abandon. You will be in my prayers!

DameAgnes Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Oh, Mandy I am SO happy for you! I remember how you were struggling with whether to enter the SMME's last August or follow your Chaldean call - I'm so glad you have found your path and will remember your intentions in all my prayers. You sound wonderfully at peace with this direction, and I pray your entrance brings you great joy in service to Christ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which spirituality do they follow? Blessings, Gemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
