TeresaBenedicta Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Oh man. I can't stop smiling! Soooooooooo, I go to Mass this morning, grudgingly dragging myself out of bed to make the morning Mass at my parish (all the noon Masses are a good 20/30 minutes away). I'm sitting in the second to last pew with one of my friends who will be entering the Poor Clares in a few weeks. Aaaand Mass starts, and out of the corner of my eye I see the graceful flow of something white enter the pew behind me. I recognized that habit immediately!!! A Dominican of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist!!! I could scarcely contain my excitement as I grinned to my friend beside me. And I got to talk with the Sister after Mass!!! And it was wonderful!!! And I am soooo full of joy right now!!! She's making her final vows on August 4th!!!! Apparentally she grew up going to the dominican parish about 1/2 hr from where I live, and she's out visiting her family, and one of her best friends goes to my parish! Wonderful!! God is good!!! I was just on their website last night!!! AND I dreamt about them. Hmm... Just thought I'd share my joy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she is wonderful!!! I'm not exactly accustomed to seeing religious when I'm home, lol. Back at school it's not so uncommon of an experience... but definitely rare at home!

DameAgnes Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 "Sr. Maria Frassati" - what a cool name? For Pier Giorgio, obviously. I've never heard it as a religious name before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Pier" means "wurm" in my language, so I wasn't about to name myself Pier Giorgio, but "Frassati" is pretty cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pier Giorgio, we used to make a lot of comments to her on how good-looking her patron is! [quote name='AbsconditaInDeo' post='1890669' date='Jun 14 2009, 07:53 PM']She has cool glasses[/quote] they are her trademark. I remember she tried on a different pair for a couple days.

VeniteAdoremus Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 *scratches head* Wasn't there a Sr. Maria Frassati at Nashville? I read entirely too much Sister gossip. Anyway. Bl. Pier Giorgio certainly is good-looking I used to tell my sister this and she said I was shallow. Probably because St. Benedict isn't half as good-looking.

His coolness (which includes seeing things at an otherwise impossible distance, beat that, St. Clare, and completely snazzy exorcism skillz) surpasses mere "good looks."

Although we are in agreement on the exorcism skills. To get back on topic, does anyone have a picture of the good sister's glasses?
