SponsaChristi Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 [quote name='the lords sheep' date='29 June 2009 - 10:41 PM' timestamp='1246304512' post='1905442'] Ciao All! I've been hesitating to post on where I'm entering for privacy reasons, but as I REALLY need the prayers, I'll let you in on my secret. I will be entering (God willing) the <a href="http://www.rsmofalma.org" target="_blank"> Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma, MI</a> on September 8 (in case you're wondering, that's 72 days from now <img src="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/D.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="D.gif" /> ) Please pray for me as I move back to the North American continent and prepare to enter. God bless you all! Thanks for your prayers! In Christ, Lauren ps- as people add their names and dates, I'll try to make a list (in my little spare time) of where and when people are entering. God bless! [/quote] Only a few days to wait - I´ll keep you in my prayers... All things sorted out so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things sorted out so far? [/quote] Ummmm... NO. But that's okay. I'm working on getting it all together while still staying sane (it's more difficult than you'd imagine). My top 6 worries, if you'd like to pray for them: 1. My dresses aren't made. They're not even started. And thank goodness I'm not making them, but I'm still worrying about them. 2. I can't find any shoes that fit what I need. 3. My suitcase with 3 of my 4 Divine Office books never arrived. It was sent 3 weeks ago. I'm freaking out. 4. I don't have a coat. And Michigan is cold. 5. I can't find my birth certificate. Oops. 6. My mother is doing her darndest to make this extra difficult for me in every way possible. Couple all these with the fact that I'm having a hard time praying, and I'm feeling a little beaten up, to be honest. I feel like I should be more excited, but I feel like I'm just hoping it all gets done in time.... Please pray for me and all those who are entering/have entered!

InHisLove726 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) [quote name='InHisLove726' date='29 June 2009 - 04:27 PM' timestamp='1246307272' post='1905464'] Since my friend is no longer using the internet as much, and never uses this website, I am going to post for her and another friend. Elizabeth is entering on September 8th, 2009 in the Central Province (St. Louis, MO) of the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus. She's been a candidate with the order since November 2007 and been discerning with them since 2006. She requests prayers for perseverance and patience. Emily is entering on September 8th, 2009 in the Northern Province (Milwaukee, WI) of the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus. She's been a candidate since March 25, 2009, but has been an aspirant since 2008 (I believe). This is the order that I was an applicant to, so I have been praying heavily for her. [/quote] Please continue to pray for my friends. I haven't had much contact at all with Elizabeth, so I don't know how she is faring, but I am continuing to pray for her. I can't believe it's only 16 more days until they enter! God be praised! Edited August 24, 2009 by InHisLove726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Dear Lauren, I said a prayer to St. Anthony regarding your suitcase. I laughed when I read your post because it reminded me of my own circumstances before I moved last year. I managed to lose my birth certificate, passport, and my luggage was lost by the airline. I cried more than I had in my entire life. I'm holding you up in prayer and praying for your mother especially. It will all come together at the last minute and you will wonder why you ever worried. I've discovered that this is the way God likes to do thingss. Also, if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. The RSM family is very dear to me. My mother has spent quite a bit of time in a Mercy hospital and the sisters were always so good to her! SWIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as my suitcase goes, it was actually lost in the mail. A friend brought it back from Rome for me and then mailed it USPS, and it still hasn't gotten here.

VeniteAdoremus Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'll be praying for you - especially for your mother. What is it with mothers? Concerning the shoes, have you looked at ecco? That's where i got mine. It's a very solid brand which has both more fashionable and... er... "timeless" models... and super-comfy to boot. It's ironic, i was just done But I'm looking forward to next year when I can just get the bag from the bottom of my closet and be on my merry way in ten seconds flat! People [i]really[/i] underestimate the amount of stuff involved into taking a vow of poverty My dad is so good at finding the strangest things now (thick black knee highs during the height of summer) that he's considering becoming an "entrance planner", like some people have a wedding planner. You've still got time. You'll make it. And if you really can't find something in time you might be able to order it online and have it sent directly to the convent.

Maria_Faustina Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I, too, am finally posting my entrance date, both because I finally know, praise God! and need many prayers as well. It has been a very difficult summer, not only for me (I at least was expecting it--and trying to offer it up as well as I could!) but for my family members, who have varying to adamantly no- faith life, and do not like or support the idea of me going at all. After the drastic step of up and leaving home to stay with friends for a week, they are accepting the idea of me going. This is a big step. I wasn't expecting it, so thanks be to our Merciful God! I do feel like I'm complaining, and it must be said that I know my family loves me, and they simply do not understand the cloistered life, and think they are trying to keep me from making a huge mistake. They are wonderful people--just sometimes there's suffering in a girl's entrance. At least we will all be rejoicing in Heaven. So, thank you very much for your prayers, and to get to the point finally, I am entering the Poor Clares in St. Louis, on September 12, the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary! Thank God for peace and holy joy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes please do pray for me also, I have had a very trying time this summer, for one my dog may have a brain tumor, other then my emotions ... I am just so excited! and you all best write me!
