Thomas Michael Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Huh?? How did y'all do that thumbnail thingy? Could you get a Mediator of Meh to fine-tune my post and make a thumbnail out of mine??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Does this mean I don't have to post mine for two months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marielapin Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 Huh?? How did y'all do that thumbnail thingy? Could you get a Mediator of Meh to fine-tune my post and make a thumbnail out of mine??? I attatched the image instead of linking to it. If you look below the smilies you will see where you can attach a file if it below 75K in size. Then it makes a nice little thumbnail. If you have a picture from a website, you can also link to the IMG file like you did. Its just two different ways of doing it and some of the pictures I like to post I don't have on my website.

Theologian in Training Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Don't say that!! oh my gosh!! NO!!!! i want to get married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! geez, do i know you vianney? my sisters and i always joke around who's going to be "The Nun" in the family!!! its funny cuz we all want to get married and if i am a nun, God's gonna take me kicking and yelling! geez, i still can't believe you said that! i hope its not God speaking to me again.... those darn omens....... A little too close to home there jmj? I also denied it for years on end, and desired so much for the calling to leave me. Fact of the matter is, if you have a vocation, God will take you...kicking and screaming, if that is what it takes. Also, remember the desire to get married is within us all ("it is not good that man should be alone") ("bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh") but that does not mean that God does not give the grace to live a celibate chaste life if that is what He is asking of you. The earthly marriage foreshadows the heavenly marriage...for some He allows them to take part in the heavenly marriage a bit early, for others He allows another to help them to that end. As Cantalamessa says, "it is not a question of a virgin man or woman renouncing a "concrete" love for the sake of an "abstract" one, a real person for an imaginary one. It is a matter of renouncing one concrete love for another concrete love." However, if what he also says applies, then you might actually have a vocation, for he says that "they (celibates and virgins) are people who mysteriously...have realized that another person, a family, children, all of these were not enough for them." In this sense, the celibate life is eschatological in that foreshadows here on earth the heavenly marriage that will exist for eternity. When a couple are married they also (or should be) helping the other person in sanctity, that what they experience here on earth may bring them to that heavenly reality. Personally, I don't know why I felt the need to write this, but perhaps it is yet another indication that you possibly may have a vocation.

Thomas Michael Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Don't listen to them, flower. Follow your heart and your conscience. You've got plenty of time to find the right man to get married and have children with. And there's many ways to serve God that doesn't involve pledging lifelong celibacy. Vocations doesn't always mean giving up marriage prospects. I found the love of my life at the age of 30. (I THOUGHT it was found at the age of 25, but that relationship didn't work out.) Never give up hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marielapin Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 To be quite honest I thought I would never get married. If I hadn't met Jared I would probably be thinking about becoming a nun myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
