Not to worry, I have secretly been removing pictures of St. Thomas Aquinas from the library and placing them all over the PPC monastery--although there are still some in the library. I know that nun/Sister's cells are supposed have completely bare walls except the crucifix, but right now all the cells have at least one painting of St. Thomas Aquinas, two paintings if the nun/Sister has Carmelite tendencies.

:lol: I like Thomas, in particular for his beautiful songs. :cloud9: Id even take the paintings JTheresa doesnt want. Yes even if I end up with four of "Thomas meditating on the Passion" which would be a real penance but you know gotta save souls haha

Don't worry. ;) I'm not looking to make this a pity party for me. It's just a good place to cast out ideas and thoughts, and vent.

I think this is a great place to do that so vent as you want and I will do this :console: and :pray: :)

Surely, we must come up with some good saints that were more human and *gasp* even committed mortal sins! http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/shock.gif

She is not officially canonized but I would like a picture of Dorothy Day in my cell.

Thank you.

Thank you, I will have a look. I've kind of come to the point where I'm going to discern what apostolate, spirituality, community I'm drawn to. I'm still learning about all of this. Then narrow it down to a few. Then approach when the timing is right with what I feel called to, and let them take me on a case-by-case basis and see what Divine Providence allows for me. Some have made a good point that if I feel really called to a specific order, they may take that as God's Will and accept me. I cringe though in not being able to pick so much on my end, because I don't so easily feel drawn to just any order. My condition is well managed though and so I'm hoping they will all be very open to me. Maybe "managed" isn't even the word, rather there are no symptoms of it at all, for quite some time. I've really had to learn how to deal with situations and stressors through councelling. That's been key.

Also, the True Hope website I mentioned... If I remember correctly, I believe a man and his daughter formed their own company and similar supplement after the success of the True Hope website supplement on his bipolar daughter. They are at Quiet Minds dot net. Again, never tried either, but curious.

Mater, I know you are stepping away from discernment. So this is just for health in general, and for anyone this relates to.

I commented more on health issues here:

I've been researching magnesium deficiency/supplementation. George Eby has a site with a wealth of information. Between him and google, it is incredible all the health issues it can cause. It appears it may even be the cause of the mental/emotional issue I have, as well as my ADHD and other things. It has a huge impact on muscular functions and mental/emotional functions, including brain chemicals. I am looking forward to getting an effective formula and trying it out.
