the lords sheep Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 So, once upon a time here on VS, we had "prayer-pals" or prayer partners. Since that time, many of the members (though not all) have moved on from VS to bigger and better places: many have entered their respective convents, monasteries, seminaries, hermitages, and some have already been ordained or have gotten married. Anyway, I was remembering this the other day, and praying about the fact that VS should not only be a place where we can find information on our respective vocations and hear vocations news from around the world, but we should be a center of prayer, carrying one another to the heart of Jesus, sincerely interceding for one another. I know many of you, like me, carry the people of VS in your prayers, especially when they request special prayer intentions. I know that others have gotten to know people and carry them especially in prayer. However, I've been thinking that maybe we should try to reestablish some of these more intimate prayer relationships, especially for those who have very little support in their discernment. Even if you already have one person or a few people (as I do) that you're praying for, join us if you'd like (you can never have too many people praying for you, right??) I know in the times I have really struggled, my greatest consolation was that there were always people praying for me, even when I couldn't pray for myself. So! Here is the link to the [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=21697&hl=partner&st=0"]old thread[/url] but, as many of these members have gone, I though we should begin in this new thread. Before, it worked best just to assign randomly as people showed interest. So, if you are interested at all, sign up below. If you have a special request, clear it with that person and then post the partnership below. Happy Prayers! In the hearts of Jesus and Mary, Lauren

DominicanPhilosophy Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I think this would be a great idea. I seventh this. Is there a nun or Sister emoticon, BTW? I didn't see one, but maybe my eyes just deceived me.
aalpha1989 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I haven't really talked that much on the VS, but I would still like one. 'S that cool? How do we get assigned a prayer pal?
the lords sheep Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 I'm so glad that you guys want to take part. Good idea, Holy Spirit! Anyway, I'll probably assign them randomly when I get a chance later this afternoon, and then as time goes on, we can assign people as they come in pairs. And, I have never seen a nun smiley, although I think people have asked about getting one in the past.... you should ask d.ust (or even one of the moderators, because d.ust's pm box tends to get full quickly) (also, if you are going to pm d.ust, take out the period... its all one word, but it has word triggers when you write it on the forum- see: dust) God bless you all!!! In Jesus and Mary, Lauren
Sister Rose Therese Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I guess Brother Ed broke the ice, I guess it is OK for us religious to join as prayer partners. Sign me up.
