10 Days left ! ! !

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
THIS IS MY 50TH POST, HOW COOL IS THAT?????????

congratulations!!!!!!

Hello all, everything is falling into place every nicely.

Father Zurcie(I can never spell his name right) was over joyed with the news when I told him this morning.
The joy I feel this past week is unmeasurable!

Praise God! ! !

That's great, Jessica.

I forget, how long are you going to be there? Are you and Shernel going for the same amount of time. Finally, God willing, when would a possible entrance be?

good question Michael, Jessica and I will not be there the same length of time. My aspirancy is from Aug 8th-28, Jessica on the other hand will remain there and will eventually start her postulancy. Entrance for me if God wills it will probably be at the end of this year unless God has other plans.

In JMJ

Please be assured of my prayers for everyone...please pray for me...my sponor how a meeting with the Sister who is head of vocations on thursday it will be then when i will find out if i can become a pre-candidate to enter the following year...

While we (myself and Shernel) will be entering our Aspirancy together, she will go home later that month, I belive my Aspirancy will be at least three months or longer then go right into being a postulat, God Willing!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! YAYS!!!!!!! So many prayers here! I didn't realize it was so soon! May St. Dominic be with you! Go Dominicans!

When you two will be entering at Lockport, VA and I will be at Buckfast for a few days. Prayers for you both!

7 Days left! ! !

I am filled with such joy for both of you! I will be at the Visitation Monastery in Tyringham 5 to 9 Aug so I will have a lot of extra time to pray for both of you. In fact, I plan to make it a special point to pray for all vocations to the religious life, be they in youth or beyone. My extended stay with them cannot take place until late October, but even a few days is a blessing. This will be my fourth visit, but I am so looking forward to the day when I no longer have to leave. Praised be Jesus Christ!!

I am so excited for you both only 1 week left. I pray for you both daily. Love you both my Sisters to be. God Bless and Mary keep

Hi Phuture Dominicans.,

I attend a Dominican parish and today after Mass I asked Father to pray for you guys especially on the 8th. Well, guess who's now reading the intercessions at Solemn Vespers on August 8?

You got it. So the Dominican Friars of Blessed Sacrament Priory, the people of Blessed Sacrament Parish, and moi will be praying for you two on Tuesday evening. (I've never read or anything at church before. I just play and occassionally lead a psalm or two--this is love.)

Dare

(Phuture Dominicans...too cute!) What a wonderfull gift for them!

Blessings! One Day left! ! !

In the busy state of life we are in, can't you be still for one moment and hear what is going on around you? The birds sing, the wind blows, the bugs buzz and God too whispers, can you hear him?

I can't believe we have one full day left!! Iam so excited!

God Bless YOU in your journey and my prayers....say hello to them for me, especially Sr. Imelda....from Alyssa or Ali....she's very dear to me

God Bless!

Is there anybody who could please take pictures of the entrance ceremony (or isn´t there any?)!

GOD bless you on your way--- !

So many prayers for you both! Amongst my preparations for my trip I'm so very excited for the two of you too. Stay open to God's word and He will make His will crystal clear!

Love and prayers,

PP
