Hi AngelofMary.Welcome to the phorum. If you'll read back through earlier posts from this thread you'll see that I've posted something explaining why I don't feel it would be appropriate to discuss anything to do with community affairs or members in the community. Its not my place to speak for them, anyways. :)

I understand your discomfort perfectly, Saint Therese--and I'm glad you felt free enough not to respond to questions when you did not feel comfortable doing so. But, if you ever see Sister Agnes, please let her know that allowing outsiders to "intrude" on the privacy of her vesting in the habit was very thoughtful of her, and a wonderful way to share the beauties of relgious life. There are lots of "strangers" who now feel a bond with her, and are hoping only the best for her future.

If, for some reason, Sister Agnes is no longer with this community, I hope that she has found peace, either in secular life or with another community. The religious life is a blessed one, but it is not the only way that God calls us to serve. Our prayers and good wishes are with Sister Agnes, wherever God has taken her since the video was filmed.

I really do appreciate the feeling that people have re Sr. Mary Agnes. I think the investiture video was truly beautiful, and I have to say it was important in my own discernment. So I really can say I understand how people feel about it.
[i]I just feel I have a solemn duty to be circumspect in order to protect the community.[/i] If anyone doesn't understand this all they have to do is read the thread about "Dominican Habits".
;)

Ya'll please continue to keep me in your prayers.
God bless you!

Congratulations! April 29 isn't far away, so you'll be too busy to be nervous--just excited. And, Lockport should be gorgeous in the Spring! Just the right time of year for new beginnings!

Dearest Prayer Pal,

Did I luck out or what!! You are in my prayers each day as you prepare to enter. I will be living in with the Basilians as of April 17th and will be praying for you from the monastery. Please keep me in your prayers.

with love in Christ,
Anya

Of course I'll be remembering you in my prayers, and congratulations on the live in! That's great. May the Lord give you light to discern His will for you, and may the Mother of God watch over you and help you with her prayers.
