Deus te Amat Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1293747095' post='2195275'] I don't know if this qualifies for "random vocations" but I just wanted to let you all know that I bumped into two Sisters at a historical/touristy site!!! I was going up to them to ask them which order they were from, but they didn't speak English. I think they were Filipino. We have a convent for the Sisters of St. Joseph and I wonder if they are from a Filipino convent and are visiting here. I'm going to look into it further. They had a gray habit/scapular that was mid-calf length, a modified veil that was black with a white headband, and wore a crucifix of some sort (couldn't get a good enough look at it because I was standing too far away). I just thought that was really cool seeing random nuns in a random spot. LOL! [/quote] I once ran into some habited nuns at Disney Land. My high school band was performing and they stopped to watch... I couldn't stop looking at them during our performance, they noticed my cross necklace and my smiling and waved at me. I was a very happy 17 year old. Some of my friends later told me they had seen the sisters on the rollarcoasters.

Like, have a set of them and ask a kid what order it is from! That's the sort of collage you could fruitfully do in catechesis: it builds up Catholic culture... and possibly vocations! But yeah, even as a man I think that picking an order because of the colors in their habits would arguably be a childish thing to do. Although it's hard to resist playing around with it...

They had this tradition where they'd play some buzz lightyear game where you have to shoot out a bunch of aliens or something. One sister came into class one day and was so disappoint that Sr. D beat her [i]again[/i]. Supposedly Sr. D is not merciful in her playing of buzz lightyear games!

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 +JMJ So I got a letter from the Nuns recently... I guess one of their dogs escaped and was hit chasing cars in the fall... But, for Christmas, they got two puppies (a lab and a shepherd) which they named Corbie (for St. Colette of Corbie) & Roma. Also, Sr. Andrew (who is from Scotland--I love her accent!) is celebrating her Jubilee in early March. Next time I visit, I get to be measured for a jumper... lol. I am curious how this is going to work though, with them within the enclosure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
