InHisLove726 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Great! You'll be in my prayers! Please pray for me, too, because I am sending my "come and see" application to the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeresaBenedicta Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Prayers! Sr. Mary Emily is wonderful. She came to my campus for a visit in January and I spent a good amount of time with her. I hope you have a good and fruitful correspondence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lords sheep Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yea! She's great. She'll get back to you relatively quickly, too (ie- in a couple weeks ) Stay patient and keep praying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 prayers for you, my dear little sister in St. Dominic! I was happy to help. Keep the faith, and remember whatever the response, God's will be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilde Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hi. What was the letter about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Arms of The Lord Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) My prayers are with you! I remember the first time I contacted Mother Miriam. They don't use computers, and I already got a letter and information booklet in the mail. A long time later (a very long time later) I called her. I still remember the conversation ...it wasn't much of a conversation. I was so nervous and I didn't know what to say, I didn't say much at all. There was many long moments of silence. The Lord had kept in my mind to contact her again, I couldn't stop thinking about it. As time went by and I was in contact with her more, I felt more comfortable and started asking more and more questions. The second time I called her I already had written on a piece of paper questions to ask. I thought that I would be so nervous again that if I didn't write them down I wouldn't have said anything! Our most kind and gentle Jesus always has a way for everything to work out the way He has planned. Good luck with your discernment and God bless you! I'm happy and excited for you!

Also, they probably have quite a few people emailing them which is always a very good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the letter about?[/quote] I had to email Sr. Mary Emily, O.P. of the Nashville Dominicans to explain to her my special situation with high school, and I also requested to start a dialogue with her, make retreats, and possibly meet with her sometime this summer as I will be in Nashville. It probably doesn't sound like a very heroic thing I did, but the Holy Spirit definetly helped me get some extra guts on Pentecost God is soo good! Now all I have to do is wait, because everything is in Jesus' hands now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, The HS has definitely helped push me before. I'm sure having a face to face dialogue will be interesting and helpful. I've never been there before(or in the US in general), but I've seen their website a long time ago. I think it was one of the first sites i saw when I started discerning. I know a sister named sr.Faustina by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
