Quite A Dilemma!
by InHisLove726- 11 replies

It will be a while before I can speak to my spiritual director again because he is on vacation, and I'm a little confused about my vocation. I honestly don't know whether I should look into strictly contemplative orders, or if I should look at active/contemplative orders. It's quite a dilemma. I love the idea of contemplative life because I am great lover of silence. I don't feel comfortable in noisy surroundings. Last night, things in the house were just VERY noisy and I felt irritable because I wanted silence. I've always been a "country" gal, anyway. I never liked big cities or crowded towns. Plus, living in a natural surrounding with trees, flowers, and st…

Vocation As A Lay Person

Hello, I have a question for those who may be much more informed than I am. I am 50 years old. I converted to the faith in 1989 and am grateful that, through it all, Christ never stopped coming for this sheep when I strayed. My question is this: I have long been contemplating the idea of giving all for Him..how does one at my age do this? I wont lie--I had a rough and tumble life but look at some of the greatest saints and take comfort. I know God can hollow out this rough reed so the Holy Spirit can blow through me and make beautiful music (to badly paraphrase C. Houselander's book "The Reed of God") I know there are "donatas" who attach themselves to convents/monaste…

Hi Everyone I'm thinking of going to France in November, travelling to Lisieux, possibly Nevers and a few other pilgrimage places (not Lourdes, too far away). I'll probably get the Eurostar straight into Paris. Any suggestions for getting around and where to stay? I was thinking of buying an interrail pass. I'm looking to go for about ten days so I don't want anything too ambitious. Oh, and I don't drive.
