OnlySunshine Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 [quote name='magnificat' timestamp='1301441256' post='2224446'] Thanks. I was with the DSMME and discerned that that was not where God was leading me to permanently. [/quote] Prayers for you! I just discovered, by chance, that my friend left the convent recently, too, so you are not alone. You have my support.
FutureSister2009 Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Okay this is my official list now. I'll be adding it to my blog very soon. Go to Rome and have a Papal Audience (this is about to happen actually) Visit Lourdes Go to London and see West End Shows Go back to Disney World. See Wicked for the 10th time (currently I've seen it 7 times) I'd love to go to Lisieux as well. Fortunately my Order has a convent there so chances are, I probably will get to go!

A phatmasser is going to see the pope! That's great! My list: Go to Notre-Dame (Paris) and Sacre Couer (Paris) and Sainte-Chapelle and the Shrine of the Miraculous Medal (also France)--this will probably happen, because I'll be studying there soon! See the Ecstacy of St. Theresa in person. And Il Gesu. And St. Peters (taking art history made this list [i]sooooo[/i] much longer than it once was) Go back to the Cloisters in NYC (possibility, since I have friends up there) Go to the cemetery of St. Edward Parish in Richard, Louisiana to see the grave of CHarlene Richard, a little girl who died in the 50s that the church there is trying to get recognized as a servant of God. That's it. Since I can't enter for at least fourish years, the list is BOUND to get longer....
Tally Marx Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 In No Particular Order: I would like to cut a CD with my band, and record all my solo work (just because my mother has fully convinced me she will lay down and DIE if she doesn't get to keep any of our/my music). I would like to finish writing my books..... I would like to go to Rome and meet the Pope! (My Spritual Director is going this summer.... Would I really suffocate if I hid in his suitcase for the flight there? I was told this, but might just risk it anyway, lol) I would like to find good homes for all my rabbits. I would like to (and WILL, if I do nothing else) spend more time with my family. (Speaking of, can anyone recommend any good waterparks for me to take my godchild to? I am limited to the continental U.S. and Hawaii).

MargaretTeresa Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I just wanna go to Rome! As to the water park, my youngest sister highly recommends Holiday World/Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana. It's a theme park and water park, and you get free sunscreen so you don't burn and free drinks so you stay hydrated.

FutureSister2009 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Okay I want to add two more things that could happen any time if I choose to. Donate blood to the American Red Cross (if I can handle it ) Donate my hair to Locks of Love (I know I can handle it! )

My friend has really long hair, so she's donating to Locks of Love this summer before receiving her habit. So that's not necessarily something that has to be done before entering, but I'm sure it depends on your community. I almost passed out when I gave blood
FutureSister2009 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Well I can definitely cross Go to Rome and have a Papal audience off my list because it did happen! :dance:It was amazing. Since I'm with a group, we actually got acknowledged by him! It seemed so unreal! [i]I'm so blessed[/i]. I don't want to leave but we are tomorrow. I hope I do get back here someday. But regardless, I know for sure I must have a Vocation. I feel it more now than I did before I came here

The first time was tough, but now I'm ok as long as I start lying down. The blood services group now tells you where your blood goes and mine went to a children's hospital. It's so great because not only do you save three lives, you also are making yourself healthier (you make new blood). If you're nervous, just tell the lovely nurses. They are kind and understand. And just think! The JPII (now BLESSED) gave blood so it could be given to him in surgery and now it's an official relic!
FutureSister2009 Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Well since we all know my mother is expecting me to wait another year before I enter, she promised me if I go to school for a year, she would take me back to Disney World before I enter! I'm totally up for that since I really do want to go back before I go off to the convent. I love that place. She also said she would let me spend a week with my Order while I'm on Spring break. It's going to be an expensive year. I need to have a fundraiser or something.

Yaatee Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 [quote name='TeresaBenedicta' timestamp='1262975321' post='2032538'] Really? I suppose it would depend on the community. But I would think that for special liturgies and feast days having a trumpet as part of the music would quite dandy. I always love in my parish when we add the trumpets (two- myself and one other) for the Gloria during Christmas and Easter-- quite a difference from the unaccompanied singing during Advent and Lent! But, with smaller communities, I could see how something like that probably wouldn't happen. [/quote] TB I am Impressed with your gifts. I think that a trumpeter would be a real asset to a religious house, if the chapel isn't to small
Yaatee Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 [quote name='nunsense' timestamp='1263264140' post='2035139'] I watched all the old Man from UNCLE episodes I could find on youtube. I also ate at taco (amazingly good) Bell a lot, and Dunkin Donuts! I know, pathetic. [/quote] FRESH (made than morning) donuts from DD are ambrosial!
