toservelove Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Hi everyone, I just wanted to share this photo show one of the sisters made for me. This is my clothing or vestiture. I am now officially part of the Dominican novitiate! For all of you discerning, my prayers are with you. For all who prayed for me and helped me on my journey, thank you. Please continue to pray that I persevere in doing God's will. God bless, Sr. Eve-Marie of the Seven Sorrows

laetitia crucis Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Blessed be God, Sr. Eve-Marie of the Seven Sorrows! What a beautiful name, and a beautiful investiture! (If you don't mind my asking, what day do you celebrate as your feast day?) I am particularly fond of the tradition for Dominicans to lay prostrate before receiving their habits, and before their Professions. Congratulations! And might I say, Matt Maher's "Set a Seal" is one of my favorite songs and is just perfect for this most grace-filled occasion. Thank you so much for sharing your special day with us. P.S. -- I absolutely adore the little Dominican dolls! And the decorations - so sweet!

[/quote] This is so great, organwerke!!! -- When will you be going to the grave of St. Dominic? Maybe you could say a little prayer for all of us discerners here on Vocation Station, too? And of course, take all the rosaries you have and touch them to his grave... that makes them 3rd Class relics, right?
cmotherofpirl Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Praised be Jesus Christ who led you to this moment in your life.
MissyP89 Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 God bless you, sister! Beautiful ceremony.

So I can go there whenever I want! It is my favourite church, I have a lot of very important memories of my life connected with this holy place! I can't say how much I'm fond of this church: it really means TOO MUCH for me! Of course I will say a prayer for all you discerners, especially for those who are discerning the dominican charism! God bless you Edited February 16, 2010 by organwerke
Nunsense Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Dear Sr. Eve-Marie of the Seven Sorrows - thank you so much for sharing your beautiful clothing day with us all. It is so inspiring to see such joy and love and the habit is just such a grace. Speaking as a Carmelite myself, I have such a love for the Dominican habit - it is just so pure with all that white! And those long veils? Delicious! You look so very happy, especially near the end of the photos with that really big smile. Your name is lovely too.... thank you again. Many prayers for you during your Novitiate.

I think I have met you Sister! I was at the Farmington monastery in January last year (2009) with Sister Judie Ann (I was dressed in a black and white postulant outfit) and I think I met you there at a confirmation ceremony? We had all tea afterwards in that downstairs area. The photos where the dolls are - that looks like where I was. I was only there for a few hours so I can't be sure, but you look familiar and so do some of the other sisters! Anyway, it all looks wonderful.
morostheos Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 That is so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing! Congratulations!!!
