Maybe they are too, but I just don't know cuz we don't all see each other much.

[/quote] Ya, it's raining here AGAIN Oh right announce vocation wise I WISH!!!! I'd love to go back for the live in but havent asked outright. I guess that's what I have to do next but thought I should wait until some time had passed after my visit to let things digest. When I left though I think it was pretty obvious I wanted to stay and the sisters said come back soon but they probably say that to everyone. That's my question to everyone though how long after you visit should you wait to ask to go back? I keep praying and asking (begging) Mary about it too since it is kinda her Order and therefore it's up to her if she let's me in and when. It makes me really to ask her because when I was 14 I got to play her role at the church nativity play including being dressed as her with a with a beautful blue veil. After that I proceeded to be quite the prodigal daughter who really doesn't deserve to be dressed like her mother (again) in her mothers finest clothes but is asking anyway. Mary

Now, giving it over to God. Detachment and letting go, those really are the hardest things. [/quote] Just this week, the Dominican prioress e-mailed me to confirm that the chaplain had sent "a really lovely letter" of introduction, about me, to the monastery. Whew.

brightsadness Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 My parents and I are just home (in Chicagoland) from our visit to the monastery. We had a great family visit with the community and my folks met privately with Mother while I had the final fitting for the postulant's garb. It fit perfectly and I love that it's not new. I look like I belong already. Thngs are much easier for my folks now. They trust Mother and fell in love with the community. Please keep praying for me as I do for you. Anya
