[i]"Dust,

My name is Erick, I represent Bishop Ronald Gainer from the Diocese of Lexington in Kentucky. This past weekend we had a meeting in which a college student told us she has been accepted to join the Dominican Sisters and she credits finding her vocation to your site Phatmass.com..."[/i]


It's letters like these that motivate me to keep phatmass up and running. Thank you for making this site awesome!!! :iloveyou:

[size=1]That was me.[/size]

:hehehe:

And might I say, ERICK ROCKS!!! He's doing AMAZING things for the Lexington Diocese -- I am quite the phan. :nun:

Pray for him -- HE'S AWESOME!


[u]Edited to add[/u]:

Please pray for Bishop Gainer, too. He's such a great bishop and is also doing AMAAAAZING things for the Lexington Diocese. :priest_halo: The Lexington diocese is definitely my "home" even though I'm not currently residing in that diocese. It's where I entered the Church and where I began my discernment of religious life. Phatmass (Vocation Station specifically), however, is where I found my vocation to the Dominicans. [b][color="#9932CC"]THANK YOU, dUSt!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!! :blowkiss:[/color][/b]

Dust -- keep up the good work. You really have done a good job with the phorums. I know that at least with Phatmass I stop thinking I'm the only one struggling with their vocation, and that in and of itself is a blessing.

Just leave it to me and my big mouth -- I'd tell the WHOLE WORLD about Phatmass if I could! :sweat:

Just be careful. You were already a Catholic when you came to Phatmass. For some people, Phatmass has been one of the primary influences in their conversion, which is wonderful. For other people--not so much. :whistle: Like every other community on earth, Phatmass is made up of all-too-human people. If future posters have realistic expectations, Phatmass can be great--but at times, not so great, if you know what I mean.

:sadwalk: Not trying to be a downer--just realistic. In no way do I want to stifle L-C's enthusiasm--not that I could even if I wanted to (which I don't).

It's too late for me to edit my post, or I'd delete my comment. I meant to do it earlier when I was able to, but I got busy doing something else and forgot.

Sorry about that. I'll shut up. :shutup:
