The last one, I search around for obscure videos quite a lot but only cry if they're really good There was this one video of a nun being tonsured in Greece and it was kind of crackly and all, not that great, but when the bishop cut her hair - that's the crucial moment for us - I just sort of yelped and burst into tears, it was so heavenly beautiful. I don't know what was so special about it but it had me bawling like a baby. That only happened the one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have never dreamt about nuns before until last night. It was very strange for me to wake up and realise that I had been a nun in my dream! Maybe this is a good omen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [quote name='i<3franciscans' timestamp='1321924631' post='2339195'] Or when your family wants you to join a different order. Trust me it is awful... Seriously, you are the only one that knows what is on your heart (and Jesus of course). [/quote] these get exhausting sometimes. The first because you feel they are just not ready to know. the second when friends are conviced that you [b]belong[/b] somewhere and you don't exactly feel that way. But Jesus knows...He knows, and for now, that is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InPersonaChriste Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 When you accidently type Christ is getting married instead of Chris.. haha I just had to spell check that because I totally spelled Christ again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
