LaPetiteSoeur Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 You go to the daily mass at your parish after months of communion services at school and you sit in a pew in the middle that looks like no one ever sits in it... and it turns out you end up in the Sisters of Mercy pew. People are going to suspect something soon. Last year, someone here thought I was a religious . Probably because I only wear pantaloons on Fridays.

[/quote] We're really lucky--we have two sisters who come here regularly (weekend masses and one works here) and two who like it so much they come to daily mass! Hopefully the vocations boom will help parishes have a religious presence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pastor's brother (also a priest) is the vocations director of the diocese so we have had the pleasure of being in the company of both a women's religious order and a Capuchin Friar who gave mission the week Lent started.

[/quote] I always think it a real blessing when I see the sisters from St Cecilia's in town. They are enclosed, of course, but are only 15mins walk from the High Street so tend to walk to opticians, dentist, doctors etc - I once bumped into one in a charity shop too! I think this obvious presence is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSister2009 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 When you find yourself wanting to lecture other people about modesty. I used to be a victim of modesty lectures but then I began my discernment and I got rid of most of my immodest clothes and now I try to keep myself covered up. Last night I wanted to lecture someone I know who came into Church wearing a tank top, short shorts and flip flops. It didn't work too well and my grandmom told me to be happy she was there at all. She was right but still. And I'd also like to lecture people who design these outfits that expose everything. It makes it very difficult to find modest clothes when I go shopping.

You will grow to see that externals are really not important and that while you choose to dress modestly yourself you couldn't remember if you tried what someone else has worn to any given service.
