It's true, though. Most Nuns/ Sisters can spot a discerner 10 miles away. [/quote] I was astonished at how many people worked it out with me - including people who were not remotely religious (such as my singing teacher and personal trainer!) - and almost disappointed that literally no one batted an eyelid when i told the, It seemed the only person to be suprised by my calling was me!

faithcecelia Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 [quote name='Sebastian2' timestamp='1307757788' post='2252249'] And the 5 AM wake-up time isn't absurdly early, it's suddenly a glorious time to be awake[img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/clap2.gif[/img] [/quote] I have risen at 4 - 4:30am for years, so 5am is a lie-in for me, I have never had as much time in bed as I did in Carmel, it was my cross being awake but having to stay in bed!

It has been the most painful journey imaginable, but making it has been a compulsion, an agony of love. [/quote] Sigh... yeah. I would not have chosen this path. (I'm no where near entering a community, either -yet anyway.) I have to say that the view can be pretty good at times.

MargaretTeresa Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 when everytime you hear one of your co-workers mention her OCD, you think discalced Carmelites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaPetiteSoeur Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 When you're in the car and your sister thinks she sees a nun and you suggest you all play the "guess the order game." My family thinks they were Carmelites (possibly of the SHJ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresaThoma Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 When you get together with friends it always involves a trip to the Adoration Chapel The 24 hour Adoration Chapel being temporarily closed due to construction is a major crisis in your life. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/brickwall.gif[/img] You ask your priest for clarification on his comment in the bulletin about whether a Sister had her first profession or final/solemn and he was impressed that you caught it and knew the difference. You never go anywhere without your breviary and at least one rosary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerCatholic Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I don't know if this is a sign, but when my boyfriend introduced me to a priest friend of his after daily Mass, the priest started going on about how I looked like I should be in a convent. Something about my face and angels from Heaven. O.O But, I'm grinning madly and wondering "is this a sign?" and the bf is thinking "No, Father, don't say that to her!". lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
