Kylie Spinelli Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 [quote name='MithLuin' timestamp='1287086776' post='2179619'] ...when you spend your vocations going on pilgrimages with a bunch of retired people rather than hanging out with family or friends your own age. [/quote] LOL did you mean VACATIONS?!?! LOL!!
Kylie Spinelli Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) You know when you're a future nun when... You want to grow your hair long so it's wicked symbolic and dramatic when you chop it off to receive the habit! You get frustrated when your parents won't let you go to morning Mass. You hide your vocations (links) bookmarks in your "shopping" folder. You think of nuns every time you hear the word habit. Edited July 4, 2012 by Kylie Spinelli

I've worn my hair short for quite some time now and I want to grow it out for a change. Then, tonight, I thought that it would be awesome if my hair could be cut while it's long if I enter religious life (God-willing).

I wish someone here would make my day and tell me they were discerning with the Franciscan Poor Clares at EWTN (Who I have seen in person as a young girl entered the community), but Dominicans are cool enough.

OnlySunshine Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 ...when all your thoughts lead to living a life with the Sisters you are discerning with, especially about what your mission will be if/when you enter. ...when you look to the saints for inspiration and find yourself filled with holy envy, especially those who you grow close to like St. Therese, St. Faustina, St. Rose, and St. Catherine. ...when all your thoughts are consumed with excitement about starting the aspirancy process, even if it means surrendering plans of going to school.
OnlySunshine Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 ...when you see a Sister in an airport and immediately know which order she is from. I saw a Nashville Dominican in the airport I was stopping at for my layover. Incidentally, I was on my way to Alma, MI to visit the Religious Sisters of Mercy. Too cool!
StClare_OraProNobis Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Mater- What is "holy envy?" I have heard that phrase before but I don't understand what it means.
OnlySunshine Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 The way it's described is recognizing elements in the saint that you admire and wish could, in some way, be reflected in your own faith life.
