Spem in alium Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) So many I connected to! I haven't yet properly discerned a call to religious life, but I think I'm getting there...potentially Because: In your purse you have a Rosary and third-class relics. You pray the Rosary on the train. Scripture reading makes you cry tears of joy. You order 25 Brown Scapulars and don't think it's excessive. You wear a veil or headscarf around the house and it just feels natural. Your siblings call you "nun" to tease you, but it actually fills you with joy. You wear all brown to uni, one of your friends jokingly asks you if you're becoming Franciscan and you quietly think "...Carmelite". People accuse you of "needing" to go to Mass every day - when you know it's actually because you WANT to. You feel so joyful walking past or entering a church. Seeing the Blessed Sacrament (even in photos) fills you with love. You tell one of your friends about the thoughts you've had on entering religious life, and they get excited about how "perfect" it is.

LaPetiteSoeur Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Your grandmother's friend tells your grandmother that "She's got a calling, I'm convinced," even when that friend hasn't stepped into a church in decades. Everybody knows, even before you tell them Even your nonCatholic friends are totally razzle dazzle with it, because they can't picture you as anything else!

[/quote] On a related note: if someone were to look through your purse, they can tell right away that you're Catholic because it has a Rosary, a Bible, holy water, a mantilla, and some prayer cards. (that pretty much describes my purse!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictlyinkblot Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have the 'Benedictine Daily Prayer: A Short Breviary' for saying the Office, two rosaries, a 2nd class Padre Pio relic and various prayer pamplets. And this is my 1000th post. Which means I'm either destined to become a nun or I have way too much time on my hands and I should be praying/exercising/talking to friends more.

Annie12 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Oh! I have some![list] [*]When you make your desk into a makeshift alter [*]when you are involved with everything at church [*]When your friends like to draw fashion and nature while you like to draw Christ and Mary. [*]When you subconsciously think of yourself as a nun even though you are still discerning. (this is basically what this thread boils down to!)
