emmaberry Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 When the only thing you get 'gussied up' for anymore is Mass and Adoration.
StaroftheSea Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 You volunteer for an IVE summer camp, and your team only stops calling you "Sister" when you threaten them with the loss of points, not to mention that you never told them that you were discerning... You ask a sister manning a book table for some spiritual reading suggestions, and she immediately points you to "Questions on Vocations" and gives you that look. You spent your entire morning reading this topic and the "Nuns in Habits" topic from start to finish.

OnlySunshine Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 ...when you look forward to the next Mass so you can spend more time with your Beloved. ...when you look forward to Adoration for the same reason above. ...when you would give up your plans to further your education so you can enter the convent when Jesus thinks you're ready.

My mom has to talk to my dad about it.).
