Clare~Therese Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 When you're in Adoration and some random lady you've never met before who's in the middle of saying the rosary, stops to ask you if you've visited the local PCC convent and then suggests you visit them. Unknown to her, you're already in a letter correspondence with this community. (the one getting hit over the head is me)

ChristinaTherese Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Somewhere on the order of six (I've almost lost track, and I never made a perfect definition to use in counting, so I'm not sure if it's quite six) different women have guessed that you're discerning or said something relating you and nuns. And one of them was a Protestant missionary in Spain (AKA trying to convert Catholics (um....)). (We were walking through a place that used to be a monastery (it still felt like it should be one) when she said, "This is the choir, where you'd be." I was just really stunned and happy. )

Not because she was thinking about me being a nun. At least, I think that's what she was thinking. Also: You find a reason to slip away from your family in the middle of the day for the Liturgy of the Hours. You spend as much time as possible in the church around time for Mass every morning. (And dearly want to receive Him.... Alas, I must wait until I'm confirmed and all.)
Mary's Child Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 When you mention your discernment to a couple of people you just met immediately say I can see it. Or when you are talking to someone after mass and when you tell them they say "oh good I was watching you in mass and thought I hope shes discerning" . When you spend your whole trip to WYD praying about your vocation and end up getting blessed by the Pope at the final mass .
