[/quote] When your mother is concerned that you don't have a good fashion sense and that you need to "learn how to dress," while on the inside all you're thinking of is a habit. My mom said that I "dress like a nun" once, and on the inside I was like xD

Catholicterp7 Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I had someone ask me if I were "with a community" today after Mass. That's the first time that's happened to me. JMJ+

I seem to remember you saying somewhere here on VS that she is a dear friend of yours. You are so blessed! Did she write that in a letter to you? Forgive me if I am being nosy, your signature was just so beautiful and caught my attention.

In the last letter she sent me she added a prayer that she had written for me. Here's the whole thing. Contemplate most high poverty, most holy chastity, most blessed obedience absolute surrender perfect purity of heart. Embrace silence and solitude. learn the secret of suffering behold in awe the mystery fall prostrate before the reality of God Alone. In the presence of the Crucified Christ open the wound of Truth and fall victim to the all encompassing oblation of love. JMJ+

Catholicterp7 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 When your friend tells you that she saw some nuns and your first reply is "What were they wearing?" because you know that then you'll know exactly what community of sisters she saw. JMJ+
Catholicterp7 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 So here's what my friend said. "she was wearing a long blue (almost denim looking) dress with a black cross and a white and blue headpiece. The younger girls were wearing the same type of dress, only it did not have long sleeves and they had on white shirts underneath theirs instead. They too had on black cross necklaces and white and blue headpieces. They were wearing regular shoes I believe." I honestly have no idea who it could be. Any ideas? My first thought was the Servants of God's Love but they don't wear a veil. I'm so confused! JMJ+
