Lil'Monster Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 [quote name='dominicansoul' timestamp='1304115201' post='2234782'] i think i've always wanted to enter the convent, even when I was swimming in my mother's womb.... *sigh* memories!!! [/quote]
FutureSister2009 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 My mother thinks that me at 19 is too young. But I know what I want. I know now more than ever. I really feel the need to let it happen and I don't want to wait any longer

Studiumecclesiae Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Oooh I know what you're talking about!! It's such a waste to make young people wait. In Ryde, they are in favour of young vocations and their youngest entrant was 19. It depends on maturity. Convents refusing young people under 30 are silly. They shoot themselves in the foot! It's killing the Church to do that and it's bad for youth because you then tend to flit from one thing to another... and even have pre-marital relationships, and at some point to give up the religious life and get married. So silly to rebuke young ladies! Edited May 4, 2011 by Studiumecclesiae
