And the thing is, during the retreats, adoration is the high point. They really focus on discerning God's Will for you, even if it isn't religious life. They say you are doing a "come and see" with Jesus, not necessarily just their community. Edited February 16, 2012 by Lil Red edited at poster's request

Did you meet Mary Ann Marks the Harvard grad? What community do you feel the most drawn to right now?

[/quote] I have one year of school left and will be, [b]Praise God[/b], debt free upon graduating after working through school and full time every summer. I didn't get to talk to her one-on-one this time, but did meet her last time and heard her vocation story- which was amesome! Actually, all vocation stories are fantastic- to hear people tell about how "they just knew" that God was calling them is amazing and makes me incredibly giddy! The community I feel most drawn to right now is this one, and I am praying for God to make His Will known to me! I'm also discerning with the Carmelite DCJs in Wisconsin and will be visiting them in a few weeks, but mainly to just seek clarity and be certain that it's not just infatuation with the DSMME, who were the first Sisters I had ever me. Darlene, thanks for all your interest in us discerners
