faithcecelia Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I just wondered if anyone had heard anything from Brandee about whether she will be entering immediately following her live in and if thats happened at all? I only ask as her name popped uo as online on facebook the otherday briefly which very much suprised me, but she had gone again before I could message her. I hope its all going well for her - I am still full of holy envy!
FutureSister2009 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I wish I had. I'm really curious myself
OnlySunshine Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I hope she found what she was looking for and was able to enter right after her live-in.
OnlySunshine Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Actually, it says on her profile that she signed in on August 26th. Her live-in started on August 20th. I wonder if they allowed her to go online one last time before she entered?
elizabeth09 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I don`t think so, but she got there and got to the place alright. I got a call from a friend that we both know. I will do my best to update you all, which is only once a month.

das8949 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I actually was in contact with a religous I know in the area who is close to the order. Sister said that Brandee has gone from a visit in the guest house to a live-in situation within the cloister. She will remain there for a period of time to determine whether she will enter as a postulant at a later date. Pls don't quote me but if I understood correctly she will most likely complete the live in and return home to prepare for her postulancy if that is what discerned.

If what you wrote is correct, then the situation must have changed. From what I remember, she was going straight into the postulancy from the live-in if she still wanted to proceed.
das8949 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Yes from what my friend said it is customary for a live in in the cloister of an indiviudalized time more than a week or two stay in the guest house.

Did her mom take over that as well?

[/quote] I have no idea -- but maybe there was some miscommunication before, as this (live-in, then go home and think about it, then return as a postulant) does seem to be a MUCH more common pattern. Maybe the nuns always were offering a visit-potentially-turning-into-a-live-in and through some combination of crossed wires that got understood as visit-potentially-turning-into-immediate-postulancy. Or maybe the nun friend is misinformed as to this particular situation, or well all sorts of things! Regardless, I hope and pray that she is following God's path and is very happy.

elizabeth09 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 Not that funny, but know what you mean.
