InPersonaChriste Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 Probably Vocation Station just because most people discerning seem to have this tendency!
BarbTherese Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Vocation forum it is. Thank you for letting me know.
Nunsense Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 You might want to start a thread on scruples in Open Mic since it isn't only those discerning religious life who experience this.

MarysLittleFlower Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I read something by St Padre Pio that really made me think... he said that humility is to recognize your abjection. A greater humility is to love it. When you'll come to the point that you don't mind so much for others to know your failings and instead of making you discouraged, it brings you joy to be able to NEED God's mercy... then probably that is humility. But I'm no spiritual director so maybe my interpretation is incorrect. God bless Edited October 17, 2011 by MarysLittleFlower

The moer I see my own weakness, the more I am able to rejoice in God's mercy as well... and to see His great love for me.
