I wish you a fond farewell. We never had the opportunity to speak much, unfortunately, but I will still miss you. Have a wonderful time.

Tell Mother Superior you want your nun name to be Sister Mary Math Ninja.

[Lil Red]

i miss her already.

People leaving us is always so bittersweet. I'm of course happy for them, but sad that they're not around any more.

I'm longing to get that feeling of "home" when I visit a community. That must be amazing!

DtA just prayed the Dominican Salve and is settling into the silence of her first night in the convent. God bless her and Mary keep her safe.

When do the NDs usually post pix of the new postulant class? I want to see her and another friend in their razzle dazzle postulant jumpers!

Never as quickly as one would hope...

I was wondering if anyone knew of pictures yet. Before I came here I went to the website to look for the postulant class pictures, but they weren't there yet. I know it was just yesterday, but I think like the rest of everyone on here I was excited to see the pictures.

I was thinking about her, and the user Nunsense last night and just wondering how they were feeling, and I'm sure so thankful. It made me hope for the day even more when I, I still hope, will find my place in a religious community. Prayers for all discerning.

Typically it takes even the quickest posting communities a couple of days to get things up. I would guess probably early next week for photos.

Also, I noticed that they are on retreat for a couple days before beginning the official postulancy, as DtA said. I think they post pix after the retreat so they can show them processing into the chapel as official postulants, as seen in their last post of 2011 postulants.

Ah good point there Emma! I do remember DtA saying they start out with a retreat.

[emmaberry]

...which means pix may be up SUNDAY!!!! Not to obsess or anything...

[MissScripture]

Like I said, it always takes longer than you wish it would. Lol

[franciscanheart]

It makes me happy cry to think of her there now.
