stlmom Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Here's hoping that you have a smooth transition to religious life, and welcome back to St. Louis!
AnneLine Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 So exciting, Sister! We will be praying for you. If you want to stay connected with us through me, feel free to let me know by PM (or on here) and I will try to write occasionally and/or share info from you with the PMers, since you have indicated you probably won't be able to continue posting. I'm happy to do this for entering (and re-entering!) phatmassers, since unless God has a BIG surprise for me, I'm not going anywhere..... Blessings, AnneLine

That is sweet of you to think of that. I will actually be having MaterMisericordiae keep updates up and going, as she offered this before to me. I so appreciate that people care so much and that most importantly people are praying!!! I know from experience that the life isn't always easy (what vocation is ever easy?!) :-). But it is always beautifully worth it! It is so hard to leave everyone and everything behind a second time, and the pain of separation is so difficult... So the prayers, especially for perseverance, are MORE than gratefully received!! I had a talk with my novice mistress tonight and it helped immensely. I am nervous, but so grateful for this opportunity to return and discern this beautiful vocation once again!! God is always so good! Thank you all for the prayers!!
Lisa Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Prayers!!! May you grow deeper and deeper in love with His Sacred Heart each day as you live out your vocation!

I remember when we were chatting last year about the possibility of your re-entrance and I thank God that He has given you a new chance! God is so very loving -- even when we think we are unworthy to receive His grace. You have shown so much patience and fortitude these last few months. I know it could not have been easy waiting, but you proved you could do it! You are inspiration to me. Thank you so much for being a great friend! I will miss you more than words can say. Also, have you PM'ed dUSt to ask for a "religious" tag? Edited June 11, 2012 by MaterMisericordiae
macguy4143 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Im praying for you! I'm going to a Carmelite Monastery this coming week and i will pray that you may be successful in your huntings peace be with you!

[/quote] THANK YOU MM! I love you so much, my friend! You have been such a blessing and support on the journey. Please keep in touch. We will be united in the Eucharist! I tried to PM dUSt and nothing happened because it said he can't accept private messages?? Confused...wish I had more time to figure it out... oh well. I am so blessed to have you all praying!!! God bless each and every one of you! I will be praying for all of your vocational journeys!!
Safia Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Prayers indeed! I'm incredibly happy for you. May God pour His graces upon you. x

savvy Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Wish you all the best. I know the sisters who are based in Canada. They are wonderful.

OnlySunshine Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I can't believe today is the day. I already miss her so much! My friend, IamMyBeloveds, is headed to St. Louis with her mom and dad. She will enter tomorrow with another young woman who has also decided to re-enter. I know them both because I met the other girl during the retreat in August 2008. Please pray for them! They will be entering tomorrow evening! Edited June 13, 2012 by MaterMisericordiae
maximillion Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Her status needs to change, she is no longer a PM Newbie but 'Religious'. Also the 'discerning and entered' thread now needs updating but I can't find it.......

He doesn't accept PMs. IamMyBeloveds was once on the discernment list as both a postulant and a novice. I'll see if I can dig it up.
