Antigonos Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 [quote name='Spem in alium' timestamp='1339227088' post='2442862'] It would be interesting to read the novel or the real story on which the film is based. [/quote] Alas, the book is out of print, AFAIK. There is a used copy available [url="http://www.amazon.com/The-Nuns-Story-Kathryn-Hulme/dp/B000CBFXYA/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1339230591&sr=1-2"]here[/url] for a reasonable price, and three or four others for what I think of as an unreasonable price. It's unfortunate, because, while the movie was excellent, the book is much fuller. [BTW, Audrey Hepburn is supposed to have said that she regretted not having made them give Sr. Luke some grey hair, when we see her leave the convent, to show the passage of time, and her struggles] I wish the book would be reprinted. At the time it came out, apart from Monica Baldwin's "I Leap Over the Wall", the average public knew nothing about either the formation or the inner lives of religious.
maximillion Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 There are lots of copies available on amazon uk......some for about £4 - not sure how much that is in dollars. If you can't get it through amazon for some reason pm me, I will buy it and send it to you.

AnneLine Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Hi, Staying Faithful, Welcome to PhatMass! Many times what people who are new do is to start a new topic (either in Vocation Station or in open mike, and tell us a little about yourself. Then people will welcome you, and you will start to recognize people when they post things. After you have posted a few times, you will start to have more 'access' to different things on Phatmass, and it gets a little easier to figure out. One hint -- you won't be able to see your own post until after you have 'refreshed' your screen (or gone into another thread and come back into this one again. Most people who come to vocation station are interested in exploring a religious vocation, but some of us (like me!) are just here to support those who are discerning. You can also post a prayer request or two in the prayer room, or comment on some threads in other areas. You'll figure it out! Again, welcome to PhatMass! Blessings, AnneLine
maximillion Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Welcome staying faithfull, yes we can all see your responses. The thing about not being able to see what you have posted confused me a little too as it is different to other boards I am on.....but your posts are there. If you want to check go to your profile and click on 'posts' it will give you a list of them and if you click on one it will take you directly to it and you can then read responses people have made..... There are also times when the phorum is quiet and there may not be any response for a couple of hours. It's great you have joined us!
Immanuel Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 welcome stayingfaithful, you'll love the pham (especially VS)
StayingFaithful Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Thank you all SO much! I am very grateful for your welcome and suggestions. God bless you all! Edited June 14, 2012 by StayingFaithful
