PadrePioOfPietrelcino 570 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 When you happen to be visiting a different dioces and go to confession...afterwards the priest looks at you and asks if you are a seminarian...true story last week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad to know I'm not the only loser thinking about Priestly stuff all day. I can be quite deceiving. I'll be sitting there seemingly reading through a science book like I am smart and sophisticated, but what is going on in my head is really "Hm... I wonder how awkward it would be if a family member confessed his or her sins to me...?" This thread is amesome. I approve.

PadrePioOfPietrelcino 570 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 When a seminarian friend comes to visit...you get into the locked church so he can leave a note in the sacristy for his former classmate (now the current Pastor) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PhuturePriest 6,593 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 -When Brother Fidelis Maria of the Franciscan Brothers Minor-Unprovoked on my part, mind you-regularly calls you to check up on your discernment and answer possible questions. This is something that has never happened before with any other Community. I'm trying not to read too much into it, but I sometimes think "Does he do this with everyone else?" and "Even if he does, why does he seem to have such an interest in me?"

If it is the New Mexico area, then I will have to write Mother Abbess in my next letter and inform her that I know someone who is discerning with her beloved New Mexico Franciscan Brothers Minor!

[/quote] Sorry, Fort Wayne Indiana is where their main Friary is, and they have a new one in Ohio, but not New Mexico. I have never heard of any other Franciscan Brothers Minor before. Are you sure we aren't talking about the same one but you were confused on the location? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pax_et bonum 680 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 No, you're thinking of the Order of Friars Minor, Emma. They are different from the [url="http://franciscanbrothersminor.com/FBM/Home_1.html"]Franciscan Brothers Minor[/url]. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emmaberry 782 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Uh-oh. My apologies FP....but that is still so exciting about the phone call and your discernment! Thank you Pax_et bonum...I fear with my ignorance, me and FP might have been in a haze of confusion for quite a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
