OnlySunshine Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 [quote name='EmilyAnn' timestamp='1350591473' post='2494499'] You have been so patient through all of this. I pray you hear from your community soon! [/quote] Thank you. [quote name='Totally Franciscan' timestamp='1350594667' post='2494510'] Mater, as has been brought up a while ago regarding another discerner waiting to hear from her community, this just might be a test by the community to see if you give up on them, your vocation, or if you might get testy with them for not contacting you. You have been amazingly patient, and my hope is that God will reward you abundantly in the very near future. Hang in there! We are all praying for you. [/quote] I just wish I hadn't called them about 2 weeks ago. I hope I didn't mess up anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Calling once to check if your contact info didn't go astray I think is perfectly ok! Don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I think we should all consider a novena to Our Lady, Undooer of knots for MM. Not that she gets one answer or the other (altho we certainly have our preferences!!!!) but that her way will be unknotted and her life from now on be under our Mother's Protection. Anyone in?

AnneLine Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) You are welcome -- and FIRST DAY IS UP!!!! The neat thing about this novena is that not only does it have you PRAY for our Mother's help in getting the best outcome, it has you pray for release from all that may have been binding you in unhealthy ways. I love the combo! (and now AnneLine is going to BED!!!!) Edited October 19, 2012 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
