Eowyn Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Mater, I love your avatar. It looks like the cover of a Father Lasance book.
emmaberry101 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Offering up the pain of my wisdom teeth removal for you, Mater, and praying this beautiful novena. Many thanks to AnneLine for being so thoughtful as to suggest it-I love that we can all come in and support you in this way. God's Will be done! For that matter, His Will is being done in you right now. What is His Will except our holiness and spreading that to others? Your tested and tried patience really reveals that you are living His Will of the present moment and receiving His graces! Many prayers and offerings for you.

[/quote] I appreciate it! I've been so busy this week that I haven't had much time to do any praying. I had 3 tests this past week! I passed all of them with 2 "As" and 1 "C". The "C" is from Business Law and I do not like that class. I'm trying to do very well in it but it's difficult because the material is very challenging. I still have a 88.6% in it so I hope I can end with at least a "B." Only 7 more weeks to go!

Thanks!
Eowyn Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I'm praying a novena to St Clare for you, also.
OnlySunshine Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 As always, I appreciate your prayers! Please keep them coming! I had it impressed on my heart to email Sister again. I realized that Sr. is so very busy and might believe that I'm still in California because I wasn't very specific about when I was returning. I prayed and asked God to let me know if it was wrong to email her again even though it has been 3 weeks since I last emailed. I got a very distinct answer to press the "send" button, so we will see what comes of it. Maybe God is not only testing my patience in Sister's response, but also my perseverance and persistence. I didn't write anything in the email telling her I wanted an answer now or even that I was expecting an answer. It was just the normal update that I regularly send so she knows what is going on with me. Maybe it will help remind her.
To Jesus Through Mary Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Mater- that sounds very reasonable and prudent how you handled that. I join with everyone else in prayer for you. I haven't been doing the whole novena (I am so terrible at following through with those things) but have said a few Ave's for you. Your peace in this is really inspiring!!
