ToJesusMyHeart Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Don't worry, there will be multitudes of other things to get annoyed at for not being pious enough once you enter the convent... ;) Such as what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSister2009 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 When you're still nun-sighting during all of the services on EWTN for Easter When you walk with the nuns during the Good Friday procession even though you're not discerning with that exact community.

FutureFranciscan:) Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 when your school puts a 'bonus vacation day' on it's website's schedule and you think it says 'bonus vocation day' (my high school has a vocation day at the beginning of the school year) and you freak out and get very upset to learn you just have another day off school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSister2009 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 When you are super excited to know that Sisters are coming to visit your school and you want it to happen more often so you will propose the idea to campus ministry for the future!

domenica_therese Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) When you're willing to use all the money in your bank account to visit convents and then you won't mind that you have no money because you'll be living a vow of poverty soon anyway. I think I'm getting a new camera for my birthday but I feel extremely silly doing so -- even though I'm going to be studying abroad in Spain this summer and thus having a camera would be rather useful -- because I'm rather sure I won't need it in a bit over a year. When I was in Rome last Spring and started discerning super seriously I had this "What's the use of buying clothes or anything!" mentality, but I've found that I still do have to buy clothes since I'm student teaching, need to look nice for it, and have a wardrobe primarily comprised of jeans and t-shirts. It's so weird though to live in the world with an impending vow of poverty. But I have to remind myself that I don't have a vow of poverty yet, and it's not required of me to live as if I do. My birthday is coming up and I just want to be like "No! Stop giving me money!" which is a bit absurd, because I know that I have been incredibly blessed to be able to be where I am financially with no hurdles of that kind towards entrance, and I am so thankful for that. But people should still stop giving me money. :P Edited April 2, 2013 by domenica_therese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureFranciscan:) Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) When the vocation director at the convent emails you and says that you can come up for evening prayer, dinner, and recreation on friday and you go run to go tell your parents and you do a happy dance in front of them.
