You Know You Are A Future Nun Part 2

[oremus1]

may i ask, why would one still become a sister when you can become a consecrated virgin nowadays ? not being rude, just wondering - ....i would like to understand what the call is like and how it feels different . many regard CVs as giving up a whoel lot less and having a status in the chuch, and they can do a much greater range of apostolates without having to seek out and fit into an order

:offtopic: start a new thread. But to answer, it all depends on the call. God could call one woman to be a CV and another to be a sister while they still share the same apostolate. It's all revealing a different detail of the heart of Christ.

But seriously, start a new thread.

Two separate vocations. :)

When your college sends you all sorts of emails about jobs and internship opportunities and deleting them has never given so much satisfaction. :evil:

...when you take an icicle & use it to sketch hearts in the freshly fallen snow...& turn them into the Sacred Heart & Immaculate Heart :blush:

When you are wondering who else is going on the DSMME discernment retreat in February or April... :blush: :blush: :blush:

 

 

Retreat thread anyone? :)

[cartermia]

When your religion teacher moves your seat right next to the "nun board".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The nun board is different pamphlets from different communities. We have a lot of Dominicans, Carmelites, and Franciscans, but no Benedictines :pout:

Saw some strong linen thread today. Would have given my eye teeth for it when I was in the convent. Great for sewing sandals and other strong repairs!

You keep thinking about St. Francis as you read the gospels for a class. (And... the beginning of the Rule of St. Clare is just lovely. I've been having trouble cutting and pasting URLs onto the phorum lately, but look it up. You'll see what I mean and how it relates to the previous statement.)

- When you always used to get into trouble with your teachers/classmates in public school, because you kept talking about God!!! (Well, they brought up rainbows in Science, logically a comment would arise about Noah's ark... Or am I the only one who automatically thinks that?)
- When you find yourself drawing crosses surrounded by hearts in class.

OH AND when you keep having dreams about being a nun.

...when someone mentions LOTR, you read it as "Liturgy of the....oh wait...." :hehe2:

I do that too!

They say "Mordor" with about seventeen o's and five r's going up and down.

Dang, now I'm going to be fighting LOTR quotes next time someone chants the Kyrie Eleison...thanks a lot (not)...  :rotfl2:

[maximillion]

For ages I had been reading LOTH every time I saw LOTR without realising it.

 

It was quite confusing at times.

 

That's because anything with LO must be referring to LOTH, mustn't it? :crazy:  :jester:

[cartermia]

Exactly what I see. I was talking to my priest about LOTR (using initials of course) and I accidently said LOTH. He is just like yup here is Sr. Carter in 10 years!
