FutureFranciscan:) 31 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 When you go see Catching Fire and the first thing in your mind after it's over is "Oh no! When the third movie comes out, I won't be able to see it because I'll (if I get accepted) be in the convent!" (Anticipated release for part 1 is November 21, 2014 and part two will be released on November 20, 2015. Entrance will be August 2014. All for Jesus. ;) haha, this is me too for Mockingjay Part 2, because I'm hoping to enter in 2015 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maximillion 1,970 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 In the haberdashery dept you notice some white cord and think what a good cincture it would make..........I'm still trying to figure out how they make those knots, the little twirly ones that seem to go round rather than to tie, if you follow........ Sorry, ignore me. I'm never entering........don't know why I am even on this thread. Crazy nun woman! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could you try to explain? I guess I could wait and see if I figure out the normal way though.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oremus1 32 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. AveMariaPurissima, cmaD2006 and AnneLine 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cartermia 613 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 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: brandelynmarie, Janet Ng and Eowyn 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maximillion 1,970 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 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! Pia Jesu 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristinaTherese 704 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 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.) Ancilla Domini 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThereseMaria 83 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 - 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.
