Anselm Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Hello, I just joined (five minutes ago!) so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a former Anglican seminarian, now a Catholic and a teacher in the UK, trying to discern a vocation, I hope, to a Benedictine house here. I'd be grateful for your prayers - I'll pray for you too of course! Anselm
HopefulBride Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Welcome! You are in our prayers. Thanks for yours!
Spem in alium Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Hello! And welcome! :welcome: Thanks for your prayers. Will definitely be praying for you!
Lil'Nun Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Welcome, You are in my prayers. Particularly as I am currently turning my own attention to a Benedictine congregation.
Gabriela Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Welcome! I'll toss ya' in with all the PM VSers! ;-)
inperpetuity Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Welcome, Anselm. Prayers for your discernment.
ChristinaTherese Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Welcome! There seem to be quite a few of us converts around here.... :nunpray: :welcome:

PhuturePriest Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Hello! It's very nice to get your acquaintance! I have a feeling EmilyAnn will be very excited by you being here. She loves Benedictines as well, and there aren't many here discerning a vocation to Benedictines.
TheLordsSouljah Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I LOVE CONVERTS!! :) Welcome to the Phamily. Hope you enjoy the good times. God bless!!
maximillion Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Bennies! I love Benedictines too, and was very close to being one a long time ago. To love: Simplicity Tradition of hospitality - they really know how to do this! Coversion des Moeurs - conversion of manners. Stability I always feel a very profound sense of peace in the non cluttered chapels and churches of the Benedictines. Can I ask which community in the UK? Oh, and welcome. You have my prayers, another moniale for the UK is what we need.
Anselm Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Thank you all for the lovely welcome! maximillion; for a couple of years I've been very close to an EBC house in the westcountry (that gives you two to choose from ;) ) but in recent months my discernment has seemed to be leading me towards a more strictly enclosed life, so the Solesmes Congregation is very appealing...
cartermia Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Welcome! I am thinking of a Benedictine community in the U.S., Regina Laudis to be exact! I am praying for you. :amen:
nikita92 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 welcome and Thank you for sharing! Jump right on and be family! I also am in awe of Bennies! ;)
