Popular Post DiscerningCatholic 1,405 Posted November 5, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi, all! I know I haven't been on PM in...well, FOREVER. I haven't fallen off the face of the planet, I promise. I'm also not in the convent. I am, however, preparing for my second DSMME retreat this weekend. I'm as nervous as a racehorse. I am hoping to get application papers and start the application process in short order after returning home. This is a huge step for me and to say that the thought is daunting is a major understatement. The only thing worrying me regarding paperwork and credentials at this point (probably for no reason) is my SAT score. Everything else seems to be in good working order. salveregina10, Lil'Monster, Dominican Nuns Menlo Park and 16 others 19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DiscerningCatholic 1,405 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I guess this will be my regular discernment update thread since all of the other ones seem to have gotten lost in the Great Phatmass Purge of several months ago. (Thanks, Dust!) I'll try and keep y'all updated more than I have recently; I've kinda been taking a break from PM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ToJesusMyHeart 1,574 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Look for the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Peace and joy are especially good indicators of confirmation in discernment. Peace, most of all, in my opinion. brandelynmarie, Aya Sophia and DiscerningCatholic 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DiscerningCatholic 1,405 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm just nervous right now. I'm sure that once I get there, I'll feel fine. I'm just a nervous wreck right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if you'll check this thread before you leave, but will you please say a prayer for me also? I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a week stay at a Carmel. Thanks so much. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
