Lil'Nun Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Okay, as a Brit I am confused. I know you are applying to Benedictine is that a college or a Benedictine order? Also, when you say your friends are applying for papers is something to do with college or something else. Sorry. Just trying to keep up. :paperbag:

Just trying to keep up. :paperbag: I know I'm not DC, but she's applying to Benedictine College in Kansas. When talking about her friends, they are asking for application papers for the DSMME. (Hope you don't mind that I answered DC!)
DiscerningCatholic Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 It's fine. :) Round two has begun... *sigh* I need to get off Facebook for a while.
DiscerningCatholic Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Talking with Sr. Peter Marie in 40 minutes :unsure:
AveMariaPurissima Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Talking with Sr. Peter Marie in 40 minutes :unsure: Prayers going up! :pray: :amen:
DiscerningCatholic Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Not as of right now; she wants me to come up in the summer sometime for a weekend retreat. :) I still am discerning with the DSMME but I want to visit the Nashies nonetheless.
DiscerningCatholic Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 It happened again. Not going to elaborate now. Just pray for me.
SilentJoy Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 It happened again. Not going to elaborate now. Just pray for me. :cry3: Prayers for you.
DiscerningCatholic Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 Found my second grade Catechism workbook... :love: Wish I was still like that!
TheresaThoma Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Awww so cute! No wonder our Lord tells us that unless we have the faith of a child we will not enter the kingdom of heaven!
domenica_therese Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Are you familiar with St. Teresa of Avila's book Interior Castle? Her perspective on the purpose of spiritual trials in the natural progression of the spiritual life has been enormously consoling to me in my vocational journey.
DiscerningCatholic Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 Aha...I bought a copy of that around 2 years ago and am STILL stuck on the first two paragraphs. :|
beatitude Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 DiscerningCatholic, there is a short and sweet version of that, written by a Carmelite nun in England. ;) And she has included some lovely touching cartoon drawings. I find her little books a beautiful help to understanding St Teresa's original writings in everyday, down-to-earth language.
DiscerningCatholic Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 No, not stuck as in "OMCheese this is so confusing." It's bad, but not that bad. :P It's just that there's this one part in the second paragraph that says " It is no small misfortune and disgrace that, through our own fault, we neither understand our nature nor our origin. Would it not be gross ignorance, my daughters, if, when a man was questioned about his name, or country, or parents, he could not answer?" Just...LOADED.
domenica_therese Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Well you should keep reading because the rest of the book is all about how to fix that exile from yourself. :)
