Let Me Run This Past You...

[Gabriela]

Sorry, I haven't forgotten about this thread. I am just working long night shifts at the moment . I will be off nights after the weekend. But out of interest, how many Phatmassers would be interested in joining a group like this if it existed?

 

I'm not quite old enough yet, I don't think, but I'll be there soon...

 

Anyway, just bumping your thread! ;-)

I also have not forgotten the thread; I have a houseguest this weekend, and so I am letting it simmer under the watchful eye of the Holy Spirit, like a good stew.... to be enjoyed when it is ready... ;)

I am in exactly the same boat you are in.  EXACTLY.  You are probably not as old as you think you are.  There are many communities that accept "mature vocations."  Many will take each person on an individual basis even if they do not advertise this way.  What type of religious vocation or community do you feel called to?  If you want to send me a personal note feel free, and I can give you some ideas.

 

I would not advertise as such.  BUT, one of these wonderful responders suggested getting several people together to tell their story and to get someone to write an article.  Maybe that's the way to go.  Get the Church talking about it.  Discussion often opens minds and doors.  Good Luck
