TheresaThoma Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I get a 500 dollar stipend but they do vary widely between groups.
TheresaThoma Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Went to the monestary today! It was wonderful, but now I am tired.
TheresaThoma Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Ok since I kind of killed this thread I figure I should ressurect it. I don't want to say too much on here right now but I could really use some prayers for my discernment. I think things are going to start progressing with my discernment here soon. Though I think right now the Holy Spirit is asking me to take some "desert" time. Some time to retreat and pray.

Pray for me, too, right now is a time for me to wait and listen. PM me if you want to talk about anything.
MargaretTeresa Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I'm praying for you, TT. Pray for me too. My religious life discernment has been resurrected. :w00t:
ChristinaTherese Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 News: I'm going to visit Emma's old community on my way to Spain. I just need to find out when and if I need to find a way to deal with a few extra days in the middle.... (I mean, I could visit my brother. I'll ask him after he gets home from Mass and calls me. I might have misled him by saying that it had something to do with him acting as a forwarding address while my location is varied or unknown... which it totally does, but I want to ask for more than that.)
ChristinaTherese Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I just talked to my brother, and I can go visit him for the two days I'll have in between. And we can go to NYC for a day and enjoy before I fly out in the evening. (In the evening because basically all trans-Atlantic flights are red-eyes, and I'm going to Madrid.) I think it's liable to cost all of the money that I had extra and wanted to use to visit Rome... but oh well. I also want to visit nuns, and that's more pertinent and I guess it's more worth my money.
Hemma Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Last weekend I drove 8 hours by train (twice, that means together 16 h) just to stay two days. And it's a great community. There are some things which I didn't expect (e. g. the choir sounds rather weak) but I think they could be my future. Everything is so new and unfamiliar still. Oh, after such a long time of searching and waiting. I can't believe it - can this be true? Well I think I shall go for a longer visit and then we'll see.
MargaretTeresa Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Less than three weeks until a week long retreat with the FSP in NOLA. So excited! :) :nun2:
Hemma Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 It's always exciting for me to guess and research which community is meant by the various acronyms here on phatmass :hehe2:
AnneLine Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I'm pretty sure I know the answers..... FSP - Daughters of St. Paul NOLA - isn't a community -- it's a place... New Orleans!
