AveMariaPurissima Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Thank you for adding that! I guess it's kind of easy to forget that there are other people my age discerning as well. Thank you! :) You're welcome. :)
maximillion Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 You are so right cartermia, there are often bumps and knocks on the way to the RL. :saint2:
cartermia Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Oh um yeah that is exactly what I meant... :saint2: NO :evil:
SilentJoy Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I asked a Discalced Carmelite how I could tell if I had a possible vocation or if it was just my personality. She said that grace builds on nature; it is possible that God gave me my personality BECAUSE he had given me the vocation that my personality seemed to gravitate toward. ...and then she got to know me and said, "Well, they say 'extroverts make the best nuns' for a reason..." rotfl
SilentJoy Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Good! The reason I asked is because Luna Lovegood is commonly referred to and seen as socially awkward and not having many friends, and yet she turns to be one of the coolest and nicest characters. My favorite character!
PhuturePriest Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 My favorite character! Fun fact: If I could marry any Harry Potter character, it would be Luna.

RoseOfGuadalupe Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hi! I'm in the same boat. I'm just sitting and waiting for what God has in mind. (I'm feeling Carmel)
ThereseMaria Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 Hi! I'm in the same boat. I'm just sitting and waiting for what God has in mind. (I'm feeling Carmel) That's pretty much me right now... :D If you don't mind me asking this, is there anything in particular about the Carmel that attracts you? For me, a lot of it is how it has a missionary spirit... The idea of giving one's life to his/her Spouse, and to pray for the people of the world, really caught my attention... And the simplicity, as well.
