Has Someone Ever Told You?

[John Paul]

A nun and a monk say there is no doubt I have a vocation to religious life.

A French site had a great saying.  Rough translation : "One nudge may not be a nudge.  Several nudges are a sign."

[NadaTeTurbe]

A priest told me I would have been a perfect priest. 

I'm a girl 

(in the same thing... Our priest told us, during a charismatic prayer, a man with the gift of prophecy stand up. Silence. Everyone is waiting for the prophecy. He show a young woman... "You... In less than one year, you will be a sister in (name of the community) ! your vocation is to be a sister". Silence. The husband of the young woman sigh "How can I announce it to our kid...") 

More seriously, 3 sisters, from the same community, ask me, in my life, "have you ever think about being a sister" and I answered "wait, sisters are cool, ok, but not for me."  I would love to see these sisters and "Hmm, now, I'm thinking about it..."

Sorry, put a word wrong in my last post.  Correct reading : One nudge may not be a sign (not "may not be a nudge").  Several nudges are a sign."

Also, as you probably realized, the Little Sisters' Motherhouse is in the Diocese of Rennes.

This has been a day for doing things backwards.

I remember the very first time I went on pilgrimage to Walsingham, I was just walking around the shrine church and I ran into a sister of the Anglican Society of St Margaret and she just said that she felt that I needed to pray the rosary with her and I did.  After that she said that she had felt the aura of sanctity just emanate from me and she had just needed to pray with me, I was only 10! 

I popped down to Walsingham before my retreat and I ran into that same sister.  I just thanked her opening my eyes to my vocation and I had a little cry on her shoulder just because of the pure emotion of being able to say that she had had such a huge effect on my life.

Always the opposite in fact ( 'YOU???? A NUN?!???) !

[AveMariaPurissima]

Last semester my philosophy professor out of nowhere asked me, "Do you want to be a nun?  Because you remind me of a girl I had in one of my other classes who entered the convent."

​Maybe that saying is correct but I don't know:

My aunt, retired 8th grade teacher, etc...

I once had a priest tried to drop me off with his sister who had entered. My mom was not to thrilled with the idea of a 13 year old being a nun...

Two seminarians (one has known me all my life, the other had just met me that summer) asked me while I was working on flowers in church if I was discerning...

After Mass one day after I finished serving (yes I serve, shocker!) my (now) SD asked me if I was possibly discerning. Father didn't even know my name and it was the first time I had ever served with him.

One sister (when I was 5) told my grandmother that I was to do great things one day and that I would enter...

And a couple other incidents have happened like this...
