Parents

[quote name='magnificat' date='Dec 20 2005, 06:29 PM']Thanks for everyone's insight.  Short of actually figuring out what God wants me to do, this is the next hardest part about discerning.  I've been discerning for about 6 months now and I still haven't told my parents that I think I'm being called to the religious life.  I used to think that the hardest part would be talking to a vd but now that I've done that, it doesn't seem nearly as hard as telling my parents.    I really don't want to because I fell like it'll only make discerning more difficult.

I know exactly what you mean. I am in the same boat. Pray for your parents, pray a novena for them in fact. What will make discernment more difficult is if you [i]don't[/i] tell them. Trust me, it's trying to keep secret the most important One in your life from the people you love and that is not easy. So pray to Our Lord to show you the right time to tell them. Also, have others pray for you whenever you decide to tell your parents. I am praying for you also!
