[quote name='daugher-of-Mary' date='Jan 3 2005, 09:37 PM'] yep! Only I hadn't met her until we got picked up by the Sisters and their minivan at the airport...
Sister commented, "well, it looks like we've picked up the Visitation!"


Yours in Christ-

I remember when you two were introduced, sister was like "Meet the Visitation!" (I, being slow, was SO confused. Until it clocked).

We should start a thread on Nun funniness. I have some stooories.

Here is a thread Angela created that has all kinds of cool nun stuff in it.....

Wonderful order.

So adorable, they visited a classroom of young kids and they asked these questions:

Sister Jude (formerly Sister Tracy) used to be a Phatmasser as well. I think her PM name was Veritas99. So glad to see she's become a novice--thanks for the post, Dame!

I met Sr. Louise Marie and Sr. Mary Anthony at the last "Ignite Your Torch" conference in Kentucky.
They are very nice and so open! I've decided to go to Casa... someday. Hopefully soon.

Tally, I love your photo. Is that Saint Francis? He looks so in love! Love it!

JoyfulLife, yes, it's Saint Francis. I always think this is how he must have looked when he got the stigmata. I imagine he was staring at the crucifix. Thanx!

I like your photo, too. Baby Jesus just seems to be saying, "I love my mom! Don't you wish you had her, too?"

Pax!

[Sarah147]

I saw a painting on St. Francis in ecstasy that was made in Italy. Amazing.

The paintings of St. Francis gazing into Jesus' eyes while He lean down from the Cross... Amazing as well.
