[right][snapback]894068[/snapback][/right] [/quote] 3... Karin and Jessica were aspirants last year but left, Karin because she had to return to school, and Jessica due to homesickness. I think two will be entering this year. Edited February 22, 2006 by brendan1104

TeresaAvila Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Welcome and YAY another St. Louisan!!! Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos, your daughter is such a blessing and this looks like such a lovely community, and I just have to say I think it is wonderful to see parents here (you and OLAMDad) supporting and sharing about their childrens vocations, there's no great gift than to give of ones child to our lord!! May god bless you all and know that I am keeping your Family, Sr. Marjorie and her community in my prayers!! God Bless you!
photosynthesis Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 God bless her! thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. she really does look happy. wasn't she having some kind of back problem awhile ago?
OLAM Dad Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 What was Sr. Marjorie's PM name? From time to time old posts pop up and I often wonder what happened to some of the people that aren't around anymore. Besides, knowing how successfull her discernment seems to have been, it will be particularily interesting to see how she approached her discernment. Kind of a 'lessons learned' exercise.
franciscanheart Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Chorusgirl was her pm name... here's her profile: [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showuser=2326"]LINK[/url]
Incarnate Word Postulant Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 [quote name='zunshynn' date='Feb 21 2006, 06:08 PM']Now do you see why you should wear a habit?! : [right][snapback]894096[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Well....the habit does´n´t mke the nun. Her grin comes from her heart being so in love with God... I´m still praying about the habit.
cmotherofpirl Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 One thing about the habit is that it paradoxically, makes every nun or sister stand out. Because they all look the same, you can more clearly see their shining spirits. The superficial is gone, and the heart shines thru.
OP_MOM Posted February 22, 2006 Author Posted February 22, 2006 Wow! The support here is absolutely wonderful! I wish that I'd known more about this forum a long time ago. To answer a few questions from the thread: [b][i]Someone asked about when Sr. Marjorie would be clothed: [/i][/b] The timing for that event is determined by the Community on an individual basis. For now I don't have a specific date. [b][i]Concerning Sr. Marjorie's transition to the monastery:[/i][/b] As a mother who feared the eventuality of not being needed, deep down inside me I hoped that Sr. Marjorie would write about being homesick, bored or ill - anything that would give me the excuse to run down there and drag her back home. Her letters have always been upbeat and quickly proved to me that the only adjustment necessary would be my own. Over the nine months that she has been in Lockport, I have gradually come to terms with Sr. Marjorie's "fiat". When we made our family visit last week, any remaining doubts vanished as soon as I set eyes on her. In spite of any rumors to the contrary, she is the picture of health and more peaceful than I've ever seen her. For anyone interested in writing to Sr. Marjorie here is the address: [b] Sister Marjorie c/o Mistress of Novices Dominican Monastery of the Heart of Jesus 155 Church Street Lockport, Louisiana 70374-2552[/b]
franciscanheart Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks for the address OP_MOM! I look forward to writing her!
Laurentina1975 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) Thanks OP Mom! I pray for Marjorie every night before bed! She is an inspiration to every young person seeking holiness. She is like a little Saint in the making. Some of the pictures that you put up in the last few threads didn't all show up. Are there any of her with her family? We'd love to see you and her dad! God bless!!! Lauren Edited February 23, 2006 by Laurentina1975
Laurentina1975 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 Hi again OP Mom, I was wondering if you had anymore pictures to share of your visit? Like a family photo? That would be soooo great! Some of the photos didn't come up in the thread.... I am so glad that you are so supportive of your daughters vocation to the church and Jesus, she is such a wonderful example to everyone here! Thank you, Thank you! Lauren
