stlmom Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Will certainly keep you in my prayers.I have a great respect for the Benedictine Rule--what a great monastic tradition within the Church! Keep us posted on your journey, OK? BTW, are you applying to Conception Abbey? Just wondered, since you are from Kansas City, right?
shortnun Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 *sounds of prayers storming heaven* <--------- after all, this is Phatmass. Prayers abound here! Dom, many prayers from the other side of the state for you. Prayers of thanksgiving that you've persevered and answered God's call for your life. Prayers of thanksgiving for the community who opened their home to you. Prayers of widsom, courage, and strength in this coming time as you await a decision.
HisChild Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Prayers for you, to be sure! Please let us know if you are accepted God bless you!

avemaria40 Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) I'm praying for you Edited March 19, 2006 by avemaria40
djc08 Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Oh my gosh...I was reading your first post and didn't know you were from Kansas City and I was like...YAY I love the Benedictines. They run Conception Abbey near Kansas City where Conception Seminary is. I wonder where this guy is from! And then stlmom asked if you were talking about Conception and you were. So that just made my day! Anway I'll for sure pray for you. I've considered becoming and Benedicine but I love the Franciscan's too. I live in Shelbina, MO in the Jeff City Diocese. I'm close to Quincy Ill. which is really Franciscan so I have seen great things from both Orders.

God's Will be done! I think it's awesome -- don't think of them as obstacles, think of them as gifts! God tries to use everything for good (if we let Him)! ditto on the prayers...

HisChild Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Dom, Have you heard anything yet? We're still praying!
