magnificat Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Bummer...can't go...have a wedding that weekend
HisChild Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 You're getting married !!!! j/k : I won't be able to go either. Sounds like fun!
Laurentina1975 Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Yeah, I am going. Magnificant....why? WHY wHy WhY? How could you not go? Why? It's on Saturday aren't weddings usually on Sundays? I dunno....I ain't never getting married.
passionheart Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Geez, Reading all these posts, I wish I could go this year. It looks like it could be a real phatmass meeting. However, I can't go the ordination of a friend, and go to the IRL conference. It is too bad because it looks like it will be a wonderful meeting. Last year, it was during the meeting when John Paul II died. All through the weekend we prayed for our ailing Pope and when the end did come we supported each other in our grief. Later, I thought how I blessed I was to be at the conference when our Holy Father died. I was with people who really loved him and I thought how there was no where else I wanted to be at that moment. God is generous. DM

I was the good looking black woman on the front cover!!
HisChild Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I get that publication, but I can't remember the cover. . . And of course, I've been getting ready to leave for the monastery, so I've thrown most everything away.

Also, on a side note, I've read a lot of Dominican books, and I kept seeing this name "Sister Mary Thomas Noble, OP" listed under the translators. And I kept wondering in my head, "Who is this woman?" Finally, a break through! In one of my books it mentioned she lived in Buffalo, and was elected Abbess of her community--is this the community of sisters that you visited?

Yes, part of her work is translation and of course she sits on the Council. I like her very much because she loves Shakespeare and any friend of Shakespeare is a friend of mine. : P.S. The Religious LIife issue I mentioned is the one in regards to the IRL conference last year. I told Sr. Joseph Andrew if my being a "Cover Girl " would increase my chances of different orders issuing me invitations

It would have been wonderful to meet fellow phatmassers because every year I am alone there. Although last year I met a fellow older discerner and we became fast friends. Generously, she gave me some money towards my "Nun Fund". O well, I think Lord wants me sit this year out and not spread myself to thin. My next trip is Genesee Abbey to witness the ordaination of my good friend and partner in crime Br. Stephen. I can hardly wait!! I hope everyone has wonderful weekend!!!
