Trip To Alton IL

[AlterDominicus]

So for a while I was a little distressed, working reallllly hardddddddd like you couldnt believe, and finally Sister Stephania from La Crosse emailed me, saying someone dropped out and that I would be in. (I had inquired earlier) I was sooooooo happy, its this Sunday - Weds. If you could just please pray for us who are going - and pray for our wonderful Franciscan Sisters. Such a blessing and grace. Thank God, and also pray for my friend Tracy - for the invitations for this and MI retreat.

I'm glad you're able to go now. It should be a fun trip. A freind of mine, Emilie Kenney will be receving the habit so that will be really to see her and support her. Some of my seminarian freinds will be at it is well they will be coming from Nashville because they went there for the stuff there. A UST grad recived the habit and another UST grad was making first professions in Nashville.

Really?? That's so funny

[brandelynmarie]

You know...maybe all phatmassers should wear name tags when on retreat or going to the monastery or convent! You could be standing next to one & never know it! : Of course, there are many on here who appreciate being unknown! Prayers here too!

[AlterDominicus]

I have to remind her today, I've been so busy washing clothes, and etc...for the trip. Its insane! lol It litterally feels like my body is running ahead of me.

Yay, Emilie! Trace, if you have pictures of Emilie receiving the habit, post for us would you? And tell us about your trip when you return! Oh, and give us the update on Sr. Elizabeth Marie and Sr. Malina down in Nashville, if you heard anything.

Blessings.

It was awesome I cried the whole time. There were 7 Bishops there and lots of priests. Emilie ( Sister Mary Faustina looked amazing) I didn't have a camera so I couldn't take any pictures. I was ableto talk to her for quite awhile. When the postulants left and came back in their habits and white veils I was so happy for each one of them. They all looked so radiant. The Sisters who made thier first profession they looked like they would jsut float right out of the Church. I was amazing, I can't even find words. I think Malin'a name is something like Sister Karol Maria but I'm not sure, I know Karol is in there.
