cmaD2006 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Here I go again .... It had looked like the financial situation was going to be in order for my entrance in Spring 2007 ... however now there is a family emergency going on (my mom is very ill). Long story short -- not only will this affect my entrance date; this throws a big, major kink into the finances. -- Carmen

DeoOptimoMaximo Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Dear Sisters, I have received bad/good news on the financial debt and loan matter...... the bad news is that I have to take out the $14,000+ loans in order to pay this year's seminary tuition, etc..., but the good news is that my community, the Glenmary Home Missioners has told me that once I enter the novitiate (after I finish here at the Pontifical College Josephinum seminary in Columbus, OH,) Glenmary will take over/absorb the loans and debt!!!! (I truly hope this will be the case, as they are in a deficit!) Although I was hoping not to put myself in the hole any further, I am so very thankful for their promise of future assistance!! Another wonderful miracle happened today: I finally received a response from the local Knights of Columbus, who I wrote back in november, and they stated today that they will be sending me a check for $800 yearly for the next 2 years in order to help me! I credit all these actions to your prayers, and that of the saints, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help!!!! : I still have a ways to go, but out of this darkness, light has shone down on this poor little soul!! God is so good!!!!!! You are in my prayers and thoughts!!! In Christ, Your Brother, the Broke Son, ~Shawn
TeresaAvila Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 am so happy for you that the KOC's are helping you, and your order will help with your debt, that's awesome!! I continue to pray that all goes well with your debt and vocation!

God Bless You!
VeniteAdoremus Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 : That's fantastic! Especially the people at your job - it's wonderful to see people being so supportive!
stlmom Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I am so glad to see everything start to fall in place for you!

Long story short -- not only will this affect my entrance date; this throws a big, major kink into the finances. -- Carmen[/quote] Hi Phamily: Just to let you all know, my mom passed away Feb. 9. It was a peaceful and beautiful death. Now to the financial -- yep my debts have grown instead of decreased. I ended up taking 3 weeks (at least) unpaid, and had additional debts due to the sudden trips (three of us travelled). In addition I've helped out my sister with her move ... that added a couple of hundred. Things are happening though -- I've found an apartment that is 1/2 the rent of the one that I'm in, and I have 3 people interested in purchasing my car. Please keep this all in prayer ... there are a couple of very important decisions that I need to make soon. I really do want to make the right decisions but with all that has happened its difficult to take a definitive step. My spiritual director also thinks that fear is getting in the way as well.
Jennifer Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I am so sorry to learn that your Mom has passed away and send my sincere sympathies to you and your family at this time.You will be in my prayers and I hope that everything will work out well for you. God Bless and LOL
TeresaAvila Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I am so sorry to hear about your moms passing away, know that I wil be praying for all of you, and I will continue to pray for your debt situation, and that's is great news about your apartment and possible sale of your car, although we have cross our lord also sends many blessings!! ((((HUGS))))
Piamaria Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I'm sorry for your Mom's death. You are in my prayers. Peace.
Nunsense Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I will pray for you and for the soul of your mother. I will ask Our Holy Mother to keep watch over you now and always.
stlmom Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 Got a letter in the mail today from Passionheart (Donna Marie) who is a postulant at the Dominican Monastery in Buffalo, NY. She says hello to all of you and she's doing fine. She's keeping everyone in her prayers...thought you'd like to know!
alicemary Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I was just thinking of her the other day and said a little prayer for her. How wonderful that she continues to persevere in that little community.

HollyDolly Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I want to join up too.Years ago I had looked into various communites for information.I did visit the Discalded Carmelites in San Antonio,with a thought about jioning them.However,my mother had a stroke and I helped take care of her,so the whole thing went by the way side.I could check into perhasp becoming a secular Carmelite or a member of a secular institute. But I know I would have to get rid of any debt even for this.I will be praying for you all and hope things come true for you in your vocation quest,Jesus willing.
cmaD2006 Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Time to *bump* this thread back up to the top :-). Good news -- I'm more than 1/2 way paid the credit card debt that I had. I had debt on two cards; then transferred most of the debt from one to another (zero percent rate for 6 months). Then started paying them off. This includes the expenses that I had due to my mom's illness and death; and having to take (more than) two weeks unpaid. So I think I'm definitely on track for a January entrance :-). BTW -- I've been lighting candles on a frequent basis for many intentions ... the next candle will be for those on this list. Praise God!
