DiscerningSoul Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) I promissed the Lockport Dominicans I would pray for vocations to there community. Dearest Lord please bless the community of the Lockport Dominicans with many vocations full of zeal to carry a cross of sacerfice for the savation of souls. That they may grow in grace under your loving care and support. I also pray for those who are entering a community and my be suffering from homesickness. Dearest Lord watch over those who suffer the pain of homesickness when giving them self to you, have you hand always leading them to peace, support them in there time of need and let them know that there suffering now reaps so many rewards later. God bless all those vocations! Edited September 4, 2006 by DiscerningSoul
franciscanheart Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 I pray for vocations in my parish community and vocations to the Franciscans of the Renewal - both friars and sisters.
Nunsense Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 For those who haven't seen the video of a Lockport clothing ceremony (from postulant to novice), please PM me and I will send you the link. I can't post it here because there are other video links on the same site (Louisiana, the State We're In). I wold also like to ask for prayers for vocations to [url="http://www.osbcanyontx.org/"]St Benedict's Monastery [/url] in Canyon TX.

[/quote] TeresaofAvila, thank you for your prayers. I would like to add the Tyburn Nuns to your list of vocation prayers. I will be visiting them for 3 weeks over Easter and am very happy about it. Mother Xavier said I would be living in the enclosure with the novices and following their schedule. It is very daunting and scary, but also very exciting and joyful. Pray for me too please.
TeresaAvila Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Nunsense, How exciting, Have you started a countdown thread? I will definately be keeping you in my prayers! Your live-in will be a wonderful experience, you'll be a bit nervous adn unsure at first, but the sisters will help you and if your experience is anything like mine, you'll come to the end of your time there and NOT want to go home!

[/quote] I haven't started the countdown yet because I am still researching cheap flights to London from California. I am looking at somewhere around March 22 to leave California and then returning 3 weeks later. I think American Airlines might have the cheapest flights so far, but I am looking at things like leaving from Los Angelese instead of Sacramento (my closest airport) or even from JFK if I can get a cheap flight to there from Sac -- lots of online research right now. As soon as I have an actualy flight booked, then I will start counting down! I also have to do some shopping to get the things she asked me to bring.... But yes, I am excited - but very scared that I won't measure up either. It's a good thing I like to pray a lot - lol!
TeresaAvila Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) Nunsense, I'll keep your flight information in mind as I'm a flight attendant so if I hear of any upcoming discounted deals I'll be sure to pass along the info to you or if I can help in any way, dont' hesitate to ask! in regards your livein, I undestand your feeligns as I too have felt this way, and just remember this "God does not call the qualified, but Qualifies the Called!" SO just leave yourself in our lords hands and entrust your vocation to our blessed mothers prayers and if it his will he will give you the graces to live out his holy will!

How great that you are a flight attendant - you get to travel all over to check out orders! Which Carmel are you entering - or haven't you decided yet?
TeresaAvila Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Yes I've been fortunate to have had the oppertunity to travel and visit other communities in other states, and I will be entering the Holy Spirit Adoration Sisters, I do love st. Teresa of Avila, and thought in the beginning of my discernment I was called to Carmel, but our lord had other plans and it's interesting as one of my communities Patrons is St. Teresa What order are you discerning with?

You say that the aspirants, postulants and novices all wear the same habit? How do you tell them apart? That's unique that you can be sent, even though it is a cloistered monastery, to any of their monasteries in the world. I love their chapel. It was one place, regrettably, I never had the chance to visit when I was in STL as a travel nurse! Edit: it posted twice! Edited January 16, 2007 by HisChild
