veritas99 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Well the feb retreat at SMME is this weekend. SO I thought I might just post and ask people to remember in your prayers those on the retreat. There were a few from Phatmass going. I think reatreat ends sunday at 3pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniteAdoremus Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 There must be people back from the retreat by now, mustn't there? STORIES! PICTURES! Not that I'm curious or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be_thou_my_vision Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 The retreat was very good. I found that God is not calling me there, and that I feel called elsewhere, and she said GOOOOOD!! It surprized me, but she was very happy that I am still listening to God and that I am willing to follow. It was a very peaceful retreat. An aquantence from my church back home that I didn't know was coming was there, and found she was called there this weekend and got papers! She's only been discerning for a couple of months, and she hadn't told her mom that she was looking into religious communities. She also had to break up with her boyfriend... ahhh! Keep her in your prayers! She feels really good about it, and I'm really happy for her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterDominicus Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Um....hahaha, I dont know where to really start my little summary up. It was a FANTASTIC, BEAUTIFUL, EMOTIONAL retreat, better then the first one I attended in November. I found particularly in Eucharistic Adoration mostly after it that God was calling me even more strongly to the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist then He did like 4 days ago - I still have a couple complications - I was really stubborn with Sister Joseph Andrew, hahaha, I was determined and still am in a more calm way I guess to kinda get the "message through", I had an interesting conference with Sister at the Motherhouse which ended in her ordering me to go to bed, hahaha, God love Sister, and I guess in a way I knew Feb was a little to early to ask, but it didnt hurt to try! And I think Sister agrees, we've sent like 9 emails back and forth since I've been back. And one of them was really interesting that left my contemplating. The really only BAD thing about the weekend was I lost my Social Security, my two student ID cards, my birth certificate, and my banking account. My WHOLE LIFE is 800 miles away and the sisters cant find it, and on a side note, I am going through a little bit more suffering and withdrawal.

It is wonderful too that the other lady from your parish did hear "YES". May God keep you close to His heart so that you can be led by Him to where He wants you to be.

SisterAli Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 As I previously mentioned in the thread (Additions and Changes in Religious Life) ....this has been a LONG awaited...message! I, for personal reasons did not disclose that I was attending this retreat right away. But I did....and um...hehe it literally changed my life. If you would like to read my (writing) on it and how the retreat was for me personally, please send me a private message and I would be glad to send it to you. Please pray for me....as I'm in a time of transition and making some changes....and some emotional situations. God Bless, Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
