As the ball dropped in Times Square last night, I realized for me it marked the beginning of my own countdown to the monastery.

My entrance date is Janaury 16 and even I know how fast time moves. After all Decemeber seemed to fly!!!

So on this Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God, I ask for prayers for my preparation for entering the Dominican Nuns of the Perpetual Rosary in Buffalo.

Blessings.

O yes: Fifteen days to go!!!

I am so excited for you! I have realized how much you've wanted this and for how long. . . so in a way, I'm DOUBLY excited for you as you've leapt hurdles in your desire to do God's will.

God bless you. . I'll be praying for you!

Donna thank you so much for everything you've done for me, and for all your prayers, and just being a sister, and a friend.

My love and prayers will always go and be with you.

Here's a beautiful one page site on the cloistered Dominican Nuns in Buffalo ...

Maybe you can visit the Discalced Carmelite Nuns in Buffalo before you enter. They have an incredibly beautiful old monastery and their chanting is heavenly ... :saint:

Thanks Sister, believe me the feeling is mutual.

It was a real blessing that landed me on phatmass because up to this point, I was feeling rather lonely in my vocation. Not anymore!!!

[size=6]14 Days to go :D: [/size]

After the day I spent at work today, I am looking forward to going!! :blink:

Oh, I can't believe it's so SOON! It was just a few days ago that you were telling me you were applying. . . :unsure: Well maybe longer than a few days, now that I think about it! Time does get away. . . .

Can you share more about this wonderful order that you are entering?? How many nuns do they have? What draws you to the apostolate of the Rosary?
thanks,

[ :) i]Best of luck as you follow God's plan for your life. Certainly He is a God of surprises and will not let you down. Savor the memory of these days of anticipation - the memory will carry you if you ever doubt or question your call. Your joy is infectious (even through the internet).
