passionheart Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 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!!!
Divine_Mercy504 Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Oh! Congratulations! How very exciting this time must be for you! You will be in my prayers. Rachel
HisChild Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 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!

Chiquitunga Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Here's a beautiful one page site on the cloistered Dominican Nuns in Buffalo ... [url="http://www.dominicannunsofbuffalo.org/"]http://www.dominicannunsofbuffalo.org/[/url] 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 ...

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 : [/size] After the day I spent at work today, I am looking forward to going!! Edited January 3, 2007 by passionheart
HisChild Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Oh, I can't believe it's so SOON! It was just a few days ago that you were telling me you were applying. . . Well maybe longer than a few days, now that I think about it! Time does get away. . . .
alicemary Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 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, AliceM
