I am part of a group that comes together First Saturdays for Reparation and Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. After the homily, Father called me up to give a gift from the group. The Little Office of Mary, a gorgeous rosary and Living Enrolement in the Little Flower Society. I couldn't believe it I started to cry. It will be my last first Saturday together with some beautiful people who love our Blessed Mother Ok, it is time I answer some questions that people have asked in this thread: First the one above. Yes, I did ask Mother about the pictures but the postulant ceremony is a private cermony so pictures can't be taken. Sorry!! Writing: Yes I can accept letters but letters to friends are limited. I don't believe I have access to email in the novitiate. So we are back to snail mail. I will PM the monastery address to Hugleyforlife. I am trying to convince my brother to pop on phatmass every once and awhile to give you updates. A little about Dominican Buffalo, First of all I have to admit, I don't have a strong devotion to the rosary. In that I mean I don't pray everyday but when I do pray the rosary it is takes me a long time. Why? I get lost in the mediation on the mysteries. This is a loving community. These women are in love with the Lord and they do love each other. It was quite obvious to me when I was did my aspirancy with them. I felt welcomed and loved during the time I was there despite some of my mistakes. One of my mistakes had the community laughing. Later Sr. Rose wanted to reassure me that the community wasn't laughing at me. I told Sr. Rose that I knew the community was laughing with me and I was fine. There are about 25 women in the community. When I enter there will someone there in the novitiate and someone coming in March. Hopefully we see Brandee in October. Who knows who will come next. There is another Canadian Sister from Vancouver Island. I going try to have the house celebrate both Thanksgiving in honour of us Also, there are some sisters from Europe. One sister was an active Dominican Sister in Switzerland but felt the call to contemplative life. Call to the Apostalate I guess Sr. Catherine could answer this question better but it is difficult to know what draws me to the contemplative life. For years my friends told me I had a gift prayer, I told them they were nuts. Later, I understood what this meant and then I found myself desiring to live a life of prayer. I felt a desire... a thirst for the desert. Although, I realized a life of prayer was my vocation, I thought it would be lived in the world. I had applied in past to communities but only to active ones, I never considered the cloister. So I tried to live the life of prayer in the world but still felt empty. So it was on the advice of SJA that I look at the cloister and this particular cloister. I went out of respect to SJA, and I assumed they would tell me "Good bye and Thanks for Coming out". Oh Well, Wrong Again!!! Edited January 7, 2007 by passionheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
