puellapaschalis Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Greetings all, for the last couple of months I've become something of a lurker here on Phatmass; this is partly due to my life becoming extraordinarily busy, but mainly due to an instruction-request from someone-with-authority () that I refrain from discussing my discernment with all but a very few people. It's tough for a chatterbox like myself, but it's also a joy to obey: he knows what is best for me and is, of course (), right. My main purpose here is to ask for your prayers; I've been invited to visit a House and will spend a weekend there next month. If you would all spare a prayer for me between now and then I would be grateful. Love and prayers, PP
stlmom Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Consider it done, PP. Hope it is a Benedictine house that you're visiting, but that's just my personal inclination, you know.
Totus Tuus Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 We hold you close in prayer during your discernment. You'll be rewarded by your obedience, and hopefully before long we can hear more details But we'll be patient, too
puellapaschalis Posted March 11, 2007 Author Posted March 11, 2007 Dear All, thank you so much for your prayers and good wishes. They mean a great deal to me. May God continue to bless you all during this Lenten season. Love and prayers, PP

You are in my prayers. Please pray for me. Even though I am joining a non-cloistered community , there is no on-line access for those in initial formation. I'll be praying for your Benedictine journey though. Peace, Pia
puellapaschalis Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Dear All, my visit is approaching rapidly - please pray for me, especially that I can keep the ear of my heart wide open to what God wishes to whisper to me. Yes, I'm getting a little nervous PP
Starets Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Still praying for your emotional, physical, and spiritual health, PreciousPuella
Piamaria Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 You are in my prayers. Take care of yourself. Piamaria
puellapaschalis Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 It's amazing what an email from a monastery about your visit and travel arrangements can do in terms of injecting some joy into your heart. God is good! PP
Starets Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 That is really good to hear, sweetie But, you know me. I am an affectionate old fool who loves you to bits

No way does it ever get THAT cold in OHIO, or does it?

puellapaschalis Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 Thank you for your prayers; I was there this weekend (arrived back home a few hours ago). I have much to think and pray about, and the first thing I'm doing tomorrow morning is going to my parish priest and asking him when I can sit down and talk at him and then get some advice. PP
