So that means you can't have sex...

You know what, saying Mass is better than sex. (I know this will raise a couple of eyebrows).

If you will make a good mother, then you will make a [i]perfect[/i] nun! It's disgusting how people today look on chastity as shameful, they see purity as something you need to rid of as soon as possible in your life. So many people think that when you become a nun you are sacrificing all of your motherly tendencies, when rather you are putting them to most good use!

that's very true lori!! :

[quote name='the lords sheep' post='1263724' date='May 3 2007, 09:57 PM'] You can't get married?
I'm always rather amused when people say this, and I tend to pretend for a just minute that that's the first time I had ever heard that priests/Sisters don't marry....

One of my favorites came recently... a classmate asked me if I had ever discerned, and I said that I was open to the will of God. She then asked, "You know, you can't... ya know.... do [i]IT[/i]???"

I told her I thought I'd done okay for the past 22 years.... :
Anyway... just have patience and know that you may be the only person discerning that they've ever come in contact with. It may not seem radical to you, but it is to them, and they're both questioning your motives and admiring your commitment to your faith.

On another note, You'll have to answer stupider questions as a priest.... [/quote]


Yeah I have always wanted to do that to people Cause that happens all the time. especially the "IT"

I agree with you.
Sex is nice, but it isn't all there is.
Mass is an expression of "Perfect Love."
Isn't that what we are ALL searching for?
