angelusdomini Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Hi, I just wanted to say that I will soon be leaving the phorum. I was accepted to enter the Franciscan Sisters Minor as a postulant on 17 May 2007. That's roughly one week away. I know I haven't been on here too much in the recent past- at least activiely contributing. However, it has been an edifying experience to read the posts and follow the conversations on the phorum especially here at VS. I pray that our loving God will continue to avail His grace on all who trully seek to do His will. I will come on and off periodically but right now I'm trying to tie up all my biz- acquiring what I need before I enter etc. one week and a half is hardly time at all. Anyway, please graciously keep me in your prayers. [size=2][i] [color="#FF8C00"]Laudatur Jesus Christus![/color][/i][/size] Anne pax et bonum
HeavenlyCalling Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Are they in MA? I think I met one of their postulents last year, Jackie. But it could be a different order. Prayers for you!!!
Margaret Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 God Bless you and Congrats : how exciting you will be in my prayers
Chiquitunga Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 The Franciscan Sisters Minor seem really awesome!! I found a little reference to them here, with their way of life and everything: [url="http://www.haloscan.com/comments/geraldaugustinus/115415313775847141/#226313"]http://www.haloscan.com/comments/geraldaug...5847141/#226313[/url] I think it's great how they have no phones and are very poor. I think for some orders it's not God's will that they have a site online. I know several other ones like this too. The Monastic Family of Bethlehem also chooses to not have a website. God sends the vocations in His own way! God bless you, Anne! Pace e Bene!!
Ora et Labora Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 i think that's very true also. i just meant...so i could learn more about them.

It's great being able to learn about the different orders, and particular communities. On this site, there's a picture of a postulant (or novice maybe) : [url="http://www.therockgroup.org/ROCKPICS.HTM"]http://www.therockgroup.org/ROCKPICS.HTM[/url]

That's what I love so much about the Vocation Station. I have found out about so many different communities! And thank you for the link, I will definitely check it out!
angelusdomini Posted May 10, 2007 Author Posted May 10, 2007 Thank you all very much for your kind words and prayers. For me, the fact that they didn't have a website or a very public way to know about them worked in my vocation. Because, although they live relatively close to me (1/2 hr on the hgwy), I always know deep down that I would never have known about them or even met them on my own had it not been for our Lord's providence. There life is sort of a hidden one even though they are not cloistered. Oh, and BTW, I would like you to keep my family (nuclear) in your prayers during this time. God bless you. Anne pax et bonum
