Guest hermanita Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 too many books for a Martha type like me.
Feankie Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 There's no such thing as too many books!!! You can still be a "Martha" and a well-read "Martha" at that. I don't think Jesus would have stopped Martha from reading if she wished to do so. You can still be a worker-bee and have time left for some serious reading. Just do it in spurts, maybe 15-20 minutes at a time. You'd be surprised how quickly you can finish a book if you set your mind to it. Tack on that 15 or so minutes to your quiet time and you'll find out how lovely it can be.

I do spiritual reading; just prefer liturgical and quiet prayer. Edited December 21, 2011 by hermanita

DameAgnes Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 That's actually the class from last year -- most of them were clothed in the habit this autumn.

TheresaThoma Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 I believe that is actually a picture from last years class early in their postulancy. I know a couple of the girls and one of them discerned a couple months after entering that she wasn't called there and she is in that picture. I do love the DSMME group photos though!
Lisa Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah, it is last year's picture. They are now in beautiful white and have new names! It's the nun picture thread- they don't have to be current, do they???
