Saint Therese Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm having this wierd experience where I feel closer to my monastic family than my real family, now that I'm back. Anone else had that experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DameAgnes Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Therese, how about an update on the community - how large is it now, how many professed, how many novices and postulants? Do you feel like the sense of being "closer to the monastic family" than your real one is a "positive" or a "negative" to your discernment?

Saint Therese Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) Its definitly a positive thing. If I were discerning and didn't feel that way I'd be concerned. A monastic family is a REAL family. Some interesting things I learned from my time there: 1- Nuns are [i]cool[/i]! 2- Monastic culture is totally different from our culture 3-Qua (don't ask-you had to be there) I don't mean to be rude but if anyone has any more detailed questions concerning specific members of the community, etc, they should contact the community themselves, as I am not a spokeperson for the community.
