InHisLove726 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) I found my home! I went to the retreat this weekend with the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus in Milwaukee, WI and loved every minute of it. I hated having to return home and when I woke up this morning, I was sad that I wasn't there. Sr. Immaculata, the Superior of the house, offered me an application yesterday on the way to the airport, so I emailed her this morning to ask her to please mail it to me! I firmly believe in the power of prayer. I asked St. Therese for a rose if I was called there. I had forgotten about that prayer until I saw my pictures last night. [img]http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp178/carmeliteheart726/answeredprayer.jpg[/img] Plus, I had goosebumps when the Sisters put on their mantles for Sunday Mass. I almost cried in Adoration several times. I wanted a picture in front of the Blessed Sacrament, and I didn't know whether to take it because two Sisters were there as well. Sr. M. Zachary got up and asked if I wanted a picture! Can you think of a better answer! Each and every one of those Sisters are my family now. I love them very much. Please pray for them! And please pray for me that this application process brings me much peace if it is God's will. God bless you! Edited February 23, 2009 by InHisLove726

water Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 What a blessing weekend for you! I too just got back from a Vocation Retreat where I had chances to talked to Sisters, Brother, Priests, and seminarians. ( I am male discerning to enter seminary for priesthood). I had great opportunity to talk to a Carmelite Brother (who will be ordained soon), he is awesome. I really love the spirituality of this Religious Order. God bless.
