You Know You Are Being Called When...

[Jennifer G.]

...being curious about nuns, you're watching a video on YouTube and a nun talks about asking Mary, so you do that before Mass. During mass, you visualize yourself in a habit, and after Mass, an elderly parishioner (who's part of a parish ministry - altar society) tells you "You look like a nun! You should be a nun!"! And you feel all giddy inside!


...Then you think about wearing your "Carmelite Outfit" (brown slacks and brown jacket) next week.

When you're so poor that you don't give things to the nuns, they give things to you!!

The first time I got a Christmas present from a priest, I wanted to return it and give him his money back.

When you're at a relative's assisted living home (that you've previously though looks like it would make a good nun's convent, and think of the Carmelite Nuns of the Aged and Infirm), you willingly help an elderly lady who grabs your arm and wants you to help her walk (she didn't know where. , and you feel a certain "tug" on your heartstrings.

You long for intimate moments with HIM, and nothing anybody else says or does gets to you. All you can think about is HIM. Your true Bridegroom!

You love colors, and you're at the store with your sister and you look at the scarves on clearance. You only have $20 in your pocket, but hey, they're not so expensive. You pick up three and hem and haw over them for a long time... and finally decide it's OK to buy that one, for sentimental reason, because it's the color of the habit!
