He is Risen! Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Hi Everybody! I've just gotten word last week that I have been accepted to the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal. The entrance date is Sept. 7 and it looks like there will be maybe 7 candidates all together. Yipee! Please pray for me, especially for about $800 more that I need for health insurance.
DameAgnes Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 YAY! Congrats! You will be in my prayers, esp re the money. The Lord will see to it; he will complete what he has begun in you.
Luigi Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Go in peace to love and serve the Lord and renew the face of the Earth. I know I'm mixing my prayers - I suppose that's worse than mixing metaphors - but it seems to fit. I'm 'one learn a prayer an' say it for YOU!
VeniteAdoremus Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Congratulations You're beating me by one day!
InHisLove726 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 That's wonderful news!!!!! I am so happy to hear that so many people are entering this year!!!!!! I'll keep you in my prayers that you can obtain the $800 before you enter.
He is Risen! Posted August 9, 2009 Author Posted August 9, 2009 Thank you for all of your prayers! My parish is going to have a yard sale (read: junk exchange) to help me raise money. I love these things, maybe I will even find some of the things on my "to bring" list.
InHisLove726 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 You are definitely going to be surrounded by wonderful and holy women. Sr. Agnes, especially! I talked to her and Sr. Maria Teresa when they were at a 3 night event hosted by the Friars in my hometown, and I felt like I could really open up to them. Both of them gave me great advice. I actually thought I might have a vocation there, but God keeps pressing on me that I have a call to the Carmelites. If I don't enter religious life myself in the next few years, maybe I'll be able to meet you. The Friars and Sisters come down to High Springs, FL every year during Advent. Sr. Maria Teresa came down right after she professed First Vows.
MithLuin Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Congratulations! I'm sure it won't quite sink in that it's real until you get there, but I hope you use this last month of preparation well.
HisChild Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 God reward you for your yes to His invitation of religious life. I will pray for your perseverance.
He is Risen! Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 You're exactly right, it does not quite seem real, dreamlike almost.
the lords sheep Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Congratulations! I'll be entering the day after you, but you'll be in my prayers all the same!!
TradMom Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 +Praised be Jesus Christ! Congratulations and know you prepare for new life accompanied by many prayers and well wishes! Best wishes and much encouragement! Pax, TradMom (and family!!!!)
laetitia crucis Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 CONGRATULATIONS!! I will definitely be praying for you as you prepare for your entrance. Yay Franciscans!
Guest KevinSymonds Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 For that $800, contact Cy Laurent at the Laboure Society (www.labouresociety.org). How much do you still owe?
