I Wish I Had Had The Strength, And Faith, To Try

[GraceUk]

I agree with what you're saying. but sometimes the pressure on people wanting to enter the religious life from parents can be really difficult. If my parents hadn't been so difficult I would have at least tried. I know it's easy to think of what might have been and you shouldn't dwell on it. that's why it's so important for young folk (or even older people who are free) who think they have a vocation to at least try and not let other people stand in the way. But that's really hard sometimes.

[Saint Therese]

My family has absolutely no sympathy or understanding of my vocation (with the exception of one person). In fact I think they think I'm nuts for wanting to be a nun. But I"m not going to let it stop me. Ya'll can't give up if that's what God wants you to do!
