Here are a few of the questions we already have for today:
- Once I finish my degree, pay off student loan debts, and do some traveling to work in teaching organizations internationally, I’ll be in my early 40s. Is it okay to consider entering religious life then?
- I struggle a lot with understanding God’s love especially when I know my sins and feel like God could never forgive me. Can this be possible?
What questions are on your mind? Jot them down now in the comment box and we’ll do our best to respond! Blessings to you.

Even though I’ve already started with my discernment, is it alright if I linger it until I finish with my studies, I mean, if I don’t sit to think about my decision until I’m finished or is that just too coward?
oops put my question in the wrong box – I think I typed it into last weeks!
Here’s a question I have (but in more detail):
What’s the best way to tell parents/friends etc. about the fact that you’re considering religous life, especially if you’re pretty sure they won’t be too pleased and are afraid they’ll say a) but I want grandchildren b) but you’re not patient/faithful/outgoing (insert quality here) c) well I’m sure you could find a guy, just wait
What do you think?
Thanks, Ann! We’ll add it in!
I’d love to know more about becoming a lay associate? What is a lay associate’s role within a religious community? How does someone pursue becoming a lay associate? Is there a discernment process and if so, what is it like? How does someone choose a specific religious community? What are the requirements for becoming a lay associate? I know, many questions but it is something that I’ve been thinking about. Thanks in advance
Peace & Blessings!
Hi sisters,
Great ask sister podcast. I listened to the recording. I unfortunately won’t be there Saturday night. I don’t have internet at my parents. But I will listen to it on Sunday after I get back to school. Have a great time at the motherhouse. I got some answers from my question. Thanks a lot. Hope to catch you Monday night. God bless you all, Jeannie
