Totus tuus Maria! Let’s see what the good God wills.
Will pray for you! My neph’s marching band is opening the one here in our area tonight. Light a candle for me!
I won’t be around either tonight. Have a great weekend everyone.
Thanks so much for the Podcast Sister! So grateful for all the advice!
Had a fabulous weekend on pilgrimage to Knock. We climbed Croagh Patrick on Saturday and had a great time! Everyone made it safe to the top. But on girl fell on the way down and broke her leg! (Prayers fro her) Then we had a lovely evening at the cinema. Funny…. I was on a “date” with a seminarian! lol… We were the only ones who wanted to see Robin Hood! haha… We were up early in the morning and headed to Knock to the Shrine of Our Lady. We had a Meditation in the Knock visitor center and a video presentation of the story of Knock. Then we celebrated mass with the rest of the Diocese in the Basilica. There was over 3000 people there just from our Diocese alone. I was asked to take part in the Mass read one of the Prayers of the Faithful.
Had a wonderful weekend and got a mass offered up for all the A Nun’s Life Community on their journey’s with Christ with the intersession of Our Lady of Knock.
In Christ,
Clare
Stumbled across this site and needed to ask a question.
My daughter has been showing interest into a Religious way of life for some time now. She has a great Faith and always is going on religious youth weekends with friends. She is throughly touched by God. She is only 20 years old and suffers from a mental illness (depression). I feel she is making a very bad journey at the minute. She has spoken to me about it and I told her that I wasn’t going to support her until she finally makes her choice. I don’t want to influence her at all. I know her father is totally agents the idea and we have been married for 25 years and I know him well enough to know that he wont come to for around 25 more years. She is living away from home for college but never goes to parties and all her friends have Fr., Sr. or Br. before their names. I am really afraid for her that she is making a bad choice. In our brief talk about it in between crying she told me that she will finish college and then join but she will look into different orders during her college years. I am really not in agreement with this but if she needs to take the journey she may. But what do I do or say to help her? How do I talk to her about it without a fight or tears? Who do I talk to? What if she thinks it is a good idea? What can I do to help my husband understand? Does she go to a special college? Can she see us some of the time? How do I change her mind on this?
Hi Confused Mother. Thank you for sharing. We will talk about this a bit on our podcast tonight.
Hi Sisters. I was not able to listen to the podcast -live ,so listened to it later. You were very reassuring to Confused Mother. Your advice to get someone to talk to was very helpful.l found being able to talk on your community blog was vey helpful to me as I was able to say my true feelings.I would reccommend Confused mother try your community blog. People in our small town thought we should be thrilled our daughter was going to a cloister thousands of miles away. I also found talking to our parish priest-who listened but did not judge me with my apprehension.Praying the Our Father was very helpful also.
