Blessings to you all!
I have recently found myself attracted to a consecrated woman. I believe this person has not made final vows and I’m single.
I honestly want what is God’s will, what is right in her life and the best for both of us.
To be perfectly honest I would like to date this person and tell them but obviously that would be completely inappropriate.
I’m not sure how to manage this and my emotions practically outside of prayer. I realise I should find a good spiritual director and discuss with a counselor.
Do I limit contact? One post from a nun on a blog faced the situation years ago and was told to embrace the relationship and not avoid it. I feel like I’m running away but going crazy.
I suspect she may feel the same way or at least knows.
Outside of this, and in the meantime does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I’m sure someone out there has experienced and moved past this before?
