Hello I jsut returned home from Sacred Heart. I am glad to be back home, but I really would like to go back to the seminary.
Has anyone here visited a seminary and missed it? and worried “what if”? What if the diocese turns me down? The response was great . I hope that my diocese accaprs me. The response from the seminary seemed real positive and I met with the rector and he gave me his blessing as well as the other priest I met with. Just hope the diocese does. Would the seminary push for me if they feel I am called?
It was real hard to leave that place this morning it really was. Thanks Scoob.
 
I understand completely. You just have to rely on prayer and faith. The past week or so I began to freak out and imagined that ultimately the Carmelites may reject me, despite all the positive discernment that I’ve had. But at the end of the day, you just have to trust our Lord. You are in my prayers.
 
Hello Thanks so much for your support and understanding. I have some good news, The vocation director emailed me and said all is good just waiting on the Physcological report. And talking to the Doctor he had a positive attitude towards me and all so we’ll see. I am still in the running. God bless Scoob
 
I commend you for your deep faith! I hope you the very best in your new path! And, I do know how you feel. I go to church A LOT, usually when there is not a mass. I enjoy just sitting in the church, feeling such peace. The moment I leave, I want to go back. I guess part of the reason is, that as soon as you leave, the real world hits you like a ton of bricks with all the negativity and noise. Fort me, Church is the only place that I can gather my thoughts and be at peace… except when the cleaning guy comes in and talks on his cell phone…kinda ruins the moment!

Bright Blessings then! Yes, please do keep us posted. Speaking for myself and I’m sure many others on this board, we would like to hear how things are progressing for you.
 
I believe what you’re experiencing is a true call from God. One of the signs of a vocation is that you feel “at home” there. The fact that you miss it is a good sign. I know that after a retreat, I feel depressed. There’s something about living your faith with people that have the same exact interests as me that excites me.
 
Thanks for the replies.

Yes I am aching to go back. I have my beautiful home here in the Ozarks and that all my hobbies are here. I used totravel all over the country working and it was awful then coming back home form the long contract, the excitement was overwelming as you get a 100 miles from the house then 50 then 40 and the last 30 miles seems to be FOREVER, but going home was as depressing as leaving home for some stupid contract. I want to go back to Sacred Heart and I get the what ifs and it is painful what if my physc report comes back and I am not smart enough even though the doctor said I was above average intelligence but was he just saying that to make me feel good and you know, it is a real emotional time.
I hope I am called. I felt something at that seminary that I never felt in my life during Mass. It was awesome!!! is all I can say. You all made me feel good and I need all the prayers I can get. God bless you all Scoob.
