šŸ‘‹ On Saturday, July 18th I arrived in South Texas from a month live in with the Felician Franciscans in New Mexico. I had so much fun with the sisters!!! They were all so warm and inviting.ā¤ļø They were praying that I would have a pleasant experience. I felt at home in no time. Driving to the motherhouse, I felt anxious, sadness, darkness. All this went away that same evening. While there, I was present for 3 jubilee celebrations and a retreat. The retreat master was a Franciscan priest from Franciscan University of Steubenville. After that week in retreat, I was sent to live a house in Albuquerque for a week with 3 sisters that ministered around the area. I went with one to parish where Sr. Edna works. It was a small, poor parish in the middle of a poor neighborhood. There I got to do a little parish work. But the best part is that I got to meet many homeless people because the church has a lunch program. Close to 300 lunches are given out every day to the homeless. I thought that was the most amazing thing to see. The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal are familiar to the parish there and I even got to meet them at their Bible Camp šŸ˜ƒ Later, Sr. Edna took me to ā€œOld Townā€ where by coincidence I got to attend a Mass celebrated by the Friars at San Felipe :bounce: After a week, I went back to the Motherhouse, and for the next week and a half, I was put to work at the food pantry. It was hard work and a little chaotic but I survived. It was amazing to see all the families that are helped by that one small pantry. I surely will miss the sisters especially the cute elderly ones :love: I will be accepted as postulant on August 16th. I will be flying to Chicago on the 20th and then we will be driven first to Polonia and then to Pittsburgh (šŸ˜› long trip I know). There are two other postulants entering with me: a 21 year old, me 26, and 30 year old. I am excited because it is a young group. Please keep us in your prayers and we will make sure to pray for you all also

:highprayer:
 
Fabulous!!! I am so excited for you as you sound like you had an excellent time there. I will be praying for your upcoming entrance! Thatā€™s a short time to wait! Only a little more than 3 weeks. šŸ™‚
 
Wonderful news! I hope this is the beginning of something beautiful, for God and for you!
 
Thatā€™s WONDERFUL news šŸ˜ƒ I will hold you in my prayers and thoughts.
 
I am praying for youā€¦God bless you on your vocationā€¦Jesus, help this wonderful person during her path in her life to serve youā€¦we love you Jesusā€¦Amen
 
Congratulations!!! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and ask that you do the same for me.

Iā€™m ecstatically excited for you! :extrahappy:

Hopefully iā€™ll be on the same track too! Iā€™m waiting on the Regional Sister of the Missionaries of Charity to give me the go on the ā€œcome and seeā€ as they call it. Itā€™s not quite as long as yours. The MC ā€œcome and seeā€ lasts only two weeks, but i canā€™t wait!

God bless you and i love you!

Let us keep the Pope, the cardinals, bishops, priests, deacons, nuns, and sisters in all our prayers! And especially those who are discerning!

:amen:

Thank you so much and good luck to you. The Missionaries of Charity are definitely a very special community. You must be very special yourself to be called to them and their extreme poverty. Let us know how the visit goes and please pray for me as I pray for you šŸ˜ƒ

God Bless
