I am actually currently discerning the Carmelites in Lismore Australia, I’m going there in October to meet them. Suddenly though I’m also considering the Passionists, Sister Adorers of the Precious Blood and the Congregation of Our Lady of Mercy (St Faustinas Order- I sent email to)
I suppose I will continue with the Carmelites but just see what God wants. This sudden change to consider orders other than the Carmelites has come from no where I don’t know what it means. Maybe it’s just cold feet I don’t know. I could use prayers if you feel to pray. Thankyou so much and God bless you always through Mary our Holy Mother.

:highprayer: :gopray: :signofcross:
 
Lord there are many confusions and temptations in considering our vocation.
Please guide and strengthen Christine as she discerns her vocation.
Let it be as You desire in her life.
 
Thank you Trishie!! I don’t know if you remember but there was a time when I was asking for prayers to become a Carmelite nun because they weren’t allowing me to even think about joining. After speaking to many people and praying the Rosary see what has happened. Thanks again for your much needed and appreciated prayers !!! God bless you always +++
 
I will pray for you. Please keep me posted and let me know how things turn out! 🙂
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for Christine!
 
Sometimes choices are presented to strengthen your choice and to be sure that the choice you make is one that you have discerned and have been chosen for (John 15:16). I was initially following the Franciscan charism - but found the Passionists was more where I had been called as a lay person.

Caution also as sometimes - choices are there to confuse - be prayerful.

Not sure on your time requirements, but I have always found the 54 day rosary novena especially fruitful. Your intentions for discernment will also be in my prayers.

God bless - May the Passion of Christ be always in our hearts.
 
Lord God, thank You for the wonderful blessings You have showered on Christine85. I humbly ask You to please let her know and understand Your plan for her. May she discern what You want her to do. Give her strength and conviction so that she may not waver from the path You have laid out for her. Grant her clarity of thought and a heart open to Your plans. All these I ask in the name of Jesus, through the intercession of Mary, our mother. Amen.
 
Something providential has happened. I emailed St Faustinas Sisters and the vocation director will be in Australia sept-Oct and said she will try and see me 😃
Interesting
 
Thanks everyone!!🙂 still unsure of my path but it’s lead me to have a blind trust in Jesus after all that’s the message of the Divine Mercy
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
The Vocation Directress replied saying due to my health concerns, she recommends I wait a few years (which I was planning anyway) , this is the Sr from St Faustinas Order.
But she said she will still try meet me when she comes to Melbourne in October 😃 😃 😃
Very very happy indeed!!!

Praying for your health concerns as well…keep us posted!!
 
My discernment has gone back to thinking mainly about the Carmelites… Which happened after praying the Rosary more than once, so I’m not sure will continue to pray the rosary as often as possible
 
Also I’m actually going to meet the Carmelites here flowerofcarmel.com/ end of October. Staying there 7 nights to see if they want me back for a live in next year.
