Since February this year, I have been discerning with a religious order that my pastor introduced me to. He knows them very well as they are from his native country and also have a convent where he went to seminary. He started at our parish in July 2010 and I discussed my discernment with him in March 2011. The Sisters paid a 3rd visit to our parish in February 2012 to speak for the World Day for Consecrated Life. I spoke to them on February 12th. The following Tuesday, February 14th, I went to Confession in preparation for the CRHP weekend in March and told my pastor, before leaving the Confessional, that I wanted to know more about these Sisters. They made a private visit again on February 21st and I just happened to be in the parking lot with my mom at the Church when Father walked down the path with 2 Sisters. He saw me and introduced me to the Provincial Superior. I spoke to her and I knew that God had placed me in that spot at that very moment for a reason.
I have since been discerning with them as an aspirant and was told, that in order to continue the application process, I needed to get a psychological evaluation. I’ve been waiting since February 2012 for my pastor to set up the appointment but he just recently called the psychologist in charge of testing for the diocese. We still haven’t heard anything because the psychologist appears to be on vacation. My pastor told me this past Sunday that he would call again if he didn’t get a call back by Monday, July 9th.
Please pray that I hear something soon. The waiting is agony, but I know that God cannot be rushed! Mama Mary, please pray for my intention!
*O my God, I thank you and I praise
you for accomplishing your holy
and all-lovable will without any regard for mine.
With my whole heart,
in spite of my heart,
do I receive this cross I feared so much!
It is the cross of Your choice,
the cross of Your love.
I venerate it;
nor for anything in the world
would I wish that it had not come,
since You willed it.
I keep it with gratitude and with joy,
as I do everything that comes from Your hand;
and I shall strive to carry it without letting it drag,
with all the respect
and all the affection which Your works deserve.
Amen.*
