Really confused needing some help

[magdelaine1173]

I think that if God has placed a desire for religious life in your heart, there’s nothing wrong with thinking about it before you become Catholic. As you said, the reason you’re not Catholic yet is because of your family situation, which is totally understandable. God knows the road upon which He’s leading you, and if He’s placed a desire to be a nun in your heart, there must be a reason for this, even if it’s just to bring you closer to Him. Of course discerning a vocation takes time, but I don’t think it’s wrong to think about it before your conversion… I did too. God bless

I agree, there is nothing wrong with wanting to seek religious vocation before being confirmed into the CC. Many saints had a conversion of heart and mind before they were acknowledged as being a part of the CC’s ministry of people. Don’t worry, God knows your heart better than we do. He knows how much you want to be near Him.
I too have the same sort of situation you speak of. No transportation to and from the church. Making it that much harder to be with the Lord in quiet and harmony. I also have family that are very anti catholic, and see no use of going to a church to pray. I will pray that your VBF can take you to the church or convent that you wish to become a part of…oh wait you said being a missionary, right? Let your best friend know what you need to do. Maybe he can help provide you with transportation? Best of luck to you dear.

God Bless,

Think of this prayer and meditate upon God and Mary for us!
ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE
IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY # 1

(St. Louis De Montfort’s Consecration)

I, (Name), a faithless sinner -
renew and ratify today in thy hands,
O Immaculate Mother,
the vows of my Baptism;
I renounce forever Satan,
his pomps and works;
and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ,
the Incarnate Wisdom,
to carry my cross after Him
all the days of my life,
and to be more faihful to Him
than I have ever been before.

In the presence of all the heavenly court
I choose thee this day,
for my Mother and Mistress.
I deliver and consecrate to thee,
as thy slave, my body and soul,
my goods, both interior and exterior,
and even the value of all my good actions,
past, present and future;
leaving to thee the entire
and full right of disposing of me,
and all that belongs to me, without exception,
according to thy good pleasure,
for the greater glory of God,
in time and in eternity.

Amen.

May God’s Peace, Love, Healing and Mercy be with you and to all!

Do not be discouraged nor allow others to discourage you as you continue to follow the vocation that Our Good God has called you. Part of our daily cross is the difficulties, misunderstanding, rejection that we encounter along the way. What matters the most is the purity of our intentions and wanting only to please Our Good Lord Jesus and following Him wherever He may lead us.

We have to always open our heart to God through prayer so we may always know what His most holy Will is & what vocation He is calling us to. Whatever that vocation may be, He will let you know in due time…in God’s time, then you will be at peace & joy in your heart. Just continue to completely trust in Him and let Him lead you.

God bless!

Praying for you and for all!
