    I feel these things. And have at various times throughout my life. The first time I remember telling my mom I wanted to be a nun, I was 9 or 10.

    There should be more videos like this on social media. I believe that there are ladies out there that were called in there hearts but doesn't realize it yet....
  • Monastic life is something I find appealing for years but never thought about seriously. Then came 2022 and my first retreat in an abbey and... nothing feels more like home to me than such a place. But, I have a family to take care of, so I can't. So I decided to give a shot at joining the Secular Discalded Camelites because I really really really feel drawn to the Carmel nonetheless. Just thinking about it brings a stupid smile on my face and I love the little Therese so much, she brought so much wonders to me. Please pray for me.

    I met Erin May five year’s ago we’ve not even dated and I haven’t seen her in nearly two year’s yet I persevere in believing it’s God’s will that she is my future wife through grace and it’s very hard and painful to persevere with this belief. Please pray for Erin May and me. The way she came into my life was I believe truly miraculous though at that time I was very much interested in another beautiful lady and not Erin May at the time.

    5/5... but for the first time in years that I watch a video like this, I'm not looking for some kind of confirmation, I just know now. Still no real clue on where and when exactly it's going to happen though, I even lost my spiritual father and can't find a new one. I'm really worried I might let the world seduce me again though while I'm waiting to find out. It's all in His hands, please remember me in your prayers ❤

    Satan will attack but always praise Jesus and Mary! Be totally honest with Jesus because he already knows. Say to Jesus and Mary,I want to get married please find me a spouse. Again be totally honest with Our Lord and Our Lady! It took me a long time to tell Jesus and Mary that I was going to stop saying/praying the beautiful holy Rosary and the reason why! Ask your guardian angel to help you. Tell Jesus and Mary you want to do God’s will but still be honest with yourself and Jesus. God bless. Buy book’s on discernment by Fr Timothy Gallagher.

    Too old and too many barriers...To encourage many who may feel similarly, there are lay religious groups who gather together, or a prayer confraternity that may be a positive alternative. There is a recent Hungarian Saint who dedicated her life to church ministry, after being rejected by orders. She didn't give up, and gave her life in lay ministry, and helped to form new groups. She persevered to serve.
  • If one explains the Crucificition properly, and I really mean properly, they'll have to start with the Last Supper. And then if one is to speak the truth, they will understand what Judah actually did and what the stakes were. That's why the Bible is, in fact, a hermeneutically coded text (mystery.)
