When I was younger I wanted to be a nun, but since I was raised in a non Christian environment things were a bit complicated. Now I know God had another plan for me. I truly admire all Sisters. I have a very dear friend here who's a nun and I know what a hard work it is. Since our congregation of Catholics here in Morocco is very small we all have a special bond. Please keep us in your prayers, because being Catholic in a Muslim country can be tough sometimes. I guess it's like being a nun in the US, just without the clomp, clomp, clomp.Mayogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041345262512759281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-23314356370830028352007-09-05T18:52:00.000-07:002007-09-05T18:52:00.000-07:00There are plenty of good reasons to be nuns.

RC or Protestant. <BR/><BR/>But try and have some patience sister. It is a life of mystery for many people. I too work in afield that really is a mystery for all those who are not directly involved. And yes, its a 24 hour a day kind of life, not a 'job,' perse. <BR/><BR/>People just don't understand because they just don't know anything about it. Explaining might be difficult, but try. Maybe you'll inspire someone to do the same!<BR/><BR/>BY the way, why would all be glad to be living with Jesus? He's cool and all, but what about God himself?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360354228497666448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-43348876735606554172007-09-05T12:23:00.000-07:002007-09-05T12:23:00.000-07:00Great post Sister thank you.

Why do you suppose ...Dear Sister,<BR/><BR/>Great post today! Why do you suppose people react that way to nuns or sisters? I don't understand it. When I was a child in Catholic school during the sixties, I loved our nuns. I used to wish I could hang out with them in the convent. I still wish I had been called to be a nun but, even though I have the poverty and the chastity down pretty well, I'm still working CONSTANTLY on the obedience. Do you know of any orders that accept fifty year olds?<BR/><BR/>Here's a dumb question for you. How do you feel about the gifts you receive from your students? My mother always insisted we give our teaching nuns pretty handkerchiefs with embroidery or nice smelling soaps or good stationery or good chocolates because, she said, nuns didn't have the opportunity to buy nice things for themselves. Is that true? I was afraid the teacher would be insulted to receive soap. It seemed like I might be saying she needed to take a bath or something. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and about the shoes, we had an art teacher who wore black high top Chuck Converse sneakers with her habit! She couldn't clomp. She was my very favorite nun! She carried around a little clown made out of circles of colorful fabrics that made up the arms, legs and trunk. I used to think of her as "the renegade nun." She once won a cake for me at the May Fair cake walk!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-67212646436252812952007-09-04T17:51:00.000-07:002007-09-04T17:51:00.000-07:00You have a very good (and funny) point, Sister, bu...You have a very good (and funny) point, Sister, but I don't think we're going to be dusting pews in Heaven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-71011590989060008522007-09-04T14:23:00.000-07:002007-09-04T14:23:00.000-07:00You are so funny Sister!!!You are so funny Sister!!!EC Gefrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821950576683551325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-54164313641264606582007-09-04T09:36:00.000-07:002007-09-04T09:36:00.000-07:00i just love your sense of humor sister! very refre...i just love your sense of humor sister! very refreshing!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550875376593955659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-21032203682352313632007-09-04T08:07:00.000-07:002007-09-04T08:07:00.000-07:00I just read "Ninety Minutes in Heaven".
