I am 13 and I got a 30. Since September 2012 I have though about and felt called to the religious life. I have heard many times,"I think your going to be a nun when you get older." In your article you stated that parents would be proud to have a nun in the family, I disagree though. Parents say things like,"Being cloistered is a waste of life!","Why, you don't have to be a nun to be holy?"Ever since I have felt called to the religious life I have been happier. Truly this is what I think God is calling me to. Then sometimes parents say,"You have to go live life." But honestly I think I am. I don't think getting drunk, stealing things and doing bad things is life, I view it as disrespect to life!Erikanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9531808.post-51143697806645899762013-01-14T23:48:51.071-06:002013-01-14T23:48:51.071-06:00Remember that we must not get too caught up in our...Remember that we must not get too caught up in our luck in quizzes! Although I think this is a great way to get a taste of what one might be meant to do, remember, the best way to know is not to take an Internet quiz but to talk to the big guy himself! ;) He wants what is best for you so he will for sure tell you what your vocation is! In the meantime, just be open to Jesus and he will tell you at the right moment! I know from experience that the more I pray about things, the more God will make things clear in my life! I am praying for all of you who are decerning a vocation! God Bless!

Thanks so much for your no...Dear anonymous friend,<br /><br />Thanks so much for your note. I truly appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment on this five year old post from early in my journey.<br /><br />I am also glad that you are able to find strength and inspiration in the words of other writers at this time. Each of us must walk our own path and share in this public sphere as we feel called.<br /><br />At this time, I am choosing not to write publicly about my own struggles with the institution. For me right now at this time, it makes more sense to keep that in conversations with those near to me, in my journal, and in prayer.<br /><br />That said, I have felt a renewed call, however, to daily (or almost daily) writing on the blog. I am trying to share some of my ministry, my experience in community, my positive experience of the Church in terms of all of us, the body of Christ.<br /><br />Blessings of Peace,<br />Susan Rose, CSJPSusan Rose Francois, CSJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801188192396918147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9531808.post-27553584746265501702012-05-16T22:15:54.297-05:002012-05-16T22:15:54.297-05:00I keep looking at this site hoping for some of the...I keep looking at this site hoping for some of the real issues facing dedicated and faith-filled women struggling with our alienated role in the Catholic Church. With misogyny raging this is disappointing. Check out Joan Chittister and Jamie Manson's articles in this weeks NCR... two faith-filled women truly leading the way and respectful of all who journey in faith not just the "nuns."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9531808.post-36343648561147994802012-03-19T08:29:32.408-05:002012-03-19T08:29:32.408-05:00Blessings on your journeyBlessings on your journeySusan Rose Francois, CSJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801188192396918147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9531808.post-68938975811790157902012-03-18T23:27:49.585-05:002012-03-18T23:27:49.585-05:00I scored a 28 and I am engaged to be married--am I...I scored a 28 and I am engaged to be married--am I in the right place?
