How good it is when sisters are gathered in unity!
+JMJ
Feastday of St. John Bosco (Happy feast to all Salesian Sisters, Brothers and Priests!)
The title of the entry is my paraphrasing from psalm 133. So why this verse? Because yesterday I visited a mission convent of the ASCJ's for Vespers and dinner. It was a really great time and reminded me why I'm entering this great community of sisters.
It was great to pray with the community again; there is just something special about that unity in prayer. I also got to check out the Apostles new prayerbook. It's been worked on in Rome for two years by the Mother General and her council, along with theologians to keep everything in good standing. I admit I was sad they took out some of the prayers I was attached to, but overall it was really good. I really appreciate that the Apostles have a book of prayers specific to their charism of reparation to the Sacred Heart. It's something I haven't really seen in other orders.
So, Vespers was great and afterwords it was on to dinner. The Apostle's legacy with food is notorious! One sister told me she gained 25 lbs. in six months when she entered because of all the rich Italian food! LOL Dinner was hearty and oh so yummy. The Apostle family spirit really comes out around the dinner table, let me tell ya! The sisters telling funny stories and teasing each other, it was just great.
Before I left, I prayed Compline with them and it just left me walking on a cloud. For the closing song, the sisters chose the Salve Regina which has a special place in my heart. The sisters can end Compline with any Marian song, but I love when they do the Salve.
Now that I'm hoping to enter this year, the sisters have encouraged me to visit the local convent more. I always have a good time and leave more in love with the Sacred Heart.

Hi Emily,
I just wanted to say a quick hello. I 'm on a similar journey at a similar place. Reading your blog is a great reminder that I'm not the only one on this wacky path! I feel the same sense of at-home-ness with my community... and the same butterflies but joy in telling people my decision. My blog is at thenunthing.blogspot.com
I hope that you continue to feel the peace and joy you feel with God and your discernment. Peace, Sarah

So I pulled out the old credit card -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-452-with-ValveDock.html]Fatman iTube Dock[/url] and I've got to say I made out like a bandit. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that quality out of my head because it blew me away. I searched online everywhere I could think of for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I phoned them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Shipping was fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they dispatch outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.
Very nice...
