Catholicism http://handmaidofthelord.blogdrive.com/archive/29.html Tue, 11 Apr 2006 05:02:43 GMT +JMJ Praised be Jesus Christ! Greetings to you and your holy angels! Holy Week is upon us again, but not as a thick, suffocating depression, but as hope, because we know that after Good Friday comes the Glorious Resurrection on Easter Sunday! It is also the last ditch effort with our Lenten promises, seeing as Lent ends officially Holy Thursday. It is also a time not to let our guard down either. The Evil One knows what kinds of graces and blessings are waiting for us this Holy Week. He does not want us to grow closer, but widen the gap and increase our inner turmoil. Listen...

I am quite sure of this now. As to when I will be entering with the Poor Clare Colettines, I do not know. All I know is that I am going to get my application done as soon as I can and then if I am accepted, I can set an enterance date then. Lord, Thy Will Be Done! http://handmaidofthelord.blogdrive.com/comments?id=28 http://handmaidofthelord.blogdrive.com/archive/27.html Mon, 12 Dec 2005 04:31:45 GMT +JMJI just wanted to thank the Dominican Contemplative Sisters of Lockport, LA. Especially Sister Mary Imelda. I was just looking back at some of the conversations that Sister Mary Imelda and I had a year ago. I miss talking with Sister and I can remember what it felt like to be IMing a cloistered nun. I just want to hug Sister for helping me so much... I miss her and Mother too! If it weren't for these wonderful Sisters, I would be part of the perpetual discerners club. They have been such a wonderful blessing and it is such a grace that they have helped with my discernment.

Ha ha... well I do have a xanga that is kept rather updated. My user name is StarvnArteest. I also have another blog that I am beginning to keep slightly more updated than this one. That one can be found here. That one is more for the purpose of logging correspondence between Mother Mary Regina and myself. There is a total of 2 letters from her scanned in and nothing from me. That blog went a few months without any activity. Quite a bit has happened since the last time I made an entry here. I made a silent reatreat which affirmed my...

I'm preparing for World Youth Day right now by trying to find everything I need to get my passport. Fun Fun... Wow, there really isn't anything really new for me to talk about I guess, but one thing I'd love to hear from anyone is some feed back about what kinds of events or celebrations that I should suggest for the Catholic Student Association on campus. I know we want to try to have Mass every SUnday rather than just once a Month, Adoration/Benediction at least twice a year, Rosary groups, and Divine Mercy...

Now on the other hand, I can save it so that I can give it up for Jesus when I recieve the habit (where ever I may be...). I really can't decide what it is I should do about my hair. http://handmaidofthelord.blogdrive.com/comments?id=24 http://handmaidofthelord.blogdrive.com/archive/23.html Tue, 10 May 2005 19:51:30 GMT It is another lovely day and it has been so long since I have had a chance to update my blog! I have just one week of classes left and then the dreaded week of finals! Even though I have a million things to do before the end of this week, I feel like I have all the time in the world to do them! Well, since last time I've made an entry we recieved a new Holy Father: Benedict XVI! He seems like a very holy man and I am looking forward to World Youth Day in August! Not only will we go to Germany for the WYD celebrations, but we will also be pilgrimaging in Rome and Assisi and then go to...

You have shown us the beauty of human dignity from beginning to end. You gave us divine wisdom about so many things and directed us towards our heavenly goal, at which you are now to attain at last after your many hyears of hard labor, but all for souls, all for souls! You have given us so much, and now in return, I want to give you someting back for all your precious gifts. I will continue to pray for you, even though you may already be in heaven, you will direct your prayers still in the diresction of those who...

Let us console him through our prayers. http://handmaidofthelord.blogdrive.com/comments?id=21 http://handmaidofthelord.blogdrive.com/archive/20.html Mon, 14 Mar 2005 16:17:05 GMT Considering I left on a not so happy note last time, I guess there was a bit of suspense left over! Well, just an update to let you know that I am feeling very happy right now because I have started to rebuild my spiritual life and things are getting better all the time! I have a picture of a Monsterance right above my bed so Jesus can watch me while I sleep, and I can watch Him as I sleep in His presence within me. Another happy note: I am going to go visit some Poor Clare Colettines this weekend! I am very excited about that and I spent almost all of yesterday working on the...
