I was touched on this day by a combination of the Mass readings, homily, personal discussions, and confession. I was reminded of the undying and everlasting love of the Heavenly Father and how He is always with us.

Why would you bring me all the way out here, just to bring me to a dead end? What do you want me to do, just turn around and go back to the city? Just a waste of all this money on gas! Why would you let this happen to me?

There was a part of me that genuinely could not find anything to be grateful for, and there was another part of me that knew that I was wrong.

My novice mistress was a radiant, joyful sister who lived from the fountain of a continual awareness that everything she had and was a gift from her Heavenly Bridegroom, and she diligently formed us, her novitiate charges, in this same outlook on life.

For me even when a “singleness” vocation is mentioned it strikes the wrong chord because of how the secular world typically sees what it means to be single

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

I begged Jesus to come and make up for my frailty with His love and His peace – to give me the grace of perseverance in the #vocation He called me to. And instead He waited. He waited as Lazarus died. He waited as I left the #convent...

After returning from the #convent, I was extremely distraught and in a great deal of misery. Fortunately, as time has gone on, this has slackened. But on occasion, I am still confronted with a dull pang of sadness or some other emotion.

There are so many ways Jesus desires to make me whole again, and this redemption is at work even now. #Healing sometimes isn’t easy.
