I entered the religious life but only end only as a Novice.
It seems I never really had any success in what I do. The question people ask when u entered the religious life is ARE YOU CALLED? I believe I am called I feel that God is attracting me to enter this life style of prayer and serving God The Best Way possible. When I see a priest or a nun - I believe they lives a blest life. They are so close to God. Our Mother Directress used to tell us. The reward or merit of a religious - any good She has done will have a Hundred Fold reward in this life and in the Next. If you are a parent will you allow your daughter or son to enter the religious life? As Christian Parents, will you encourage your children to Serve God in this manner?

I think God certainally has a plan for each and every one of us. The plan is written for each individual and therefore will be different however it may be similar. I believe we should all serve God and bring up our children in the way of the Lord so they may also serve him. It will always end up being their choice but guide and love them the way God loves you.

You must not be worried if you didn't get through. It just simply means it is not your calling. Remember becoming a wife and mother is a calling, too, and so is single blessedness.
I will not allow any of my children to be counted with their fold because the Bible never mentioned that a person has to be either a nun or priest to become a child or man of God.
