Prayer for Postulants

 Infant Jesus of Prague,

Listen to what I'm asking:

Give us from all sides,

Solid postulants,

From which good novices grow,

That makes our Carmel bloom.  

(Prayer from Carmel DCJ on Instagram)

When God closes a door...

 Somewhere He opens a window.

Hello, dear sisters in Christ.  I know it's been so long since I've written here but 2020 was a year full of ups and downs in my discernment.  It's a long story I hope to tell you here very soon, but for now, God has closed the door on my religious vocation discernment.  I really wanted to be able to say yes to becoming a religious, but God had other plans.  I could not maintain peace in my soul about entering the convent and I took that as a sign that it was not meant to be.  Now I'm discerning the vocation of marriage and starting a new blogging journey over at In Cordibus Jesu et Mariae.  I hope you've found the information and reflections on this blog helpful.  I will leave it up on the internet just in case another young girl like myself is searching for help, camaraderie, and resources for vocation discernment.  I'm so happy to be following Our Lord and discovering His unique path to Heaven for me.  I pray you discover and follow His most holy and perfect Will for your life too.  Please drop by my new blog sometime and say hello! 

In cordibus Jesu et Mariae,

Sarah
