Almost a Nun, Part 3: Sister Mary Nikki?!
In the last couple of years, attending daily Mass hasn’t just become the most important part of my day, it is THE REASON for my day. And it’s in the morning every day but Saturday. Today it’s at 4:30 pm. But today is also my first meeting at the convent. It’s at 1 pm. 21 miles away from my church. They aren’t celebrating Mass at the convent. I asked lol. That’s how ate up I am haha.
I’m trying to figure out how I can get back from my first discernment meeting for becoming a Third Order Franciscan in time to make Mass. I could have, and still could, attend the meeting virtually… but I can feel the Holy Spirit pressing me to actually go in person, and I don’t even like driving. Beach traffic on the weekends is no punk.
But I gotta get my Franciscan hugs haha. I want to see the grounds again. I visited in 2023. I want to enjoy the meeting… but my heart and mind and soul, my whole self is always posted up at the altar, singing Holy Holy Holy waiting to receive Him in the Eucharist. I’ll take pics of the convent if I can, and share when I get back! My spiritual ego told me to put on a lighter-colored dress (you know, for first impressions lol), but I’m going to attend in my present uniform. Black (shirt) on Black (pants) on Black (me) lol.
I love you!
