My Cousin is paying a Visit..

It's her calling, and who are we to defy such calling. Maybe God wants her autistic brother to be taken cared by her mom and younger brother, so they could also be closer to him. Just be happy for her and support her calling. As a phase in the bible says, "many are called but few are chosen."

You are right; this may be God's will. I was taught that being a priest or nun is a vocation. This is something that you pursue if you know and feel that this is what God called you for. It seems that this is what she is going through right now, yet you and your aunt are unsure about it. Why not try to talk things out with her? There must be something that may have pushed her to take the said vocation. Try to see if there's something that's pushing her to do it and let her know that you will try to change/adjust things for her. Also, you need to let her know that her brother needs her right now. Make her feel the need, not make her feel like she's obliged to do it. You see, even if that's the case, you need to understand that it's still her choice to do it or not. Lastly, give her some time off. I'm sure that she is still thinking things over. Do not pressure her, just let her decide for herself what she wants to do.

Do you know why you never see a single nun on the street, but always two nuns together? Its because one Nun doesn't want the other Nun to get Nun.

dear LK, She has her reason for doing and choosing so. But,with what you wrote here...i guess GOD will be much happier if she looks after her brother (i mean..help taking care of her brother) and also help her mother with the younger brother's education. Serving GOD must be serving family too. Anyway...she made up her mind already... have a good day brother and entertain your cousin with smiles

Hi Knight.. It has been known that if a family has reared any of their kids to be a nun, the family will be thoroughly blessed..not by material means but in things unseen by the naked eye. She would then be tasked with more responsibilities aside from nursing souls apart from nursing the disabled whom she doesnt even know or even own. I hope you would look on that angle and not on the family's disappointment. You are right, perhaps God has a reason for it. You should be proud... Just yesterday, i remembered how my choirmate had struggled to find himself. He is the personal assistant of Ryan Cayabyab. He is a genius and had been playing a piano ever since he was 3 years old and accelerated in his academics. He tried to fit himself with girlfriends and more music but still couldnt see his way through. In fact, he had been in and out of the seminarian school. Anyway, everyone expected him to be the next Ryan Cayabyab because maestro was really training him to be a great musician. I dont know how he had discerned the priesthood. He pursued his studies in UAP and then left for Spain under University of Navarra for the priesthood. Just last month, he is now called "Father." Thank you for expressing your sentiments on here. The future is a mystery and till then will we realize and accept.

hello LK, Well maybe she is destined to serve God we never know what will happen next she can still revoke it or pursue it It's just sad that she has an obligation to take care of but if ever it will pass to her mom. happy mylotting

Hi,Letran! Well,if she wants to be a nun not because she wants to run away from the responsibility,then we really shouldn't judge her.I mean,it's her own decision and somehow,no matter you guys like it or not,you should respect it. But if she wants to be a nun out of selfish reasons,it is her bad then.I hope this is not the situation. I feel sorry for her brother.Hope he will be taken good care of.And God bless his family. Have a good night!
