The Mystery Community

I’m keeping a low profile on the Mystery Community/Third Order that I’ve been persuing further. I do have some news, in that I’ve successfully gotten in touch with about three different communities of the Order and have had many questions asked to ponder over, a general outline of what I would need to do, and a lot of snail mail coming my way. Two of the communities said that my location is NOT an issue (YAY!).

I still have some things that I want to do before I ask to be accepted as a Novice. I want to read through some more books, pray a lot more about it, talk with Fr. L, and just wait. Technically, I could ask … now; but I want to sit back and wait. There’s a shocker for you, no? There is no real sense of urgency, not like with the Carmelites where I wanted it NOW but rather to sit back and let everything wash over me and envelop me and let me just experience everything. I think that’s a promising sign.

I reckon some people might know or could have interpreted my writing (heh) to figure out at least which Order I’m exploring further. I don’t mind some people knowing, but I want to wait until I’ve asked and been accepted as a Novice before I make my announcement. Provided I even get accepted as a Novice.
