Any of you Catholics, during your younger days or even now,
thought of becoming a Priest, Monks or Nuns (or any Protestants
ever wanted to become Pastors and Reverend)?
When I was schooling, I ever thought very seriously about becoming
a nun, but couldn't quite decide which order to join. I thought of
Camelite, cuz I was inspired by The Sound of Music. I also liked
Good Shepherd cuz I saw the works that they do at hospitals,
Marymount and their convent in Katong. When I helped out in Little
Sisters for the Poor, I was impressed by them.
Every day, I attended Mass, just to be close to the Lord. When I
saw the Priest celebrating Mass, I was so envious cuz the Church
wouldn't accept female priests.
I ding dong here and there, comtemplating.... Before I know... I
started to meet guys, involved in relationship, received marriage
proposals, started working & moved up corporate ladder etc
etc... that I totally stopped thinking about religious life
anymore, cuz I am too comfortable in the secular life now. I just
hope that I dun get too distracted by the worldly stuff and distant
myself from the Lord.
