Thank you so very much, more than I can say.
I’ve submitted my petition. I go before council on 10/24 for an interview.
Mind you, one of the friars said, “Oh, don’t worry. We Dominicans will take ANYbody!” (Sometimes I think for the Lay Dominicans that may be true! If they take me, well then!)
It will have been 4.5 years. 6 months as an enquirer, 1 year as “received” (novice),3 years as temporary promised, and now usque ad mortem, D.V. Sometime around 1/28, Thomas Aquinas Day.
God’s Will, of course, but my prayers will be daily with you. I have a deep affection for the Dominicans, they have given so much to us all, for the love of God.
