I have decided, to follow Jesus...
As the old song goes, I have made my decision, and today I have knelt before our Minister General, and agreed that it is my freely given desire to enter the Postulancy of the Brotherhood of St. Gregory. They have accepted me and vested me with the Brotherhood Postulancy Cross.
As Br. Richard Thomas came to me with the Cross, he held it up for me to kiss, then placed the Cross around my neck. That was a powerful moment. Seeing that wooden Cross go around MY neck....
The symbolism has not been lost on me, and with all that has happened this week, now I am looking forward to learning new ways to pick up the Cross of discipleship that Jesus tells us about in Luke 14. to follow Him, and do so with these Gregorian Brothers.
Terry,
Congratulations and may God bless you as you seek to serve Him!

Congratulations Terry. You've been praying about this for a long time. Like Kirsten, I wish I could have been there to have experienced that moment.
Any photos of the event? :)
Blessings!
