lifeof every Sister,the one shehas been awaiting with somuch eagerness,for herwhole Religious Life —theday of her Final Vows.  \nCc Zh  \nand  the  \nC  \nCCWm  \n\"But this was different.More real and solemn and awesome and ealm and clear anddeliberate.This was the final step,the eompletion.\"  \n# 1Retreat\n\nThe day dawned for me,after eight daysof retreat—a real look with St.Ignatiusat the whys and wherefores of living,  \neight days of praying,reading my retreatnotes,imeditating,of looking things overand being very sure....Then...  \ncane the Feast of the Visitation.July 2nd.I had stood there in the big fieldstone houscat Marycrest waiting for the great bellwhich signaled the procession into Chapel,  \n“I'he Postulants were received ....”  \nsix times before.I had been more excitedwhen,as a Postulant,I had received the  \nHoly Habit.I had been more exhilarated when,as a Novice,I had made my First Profession.But this was different.More real and solemnand awesome,and calm and clear and deliberate.This was the final step,the completion.The bell rang out with the suddenness it alwayshas,no matter how long you have been waitingfor it,and the singing rose through the stillmountain air,as the procession went into the Chapel.  \n5  \nThe Postulan's were received,and even the thrillof hearing their new names,and watching the glowon their happy faces did not impress me as muchas usual.I was counting the momeuts....  \n# PARISH VISITOR\n\nThen there was a Profession of First Vows,  \nand I listened to the brave young voice,rememberingthe day when,surrounded by candles and blossoms,snowy linens and sunlight,I had pronounced myFirst Vows.(They had been final,even then,as far as I was concerned.)\"For the honor  \nof Almighty God and under the protection of theBlessed Virgin Mary,and that of our holy Patron,Saint Joseph,I...make for one year the simple vowsof Poverty,Chastity,and Obedience....And I promisewith God’s grace,to observe them faithfully.”  \n7  \nPARISH VISITOR  \nAnd then it was my turn.\"See then and examine,for the last time before you make your vows,whether you will have the courage to accomplishthem....”I--have the courage to accomplishthem?Not I—but He—He would give thecourage as it was needed.Of that,I was sure.  \n“Yes,Reverend Father,I have a firm confidencethat He who has inspired me with my vocationwill give me grace to remain faithful to it.\"Of course.God is consistent.He does not call us,like the gods of mythology,to danger and destruction.Didn't He say,\"I have come that they may have life andmay have it more abundantly”?Then He would give usthat life,that abundant life of His grace.  \n\"I","cbCaijEdVvzkeRnA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijEdVvzkeRnA","pdf",1977323,36,"English","# THE PARISH VISITOR\n##
