The March/April 2008 edition of the Salesian Sisters’ Magazine, DMA, has an article on page 35 about YouTube, with an article opposite about the simulation game “Second Life”. I was really surprised to find that, but the Sisters keep surprising me!
So in honor of that, here is a link to my YouTube page, where I have tried to compile some Salesian videos.

You don’t sound very excited about entering. In fact, quite the contrary, esp. when it comes to having room to live among the novices and postulants. Can’t imagine why the Salesian Sisters all of a sudden have to make room for new postulants or novices. No pre-planning? Suppose there were 30 postulants coming in instead of the measley 3-4?
You also fail to state why you’ve chosen to run away and hide behind the four walls of a convent, which will require you, sooner or later, to embrace 3 vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience — if you’re crazy enough to stick with the Order. There are thousands of secular organizations dedicated to the working of female youths. Amazing that you don’t at least try one of these out first before wasting your life away in a convent If the Order only has 3-4 postulants coming into it, doesn’t this say something?

It’s not wasting your life to spend it in a convent.It can be the most rewarding experience if it’s what your meant to do with your life.Those vows of poverty,chastity,and obedience help the individuals in that community and those people they serve more than you know.They help nuns to live the life they have chosen.Please understand that each of us has a different mission and destiny.We may not always understand each others paths but those who have chosen religious life need to be supported and prayed for.
