Pints with Aquinas
Experiencing the Beautiful Love of God (Mother Natalia) | Ep. 582
"6 months before my life profession, I had an emergency retreat with my spiritual father. I think I'm leaving the monastery. And since making my life profession, which was now 5 years ago, not a single time have I doubted."
Mother Natalia disclosed that she seriously considered leaving her monastery just six months before taking her final vows after 4.5 to 6 years of formation. She told her spiritual father she was prepared to leave and needed him to take her seriously. Since her life profession five years ago, she has experienced no doubts about her vocation, though she acknowledges this is atypical.
