There should be a monk emoticon. Something like this one :nun2: One that looks like Thomas Aquinas would be good.

But, that wouldn't be a Monk, Saint Thomas Aquinas was a Dominican Friar. There are differences of massive proportions between a Monk and a Friar.

We can pretend...

or we could get a Franciscan Minor and a Carthusian Monk. :pope2:

I'm not much on Carthusians. The Franciscan Friars are amesome, though. When it comes to Monastic Orders, I am partial to the Benedictines. I'm discerning with the Benedictine Monks at Clear Creek at the moment.

Who aren't you discerning with? :hehe:

I'm not discerning marriage with a spouse, I'm not discerning with the Nuns or Sisters, I'm not discerning the Carthusians, I am pretty much no longer discerning with the Benedictines now, I am no longer discerning with the Capuchin Franciscans, etc.

I don't think I ever did this. (And I've been here over a year and half!)

I am discerning the Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Church (Religious Community)
I have been discerning with them since July 2009
I have been discerning Religious Life for about 4 years
The final push for me was the fact that I literally wanted to live in the Church and would enviously look at those who lived across the street from the Blessed Sacrament. That coupled with the fact that I got mad that there were no 2nd or 1st order for married people made me realize that my deepest desire was Religious Life.
