organwerke Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I voted Benedectines, in particular I like very much the Solesmes congregation. But I also like the Missionaries of Charity very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feankie Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Okay, so I'm torn. I chose two---Franciscan and Benedictine. I love the PCPA's (perhaps because I am friends with the nuns and help support 2 monasteries I've come to love their Franciscan spirituality and their devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.

Luigi Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Dominican, specifically Domincan Missionaries for the Deaf Apolstolate. I have a Domincan personality/mindset - pray and share the fruits of prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Franciscans most definitely. They are the most popular Order, and there are about thirty-five thousand of them at the very least in the world. Without them, the world would be in chaos. I want to join the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal so badly, and there are rarely Orders that are half as extreme as them. There are some Monastic Orders such as Trappists which are more extreme, but when it comes down to the regular Orders such as Dominicans, Carmelites, and Franciscans, the Franciscans have a much more extreme lifestyle.

It just seemed to me when I had read the duties and responsibilities, that it wasn't suited to me in my current situation. But at your advice I will look more closely. I feel a tugging on my heart for something like this and it may just be what the Lord is asking of me. Thank you for caring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I am interested and have lots of respect for the Trappist and Carthusian orders also. Visited the Trappists a couple of times - I think I like them because they follow the rule of St Benedict fairly strictly. Don't think I'm called to either though.

HopefulBride Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 there is something about the Dominican way of life that is just...... I think it's the rule they follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It saddens me to know that the Dominicans are winning. However, I'm fine, because there are way more Franciscans than Dominicans anyway, so we win in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
