Anselm Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hello, I just joined (five minutes ago!) so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a former Anglican seminarian, now a Catholic and a teacher in the UK, trying to discern a vocation, I hope, to a Benedictine house here. I'd be grateful for your prayers - I'll pray for you too of course! Anselm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hello! It's very nice to get your acquaintance! I have a feeling EmilyAnn will be very excited by you being here. She loves Benedictines as well, and there aren't many here discerning a vocation to Benedictines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLordsSouljah Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I LOVE CONVERTS!! :) Welcome to the Phamily. Hope you enjoy the good times. God bless!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillion Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Bennies! I love Benedictines too, and was very close to being one a long time ago. To love: Simplicity Tradition of hospitality - they really know how to do this! Coversion des Moeurs - conversion of manners. Stability I always feel a very profound sense of peace in the non cluttered chapels and churches of the Benedictines. Can I ask which community in the UK? Oh, and welcome. You have my prayers, another moniale for the UK is what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anselm Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thank you all for the lovely welcome! maximillion; for a couple of years I've been very close to an EBC house in the westcountry (that gives you two to choose from ;) ) but in recent months my discernment has seemed to be leading me towards a more strictly enclosed life, so the Solesmes Congregation is very appealing...

EmilyAnn Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Solesmes Benedictines are the best.... :proud: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
