Laurentina1975 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Apostolic Life, bringing Christ forth to others......evangelizing.... I JUST LOVE IT! (Eucharist and Prayer is also very central for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uruviel Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I love apostalic, medititave, prayer, sacrificial, and presentative. All my goals : But I just chose "All of the above" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salveregina Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I did not see the all of the above option at first - I was quite torn between a few of them. Hooray for the all of the above option. And what is wrong with retreating from the world? I'm thinking some great saints (i.e. hermits, anchoresses) would probably have something to say about that...

MC IMaGiNaZUN Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 [quote name='friarMatt' date='Nov 17 2004, 07:12 AM'] As a Francsican that makes my skin crawl, I entered religious life not to run away from the world, but because the world is good, and i found someone better, Christ. in Christ and Mary, fr. Matt [right][snapback]421004[/snapback][/right] [/quote] As an Augustinian that makes my skin crawl to. Although we know the world is a fallen one, it is being renewed, or rather Created Anew in the Easter Resurrection. The whole point of our vocation is to sanctify humanity and the world. I would doubt that many saints have such a pessimistic view of creation. But anyways, yeah i am so drawn to the contemplative life, but know that i have gifts that are suited to the apostolic life. But somehow the sacrificial life gives me the most vitality and inspiration more than the others seemingly. But heck, uniting to the priesthood of Christ requires uniting to the sacrifice of Christ. But i like the way you categorized these things. Gives me a firmer grasp on my own vocation. SHALOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaAvila Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) I chose "All of the Above". and just wanted to comment on the "Medatation-retreating from the world to achieve perfection" for me it's not retreating from the world but it's giving up the world, to daily die to myself to grow closer to our lord and giving up Loves as in family etc for an even greater love, my lord and holy mother church!

brandelynmarie Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Oooooh! I missed all of the above too! But I chose sacrificial life to Christ's love, because I feel in a way that it embraces all...Peace, Brandelyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djc08 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I picked apostolic life....One of the ministries I want to do if i become a priest or w/e i do is help the poor as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOliverOrder88 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I chose all of the above... Yet, I agree with the others that said they couldn't just separate themselves with the world. I love the Franciscan ministry towards the poor, I just loving doing some kind of service... I guess the bulk of what I would want to do is direct service to the poor, with some work in preaching the word of God. Intellectual development also appeals to me and I don't know how that works in. In reality, I have no clue what I want to do, because I also want to work with film...somehow. I am all over the place really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
