Nathan Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I'm very interested in the Carthusians; I've been dreaming of a visit to the Charterhouse of the Transfiguration in Vermont for over a year. I'm going to seriously pursue it in three years, when I am eligible (I was just confirmed into the Church last month). Whether I am called to such a rare and beautiful vocation, God only knows at this point -- but I do feel drawn to it. An excellent book on Carthusian life and spirituality is [i]Halfway to Heaven: The Hidden Life of the Sublime Carthusians[/i] by Robin Bruce Lockhart.

[/quote] God bless you, especially if the Carthusian vocation is yours! I'll add a book recommendation: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0006278736/qid=1147539376/sr=8-3/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i3_xgl/026-0283222-8818028"]Hear Our Silence[/url]. I read it whilst a teenager and it hugely strengthened my faith and vocation, so much so that I wrote to Parkminster thanking them for allowing the author to share in their life for a little while so that he could write the book. They sent me a brief note on a postcard assuring me of their prayers for my vocation. Parkminster (the Charterhouse in England) has a website [url="http://www.parkminster.org.uk/"]here[/url]. Love and prayers, PP Edited May 13, 2006 by puellapaschalis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
