Wow! They really do seem like the real deal! I love the simplicity and poverty of their life- even to the point of simple sandals made by the brother cobbler.

I absolutely love everything about this order... :twothumbsup:

Definitely on my list: Vocation -> Monasticism -> Carmelite Monks of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

I read somewhere here on the forum that they aren't OCD (which I knew 'cause they're M. Carm) but I didn't understand the reason why.

So... Why aren't they OCD?

:wacko: ... Sorry, I don't understand. Or maybe I do. :sweat: They (OCD) "reject" the Carmelite life "created" by Sts. Teresa and John?
