TheOliverOrder88 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I ran into a seminarian... who I forget what Order he's in, but that particular order takes a "Vow of wisdom".... Apparently, there are only about 12 priests in this society.... It might not even be an order.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortnun Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I thought an additional men's communities that take four vows and thought I'd add them to our discussion here: [u]Oblates of Mary Immaculate-[/u] [b][url="http://www.omiusa.org/Oblates.com/Vocations4Vows.htm"]Fourth Vow of Perseverance[/url][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my EVERYTHING! Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 If I remember well, (I don't feel like searching for it now) the Fraternites Monastiques de Jerusalem have the normal three as well as Conversion of Life and Stability - but stability is interpreted a different way. The idea is to not leave the monastery a lot, etc. but they can be transfered, say, from Florence to Strasbourg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 [quote name='Margaret Clare' post='1258821' date='Apr 28 2007, 01:59 PM'][b]10. Passionist Nuns also take a 4th of Enclosure & a 5th: "To promote devotion to and grateful remembrance of the Passion and death of Jesus"[/b][/quote] A Passionits told me this: "After Vatican II the Passionist Congregation changed the order of the vows putting the charism vow #1 - A vow to promote devotion to and grateful remembrance of His sacred passion. The other vows kind of flow out of this vow because this is the meaning of our life - HIS LOVE - chastity, poverty, obedience and enclosure."
