I have discerned Miles Jesu is definitly not for me.

I continue to discern:

The Norbertines
Legion of Christ
Crosiers
Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word

Please continue to pray for me.

Thanks

after your experience i would remove them from the list as well. (i think you wrote about it in another post)

Those all sound good.

One note on the legion, one of the priests that i talked to last weekend said that he didn't like them because he thought they were to robotic. While you might not think that at all, it is something to remember and try to stay away from if you discern that you will join them.

Most priests don't like the legion because of their orthodoxy. It seems in today's society we frown upon that.

I will continue to discern....

i think that last comment was a little out of line Eddie...

Eddie, It has nothing to do with orthodoxy. I love orthodox priests more than you can imagine, but Jezic has a good point. There are good priests in the legion, but the recruiting emphasis is so high it leaves me a little shaky. If it's for you, then it's for you. It's a legitimate, orthodox vocation. I do think there are religious orders with a little more compassion, and you are looking into orders like that (the Norbertines and the MFVA's)
