Are you joining the Third Order for the ancient Carmelites or the Third Order Discalced? (Discalced for me; gotta follow St. John of the Cross  )

Take your time deciding. I am a Franciscan BUT I have a more contemplative spirit (more Carmelite) AND my favorite saint is St. Francis de Sales. His spirituality is : : !

I became a Franciscan because the POVERTY appealed to me.

Honestly that is the only reason I "signed up."

I wish I could go back and redo it.
