Oblates And Tertiaries

I'm not quite certain how to categorize these in terms of vocation. While it seems obvious that it isn't a "primary" calling insofar as one is a layperson or a priest first before one is a member of a group of oblates or tertiaries, it also seems clear that one must exercise a certain amount of discernment before committing to living out a particular spirituality, such as the Rule of St. Benedict or Franciscan spirituality. Also, I would imagine that becoming an oblate or tertiary whilst discerning religious life with a community would simply interfere with the process (or am I mistaken on that point?) and thus it has certain elements of "vocation". Were I ultimatel…

I know this topic has been discussed in the past, but I have been unable to locate the thread. So here goes...I will be visiting two monasteries in the next few months for discernment visits. I would like to take something to the communities as a thank you. I will be flying to both locations so the gift can't be too large or heavy. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you and God bless -

I got a call last night from one of the Carmels I contacted way back in April! :woot: To say that I am shocked and amazed is a gross understatement. I had really given up hope. It was too late to return the call last night (different time zones), but I will this evening. Please pray for me! Thank you Lord!!! :nun2: OK I just learned that if you press the spacebar next to the little dancing nun you can make her dance all the way across the page..... :child: How do you say "Hooray!!!" in Latin? Hooremus? :lol:

Posting the link to this article because: 1. It's a really good article about vocational discernment -- and not being a "perpetual discerner" 2. Has the same name as the board, so I figured it belonged here. 3. Dominicans rock.* http://www.dominicanajournal.org/vocation-station/ enjoy! *not intended in any way, shape, or form as a slight on other orders.

Yay! I'm Finally Here!
by IgnatiusofLoyola- 11 replies

It took me a lot more than 10 posts to finally be allowed to post in Vocation Station. I'm wondering whether perhaps the posts I made on the "Lame" Board didn't count toward the 10. (They WERE lame.) I live across the street from a convent of 50 retired religious sisters. Now I have to figure out the technology so I can post a picture of "my" sisters. I know many of you will disapprove, because "my sisters" wear a modified habit, instead of the full habit. But, they all wear identical clothes (black skirt--slightly below knee length, white blouse, black jacket or sweater, black stockings and shoes). In the summer they sometimes substitute the black skirt and jacket/…
