laetitia crucis Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Let's think of a random topic....

laetitia crucis Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm thinking either the Poor Clares of the Immaculate, or the Carmelites. Perhaps vee8's Carmelites if they [i]chant [/i]all the hours. I'd definitely want to see and experience what a cloistered contemplative life is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] They chant all the hours except on Wednesdays and Saturdays when they do the little office then spend the rest of the day crying in their cells Sometimes they make other people cry too like when they sing the Te Deum, in Latin, during vespers. It's at times like that that the person is glad there's a grille and a curtain separating the chapel and the choir. edited to fix emoticon Edited June 16, 2010 by vee8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hhmm. One of my good friends just wrote to them. She is really interested in joining. They are such a beautiful community!!! As for the community I'd choose, definitely the PCPAs. I'm clearly A Franciscan at heart, I love love LOVE the charism of perpetual adoration (clearly, interceding for the needs of the world in Eucharistic adoration is so... AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!!!) and Mother Angelica was absolutely amazing. But just for a day, I realize that the cloister isn't for me. The silence would do me good though. edited for a reason why.

TeresaBenedicta Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Oh! I think I know! I think I'd go with that cloistered community of Carmelites in Nebraska (they also just opened another convent in Pennsylvania) who celebrate the TLM and chant the Divine Office in Latin.

laetitia crucis Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 So it appears we'd all like to go to the cloister... for a day (well, except for vee8... she'll stay locked up in her cell, busy procuring gallons of holy tears to get the rest of us into heaven ). I find this rather interesting. Are we all closet-contemplatives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morostheos Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I think I would go to the Poor Clares of the Immaculate Conception, just south of Chicago. I used to live near there and would do my Holy Hours there. Every time I went I would dream of joining their order and spending all of my hours in front of the Blessed Sacrament. I knew it wasn't what I was called to, but on crazy days the peace and solitude is so tempting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
