What Is Your Favorite Order?

[Little Flower]

If you choose other, please post it. I just put down all the ones that occurred to me immediately I know there's lots I forgot.

[SoonerCatholic]

Carmelites, because they were the first order that I love and continue to do so
Dominicans, because they are just all kinds of amesome
Missionaries of Charity, because they do extraordinary work with such humility and love

[Maximilianus]

Other,
Right now it's the order that used to be called the Royal, Celestial and Military Order of Our Lady of Mercy and the Redemption of the Captives and the Order of Citeaux.

So the Jesuits?

[vee]

Actually I like the order that WAS called the Jesuits but now tend to be called a bunch of hippies

My guy friend wants to be a Jesuit. He thinks it's his calling to reform the order. He is in denial that they are a bunch of hippies, though It's too bad I'll be in the convent before he finishes seminary, I'd like to see if he can survive a Jesuit...

Hmm, I get a bit wary when people start saying it's their calling to reform things. It reminds me of a saying by Leo Tolstoy: "Everybody thinks of changing the world, but nobody thinks of changing himself." I expect there are some unflattering and highly accurate descriptions that would suit me just fine, and which would make 'hippie' look like a compliment. But I hope the people who have to put up with me have the grace never to use them...

Yeah, don't worry, he's insane He'll come around... I think.

[OnlySunshine]

I choose 3:

Franciscan
Dominican
Other

The other being the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma, MI who are totally Marian in every sense of the word. They also pray heavily for priests and do work for the pro-life movement. However, if I could join the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, I would! I also think the Nashville Dominicans and Summit Dominicans are just AMAZING! It's so hard for me to choose. I wholeheartedly adore the RSMs, especially since I'm visiting them next weekend and God seems to be telling me something since He keeps putting them before me.

[LaPetiteSoeur]

Franciscan: because I love the FEs! I called them today and they are going to call me back tomorrow (I was going to call them yesterday, but I instead got crutches! )
Also, I was taught by the Felicians, and owe them a huge amount of gratitude. It's because of them that I received so much support!

My definition of a Jesuit hippie btw is along the lines of one who rather chant Buddhist sutras than pray the Rosary or teach them the Rosary.


edited to add that that definition covers all Orders
