PhuturePriest Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 emmaberry and I thought it would be razzle dazzle to make a thread for Franciscans, so I took the initiative. This is for general Franciscan talk -- especially discernment with Franciscan communities. But simply doing a post on the interesting aspects of the Franciscan Order is fine, too.

emmaberry Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Well to start I did not know that the Franciscans began before our Lady gave St Simon Stock the brown scapular...very interesting! Also, I am applying to the Poor Clare Colletines...I think that's Franciscan talk. The dynamics PCs have with the Franciscan brothers equivalent to them is very charming. The PCCs have the Franciscans Minor as their 'counterpart' in the diocese of Las Cruces, and they paint a really beautiful image of how Francis and Clare must have interacted in the beginning. Thanks for the thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmenchristi Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 emmaberry... can I ask where are the Poor Clare Colletines that you are applying to? I know a sister who entered with them somewhere on the east coast (transfer sister), but I guess I don't know what her new name would be, so IDK if I'd be able to tell if you met her or not! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilianus Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Shameless blog plug (it's Franciscan related) [url="http://corpusimmobiliserrantemanimum.blogspot.com/p/munequitos-monasticos.html"]http://corpusimmobil...monasticos.html[/url] Scroll down you'll see the Franciscan peeps. There are also Franciscan subjects in the other sections, Saints, Clip Art and Misc. stuff. Edited July 16, 2012 by Maximilianus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there are so many lovely Poor Clare communities near the east coast, I don't know any sisters personally from those monasteries. I kind of wish I was called to a different one though (is that even legal to say??) because the Roswell PCCs don't allow live-ins! Quite scary. I know a lot of PCCs follow this same practice, but some do allow live-ins, and it would be so nice to live in the monastery for a while just to boost confidence in your decision. That's great that you know a PCC though! One of the Roswell sisters is a transfer as well, maybe they both transferred out of the same original monastery?

LaPetiteSoeur Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I love Franciscans! I'm discerning between two right now! The charism of Saint Francis is so wonderful. For a long time I thought I was called to the NDs, but Saint Francis stole me from St. Dominic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiquitunga Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Has everyone here seen the movie by the Franciscans of the Immaculate on Blessed Duns Scotus?

They have sandals and socks and snow boots for going outside when it's cold, but they go barefoot most the time inside the monastery unless a sister has some problem where she needs to wear shoes. They can also wear socks when the floors are cold inside. Women visiting can choose whether or not to wear shoes, I guess, but I don't wear them. I don't like things on my hands or on my feet, so it's wonderful to go there and walk around barefoot all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Holy golden calf! I didn't even know people posted on this! Last I checked I posted it and nobody posted at all, so I assumed it was one of my failed threads. Guess I was wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
