​I'm pretty familiar with the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming. It's fair to say that their life is most certainly radical, and will almost guarantee any monk's salvation. :P

For further clarification, I'm interested specifically in monasteries in the United States. I am aware of the Monks at Clear Creek, as well as the Trappists in New Melleray.

​Also, this is specifically for me, so there's no need to name convents.

​Eh, I knew that. I did it for the lurkers.

Really?

Done.

Anyway, Phetus, aren't you supposed to be off the Phatmass for Lent???

​Don't tease him. He obviously suffering withdrawal symptoms. :P

​Forget the lurkers. The women already run the place here, we can have a little something exclusively for the men for once.

​This is an important matter, so I'm allowing an exception in this case.

​Hardly. I go on here for private messaging with a certain member, but there's not much thread-wise that makes me particularly want to go on here regularly.

Please make that clearer in your OP.  

Here's a thread for you.

​Ok is it just me or is everyone, myself included, getting a little tense in phatmass? Open mike, debate table, even lame board, and now Vocation Station. I think phatmass is having Lenten withdrawals or something.

​Sarcasm is also an exception.

Now stop the "teasing" and don't post unless it pertains to the topic of the thread. Pirates in this thread will be hanged forthwith.

BEGINNING of HIJACK:

Ok, FP, all teasing aside -  and stepping outside the topic of this thread for a moment, not to hijack but to explain and perhaps clear the air between us.

There's nothing wrong with finding that you can't stay away. Most of us feel the same way too - that's why those of us who are here didn't make a Lenten intention to stay away. But since you also posted over and over again that we should admonish the sinners, some of us, as your phatmass phamily, tried to remind you of your intention, and teasing was a way to do it without coming across all heavy about it ( actually trying to be charitable but obviously just bringing up your defenses).  You will say that it's not a sin to break a Lenten intention but it is hypocrisy to criticize others for their failures and not acknowledge your own, or to rationalize and excuse what you are doing. Nothing is so important or vital that you just have to post on phatmass. After all, it's not that long until Sunday or even Easter! The world doesn't begin or end with a post.

Iggy even posted something about how it's ok to just say, look guys, I need to be here with you all, I overreached, I admit it.  I think that what got my goat was how self-righteous you come across when someone else is less than perfect but how you fail to acknowledge that you can't always keep the intentions either. It is also my fault that it bothers me and I need to work on that. But face it FP, you also have a little work to do in the humility area too. You made an intention, you aren't keeping it. End of story. You don't need to excuse it, but don't get mad at others when they point it out.

But it's ok. We are happy to have you around, but no pretense, ok? I will stop teasing and not mention this subject again. But at least I am being honest about it all now. Hopefully we can move forward now. Welcome back.

 

​END OF HIJACK.

Back to our regularly scheduled programs:

Abbey of New Clairvaux http://www.newclairvaux.org/  Cisctercians of Strict Observance in Vina, Northern California - they make wine.

​I checked your profile and it says you joined last May - this means this is your first Lent with us.  Trust me, this is probably the tamest Lent we've had in a long while on Phatmass.  Lent always turns into a super-tense, argument filled time (especially if it's an election year).
