There are aspects of all spiritualities that I love and seem like me... so this has been an ongoing question for me!

Is that the case with anyone else?

[goldbug16]

The Franciscans!!!

[magnificat]

A bizarre mix of Dominican & Carmelite, I think.

These are most certainly blessed orders of Holy Mother Church..... If pressed I would have to say..... The Montfort Fathers. I love our Blessed Mother!!!

I also tend to identify with the Fathers of Mercy for their preaching the truth with fire, passion, and zeal!!

[AlterDominicus]

Mostly the Dominican Order, and when I say OP I mean the whole order, I mainly love habited communities and feel called to the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist (www.sistersofmary.org) - but I love em all.

However the other part is Franciscan....I am learning to accept this. I have adapted to the Franciscan Cross Prayer which for example the FSGMS (www.altonfranciscans.org) Use for midday prayer if on like a trip. We (Tracy would know this) did I think 10 times, but originally you do it 6, its basically Our Father...Hail Mary...Glory Be....6 (or 10) times, however each has a significant meaning.

Its kinda nice really...Saint Dominic and Saint Francis had a very nice friendship/relationship.

There should be one more in Domincan from me -wrong button!

[jmj]

Benedictine!!

[Guest Rick777]

Carmelite, all the way.

[HisChild]

Carmelite. . .but I'd have to say that after reading about Padre Pio. . . I have some leanings toward him, and the Franciscans.

[zunshynn]

I think in many ways, I most identify with Dominicans... because they always seemed like the more scholarly order I guess, they seemed like a good fit for me because that's my inclination.

I can't really explain my attraction to the Franciscans... (HOW could you mispell that, Veritas?! Hater! : ) Except that I think it's an opposites attract kind of thing. Because Franciscans are somewhat different from what I thought I wanted, I think they're going to be the most challenging, and therefore most fulfilling for me. I'm uber glad St. Francis and St. Dominic were good friends though!

I have definitely begun to appreciate Benedictine and Carmelite spirituality much more in my time on the Vocation Station though!

[Mary-Kathryn]

I am a Secular Carmelite....so guess what I voted? :


[color="#3366FF"]One day St. Teresa of Avila heard someone say: "If only I had lived at the time of Jesus... If only I had seen Jesus... If only I had talked with Jesus..."

To this she responded: "But do we not have in the Eucharist the living, true and real Jesus present before us? Why look for more?" [/color]

I like me the Dominicans, my daughter is studying in a school of Dominic sisters.
But i am neocatecumenal.
Where is the news charism?.

[the_rev]

Since I'm looking at the secular priesthood and not the consecrated priesthood I don't have a order's spitirtuality. The spirituality that i have is a Marian spirituallatiy along with a very Christ centered spirituality.

[ruso]

If these it interested here go the links neocatecumenals, we have communities in more of 1900 parishes in the world, we are lays, the religius vocations that arise in our charisma(There are many), it is oriented above all to diocesan priesthood, and in the case of the women to the contemplative life or apostolic in different congregations, she decides.

It has been spoken of liturgical abuses in our masses and ceremonies, the truth is that has been granted us permission for these and we have corrected them as the Pope said.

[cathoholic_anonymous]

I am Carmelite to my core.

The priest who looks after the church attached to the monastery at Quidenham once described Carmelite spirituality as 'one of the richest treasures in the coffers of the Church'. I've never heard it better described.

[onlygrace08]

Carmelite!!! ... and perhaps a bit of Dominican and Franciscan too. lol.

Oh... and the Fraternal Society of St. Peter..... Obedient traditionalism... gotta love it!

[HeavenlyCalling]

Carmelite, with a dash of Dominican to satifisy my love of books and learning!

[scardella]

I find myself most attracted to either Franciscan or Carmelite... then again de Montfort (and Kolbe) rocks my socks too...
