franciscanheart Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Spelling of Franciscan fixed... I voted Franciscan. Veritas, which one did you vote for and which one did you MEAN to vote for?
brendan1104 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Carmelite-Dominican-Scalabrinian, and the traditional liturgical/religious life too. By the way, Fulton Sheen Warrior, FSSP's English translation= Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter.
Jabberwocky Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Franciscan for me, I think. I like them all, but I think I have more of the spirit of St. Francis. He just saw joy in everything, and loved all of God's creation. I love the relationship he had with St. Clare as well! What an awesome guy!
Tindomiel Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I'd like to vote for both Dominican and Carmelite... aspects of both their spiritualities resound greatly with me.
my EVERYTHING! Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Benedictine for me I think... Not really sure. Definitely adoration and the Bible are very important...
goldenchild17 Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I'm not sure I would associate with just one, other than Catholic... But I am particularly drawn to Augustinian spirituality.
Antonius Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) My spirituality is that of Msgr. Luigi Giussani and the movement that was founded because of him, Communion and Liberation. Edit: I also am a bit Augustinian, since my high school was run by the Augustinians. Edited October 23, 2006 by Antonius
TheOliverOrder88 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I guess for me, well its a bit mixed. I go to a Lasallian school, so I am Lasallian. I have bits of Franciscan and contemplative (Benedictine?) maybe even traditional orthodox Catholic and some charismatic aspects. I am all over the place.
son_of_angels Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 A bit complicated for me...I voted Benedictine, because the Benedictine discipline and daily sanctification, along with it's communal aspect, are the staples of my spiritual life. However, infuse A LOT, and by that I mean, like, a hundred gallons full, of CARTHUSIAN spirituality, with a good smattering of Augustine and Pseudo-Dionysius on its heels, and you have my spirituality. I positively love Carthusian spiritual writings, especially Hugh of Balma and the liber sine nomine "The Prayer of Love and Silence." I try to remember to say the Carthusian office of Paternosters and Aves at least once a week, and their notion of abandonment and the intimate relationship between Mary and the interior life goes well with Montfordian methods. BTW, I would highly suggest reading the book, "Searching for and Maintaining Peace" by, I believe, Fr. Jaques Philippe while doing the St. Louis consecration.
FutureIHMNJ Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Alphonsian Spirituality-The essence of Redemptorist spirituality is the stripping of self in order that the we can be transformed into the redeeming Christ.(viva memoria)
morostheos Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I have a Regnum Christi spirituality, which is Christ centered and focuses on five loves: Christ, the Church, Mary, Souls, and the Pope. [url="http://www.regnumchristi.org"]http://www.regnumchristi.org[/url]
angelusdomini Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Franciscan. I love the great focus on God's providence. Helps me a lot in developing a deeper trust in our Lord and knowing-really- that despite whatever is going on. Everything will be all right. The way of St. Francis is full of such youthful exhuberance and I love that. It is very scary too. Benedictine. I love the focus on the balance of ora et labora (work and pray) as well as the idea of Opus Dei. I must admit that this I actually picked up form my high school which was run by Opus Dei. Definitely instilled in me the ideal of using my everyday mundane tasks as a means of sanctification. When I do this, it helps me to be focused on the present moment and task.
FutureIHMNJ Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 [quote name='zunshynn' post='1098991' date='Oct 23 2006, 10:15 AM'] I really love St. Alphonsus. [/quote] I do 2...the IHMs were founded by a Redemptorist priest...and have grown to love Saint Alphonsus writings.
FutureIHMNJ Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 [quote name='zunshynn' post='1099116' date='Oct 23 2006, 01:34 PM'] He has beautiful Eucharistic poetry... [/quote] The secret of Alphonsus' approach is that anyone can pray in his simple style: [center] "Jesus, my Redeemer, I feel within me a great desire to love you. This is a gift of your grace, and I know that it comes from you. Give me the strength necessary to put your grace into action and help me, from this day forward, to say to you sincerely and repeat to you always, `My God, I love you, I love you, I love you.' You desire my love; I also desire yours. Let us love each other from now on and forever. You will never leave me; I will never leave you. You will always love me; I will always love you. 0 Mary, see how I run to you to confide in you. You pray for so many others; pray for me, too."[/center]
VeniteAdoremus Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Dominican \o/ Don't tell me you're surprized. The study, the preaching, the search for TRUTH - all me.
N/A Gone Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 How is this any different than denominations in a protestant church? btw, I dont know the difference with any of these. anyone got a quiz or something
