If You Could Join Any Community...

[Veritas]

+

Just for fun:

If you had perfect health, the right age, no debts, etc, etc, etc, (in other words -you just COULD because you LOVE their charism/the community), who would it be?




For me, I think it would be the Missionaries of Charity







( I never actually could because I have a chronic illness, which makes the labour unsustainable)

[TeresaBenedicta]

Hmm.

Nashville Dominicans.

(Although.. I s'ppose there's nothing stopping me 'cept myself on that one...)

[A Yearning Heart]

Nashville Dominicans. For sure.

[Ann Stanton]

I would choose to be either a Dominican of Kenosha, Wisconsin or a Dominican Sisters of Bethany (if I spoke French).

I would be a cloistered Carmelite nun.

[Saint Therese]

I would be a Dominican Nun of the Monastery of the Heart of Jesus, Lockport Louisiana.

[littlesister]

Little Sisters of the Poor - all over again!

[MissyP89]

I think 3OP--the Lay Dominicans!

[VeniteAdoremus]

I'll tell you in three months.

[Maria Faustina]

Ditto

[doe-jo]

FSSP

[DominicanPhilosophy]

Ah! The Nashville Dominicans have hold of my heart! Three more years, God-willing.

[Maria_Faustina]

A Missionary Franciscan or Poor Clare, like the Poor Clare Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart in Cuernavaca, Mexico... one of the 'ifs' being God endlessly giving me His courage and strength!
Or, a Carmelite, of course.

[pan!c139]

The Sacred Heart Sisters, hands down. Luv those ladies.

JM + JT

If God left it all up to me and assured me a religious community was the way to go, then...

I'd choose either the Carmelite monks in Wyoming, FSSP, or ICRSS.

[Luigi]

Dominican Missionaries for the Deaf Apostolate

[VeniteAdoremus]

If you think you don't have enough choice, take a look at this:

At the top, you can can also pick nuns or laity

[Vincent Vega]

Daughters of Charity. The only thing in my way is...well...I'm a guy. But I sure do love those sisters!

I'd be a Lazarist. While not really a community, it would be my order of choice.
