salterrae Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniteAdoremus Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 If you think you don't have enough choice, take a look at this: [url="http://www.op-stjoseph.org/loc-sisters.html"]http://www.op-stjoseph.org/loc-sisters.html[/url] At the top, you can can also pick nuns or laity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited August 4, 2008 by USAirwaysIHS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They live at my school. There were about 16 priests living in one house on my campus, with a house right off campus where there were another 5 or so, and a third house off campus where there were another 10 or 12. They, for the most part, are a communal order. Where required (because of the needs of the area, or the demands on the order in that region), one will live by himself in a parish, or with 2 or 3 in that parish. They are by nature, however, a communal order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had the privilege of contact with active Lazarists, but as I have worked very closely with D.C. sisters, and I consider St. Vincent my patron, and I don't think I'd enjoy contemplative life, etc. My parish priest is a former Lazarist, I suppose I could ask him sometime. Thanks for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosaMystica Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If it was completely up to me and I could follow my own will instead of God's I would definitely pick the Norbertine Canonesses or the Discalced Carmelites in Nebraska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
