FiereMargriet Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Up until very recently I would have said Carmelite...then I visited some Dominicans and read about their spirituality. Now I'm firmly on St. Dominic's side! I like the whole Rule of St. Augustine idea of becoming holy together. The Carmelites are all right too though And I like how both the OCDs and the OPs have strong Marian devotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carmelite Confiteor has the words "and to our Holy Mother St Teresa" in it! I didn't know that different orders changed it, but it makes sense. I mean, I knew that not everyone prayed it with the words to St Teresa, but didn't know that other orders added their own saints in as well. Neat.

[/quote] Ok, don't YOU hit me now, but first doesn't always mean best. The first computer in the world is not the best today now, is it? The reason that there are so many orders today is that God saw a need for different charisms and used different saints to fulfill this need. That being said, I love St Benedict (and St Scholastica -- and I wear a Benedictine crucifix)) and yes, Benedict [u]is [/u]the Father of Monasticism - that is agreed. Just as St Teresa and St John of the Cross are the spiritual parents of [u]mysticism [/u]in the Church (both Doctors of the Church as well, by the way). But then who is competing They are all HOLY! PS -- I adore St Thomas Aquinas by the way --- so Dominicans have a very special place in my heart too. He just speaks to my mind - and I love him for making the incomprehensible all so understandable. Edited March 19, 2009 by nunsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
