tinytherese Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 [quote name='InHisLove726' post='1857179' date='May 4 2009, 12:47 AM']I know what you mean! I was drawn to St. Therese even before I knew I was called to be a Carmelite. In fact, she was crucial in finding my call. I watched the movie (2004 Lindsay Younce version) and read her autobiography before ever meeting a Carmelite Sister. Then, when I went to Milwaukee to meet my future Sisters (God-willing) for the first time, I asked her to give me a sign in the form of a rose if I was called there or not. I took a picture of the St. Therese statue down the hall from my guest room, and didn't realize until I got home and looked at the pictures I took that there was a rose underneath! I've really been interested in St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross for a while now. These quotes help me a lot:[/quote] Have you checked out this mini-series on the life of St. Teresa de los Andes? The first episode is awfully slow but the rest of the episodes are great.

Jennifer G. Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Carmelite. Franciscans used to be my first choice (Mother Angelica! ), but something about St. Therese grew on me. She's fast becoming one of my top 3 favorite saints (right now, she's in a tie for 3rd place with Joan of Arc! St. Faustina is my favorite, then St. Francis. They have a place in my conversion, too). Plus, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel was the first major Marian apparition that I read about when I started researching Catholicism (I used to be Lutheran) many years ago. I even have the Brown Scapular, too. I'd love to see what convent life is like, unfortunately, there just aren't many traditional ones close to my area (Baltimore). Baltimore Carmel, and even Port Tobacco Carmel (which I like better than Baltimore Carmel) follow the 1991 constitution. All of the 1990s seem to be around the Great Lakes. I really only know about the top 4 in the poll, plus a little about the Cistercians, and Trappists nuns. I've never heard of the Carthusians, but the word makes me think of a math term.

MissyP89 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans! Anyone want to put money down that InHisLove ends up a Benedictine now? I personally am called to marriage, but I do love the Dominicans! Some day, way down the road, I may discern to join their third order.

VeniteAdoremus Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 There is no such thing as too many secular Dominicans.
TeresaBenedicta Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Just thought I'd show my support for the black and white. Yay for Dominicans!

See, I absolutely love Edith Stein. And actually, I do have a fondness for some Carmelite spirituality as well... I'm a little sad though, there's already a Sr. Teresa Benedicta in the Dominicans of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist! Who would've thought?!
