tinytherese Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I don't know if I'm called to this order or not but I am drawn to the carmelite saints. Their lives and some of their writings fascinate me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've really been interested in St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross for a while now.

johnnydigit Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 my favorites: spirituality = Carmelite. was drawn to them first and have read the most from their mystics. monastic rule, religious community practice = Benedictine. "The Rule of St. Benedict". charism = Franciscan. missionary friars. all of the above comes down to = Marian. hence, me = Franciscan + Marian = Franciscans of the Immaculate, Aug 2009.

Jennifer G. Posted June 8, 2009 Share 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.
