The Dutchies are taking over the world \o/ By... er... leaving the Netherlands to join convents. Right. Working from the inside, we are. PP and I share the ambition to one day [s]bicker[/s] converse in Latin. Or possibly Arameic.[/quote] Ja, da's waar. And I'll be working inside an American convent. We'll have people everywhere! Latijn is heel cool. I noticed how it was actually a common thing in Belgium to study it in high school, if you had a Latin studierichting. I want to do Ancient Civilizations and Biblical Studies in college, so I'll have to take Greek and Hebrew as well. It sounds interesting, but...hard. As for religious names, I'm fond of Sr. Mary Philomena of the Holy Spirit and/or of the Immaculate Heart.

Spence06 Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 I prefer a diocesan outlook on spirituality taking all of these in a combined spiritually taken with the people of the parish.
sacredheartandbloodofjesus Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 St. Benedict! Dispeller of Demons! (Oh yeh by the way....the St. Benedict medal is the most highly indulgenced medal of the Roman Catholic Church ) not to mention he is responsible for the civilization of the west. GO ST. BENEDICT!! ps. thats the Rule hes swingin around
OnlySunshine Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 100% Dominican! I love all the Dominican saints including: St. Catherine of Siena St. Martin de Porres St. Rose of Lima and, of course! St. Dominic!

[/quote] May as well revive it though! It's a great thread!! Franciscan for me all da way!!
Mary Veronica Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 I put Marian, but not referring to some kind of Order. It's just I'm crazy about the Marian works of St. Louis de Montfort, St. Alphonsus Ligouri, Mary of Agreda, St. Bernard, St. Bernadette, Sr. Lucia of Fatima, etc.... But I'll be entering the Carmelite Order.

TeresaBenedicta Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Dominican, followed by Carmelite/Marian. But mostly Dominican.
JTheresa Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 I'm a confused person. I'm drawn to the Carmelites, I'd like to be more Dominican, but have discovered that I'm Franciscan. I don't know how I live with myself.
laetitia crucis Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Hmmm.. I think when I first answered this poll, I put Marian. I still think that's quite accurate.

[/quote] Amen! I think this is perhaps the reason why I've had such a difficult time understanding my own spirituality in discernment. All I knew is that I love Our Lady and wanted to be in an order/community that loves her deeply and has a great devotion to her. However, it turns out (most appropriately, of course ) that a majority of Orders/communities seem to have a great love and devotion to her. It would be easier if I knew from the very beginning that I was a "Carmelite", "Franciscan", "Dominican", etc... hmmm... this makes me curious about how each spirituality incorporates Marian devotion and the "Marian" spirituality into their own....
