Slappo Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Tell that to Elijah on Mt. Carmel... Booyah... [quote]The date of the foundation of the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel has been under discussion from the fourteenth century to the present day, the order claiming for its founders the prophets Elias and Eliseus, whereas modern historians, beginning with Baronius, deny its existence previous to the second half of the twelfth century. As early as the times of the Prophet Samuel there existed in the Holy Land a body of men called Sons of the Prophets, who in many respects resembled religious institutes of later times. They led a kind of community life, and, though not belonging to the Tribe of Levi, dedicated themselves to the service of God; above all they owed obedience to certain superiors, the most famous of whom were Elias and his successor Eliseus, both connected with Carmel, the former by his encounter with the prophets of Baal, the latter by prolonged residence on the holy mountain.[/quote] [url="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03354a.htm"]http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03354a.htm[/url] Edited August 17, 2009 by Slappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't have a favorite. I grew up with Sisters of St. Joseph and Augustinian friars so I guess if anything I have a special fondness I associate with those two orders. As far as preferring one order over another, though, I don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximilianus Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'm torn between the Dominicans, Carthusians, Carmelites, and Cistercians. Leaning towards the Dominicans. If the military orders existed it would be the Order of St. John of Jerusalem (pre-Rhodes/Malta). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 +J.M.J.+ Dominicans it's phunny because all my patron saints are Dominican (they were my patron saints before i realized they were Dominican), and a lot of books that i seem to be drawn to are written by Dominicans.
