I pray that you might be able to help me in my discernment to find a men’s religious order or congregation that is both contemplative and apostolic. I am a later vocation at over age 40 and feel called to the Holy Priesthood. I’m praying to find an order that has some basic foundations.{ It’s amazing but i’ve done quite a bit of searching and visiting but can’t seem to find a community.}:
-Traditional and keeping to the teaching of Holy Mother Church and the Holy Father
-Devotion for the sacred liturgies (Holy Mass is celebrated and fostered) with great reverence
-Daily Eucharistic devotion and adoration (not only in formation but daily through the priestly life)
  • Simple and non-worldly life (no TV! please)
  • Recollected and prayerful
  • Fraternal love for brothers
  • Some aspect of a contemplative life but taking the relationship built up in prayer in great apostolic service.
    Thanks for your help - Peace
 
Contact your diocesan vocations office and ask for help. That’s what they are there to do. They will be able to help you find and explore orders whose spirituality closely match your own. Please note, however, that in any order it will be your responsibility to conform to the rule and practices of the house, not the other way around.

Matthew
