I already consider myself a Dominican. 😃 Nah, I don’t think it’s weird.

I’m discerning the Dominicans right now, as I am very drawn towards their way of life and of preaching. I’ll be honest, though, what first caught my attention was the really cool capes. 😃

I’m discerning the Dominicans, too! I’m pulled in by the teaching, devotion to the Eucharist, Mary, and their love for Sacred Scripture. There is one convent in particular I’m especially drawn to because of the new evangelization. (Don’t tell anyone, but I really like the capes, too.)

All great things!

It’s a shame us aspiring Lay Dominicans don’t get capes 😦

Oh, really? That’s not fun… As soon as I have a high school diploma in my hand I’m gonna go enter a convent! I contacted them and they said any girl that walks in with a high school diploma gets a teaching degree! Can’t wait!!

Shoshana,

I don’t mean to derail the thread, but are the Secular carmelites very active in evangelization/preaching etc, or is their charism mostly union with God through prayer? Or both?

Thanks.
