Orders charisms

[judechild]

I’ve heard that each religious order family (Franciscan, Dominican, etc) has it’s own charism that the members try to perform. What are the differing charisms?

 

[Lilllabettt]

If you’ll permit me some over-simplification:

Franciscans: Holy poverty, humility
Dominicans: Holy learning, preaching
Carmelites: Interior life, prayer for priests
Salesians: Gentleness, cultivating “little virtues”
Benedictines: Liturgy, sanctification of the day

You may want to google the different orders to get more information directly from them about their charism.

You can find our charism at:

Hope this helps!
