I just want to do a poll and see: what spirituality interests you most, or what spirituality to you practise? I am making it multi-option because you can have more than one, and please if I haven’t listed yours, please post it in the thread! God Bless :signofcross::byzsoc:
 
As much as I love the two great Teresas, I’d say I’m more Ignatian than Carmelite 👍
 
I am none of the above because I am easy going in my journey with God.😊
 
I was originally attracted to both Dominican and Ignatian spirituality and settled on the Dominican route.

As a small point of clarification, Ignatian spirituality is practiced by several groups, not just the Society of Jesus. A good example is the Oblates of the Virgin Mary. omvusa.org/ One of their priests has a show on Sundays called “Living the Discerning Life” which is all about Ignatian Spirituality and is quite good.

Peace everyone,
 
This is very interesting. Although I went through Jesuit education and am familiar with Ignatian spirituality, I think I’m too early in my own spiritual development to adopt a particular “style.” I’m just trying learn and live the faith as much as possible with lots of prayer, Sacraments, and love. This might be something to explore though.

God bless,
Bryan
 
I have a couple, but if I pick one, it’s (orthodox–small o 😉 ) Franciscan
 
From the ones mentioned above I’m quite drawn to salesian and carmelite.
 
Gotta love Ignatian spirituality!

Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.

And don’t forget the Examen!
 
I had to pick the Jesuits!

The Spiritual Exercises changed my life! :getholy:
 
Brigittine 🙂
I was really surprised that it was included as it seems to be fairly minute and largely overlooked in the modern church. Though I guess that’s not terribly surprising as there’s only 12 female communities and one male community. Thanks to Henry VII, who managed to surpress most of their communities, and martyr a lot of their monks, most notably Saint Richard Reynolds.
 
I chose Carmelite 😃
I am interested in reading the works of Carmelite saints, but I think the only book I’ve finished that was written by them is “Story of a Soul” by St. Therese. I’ve read some excerpts from the works of St. Teresa and St. John though.
 
I chose Salesian, which has aspects of Ignatian and Carmelite spiritualities. :cool:
