I guess it should come as no surprise to everyone here which one I picked.

I am happy to see that at the time of this posting that one is in the lead too!
 
I was taught in a Franciscan school, and our church is staffed with Franciscan Friars, all of whom are dear friends. So I guess I am saying that I choose Franciscan? 😉

Peace! :gopray:
 
I’ve always liked the Carmelite school of spirituality.

Lately I’ve been attending benediction and confessing to a Franciscan. That experience inspired me to learn more about the Franciscan order. Now I’m really falling in love with their spirituality and devotions.

Those are the two that I voted for. However I also attend the EF mass at an oratory with a Benedictine priest. They have a wonderful love of the Lord, and I absolutely love attending vespers on Sunday evenings at their abbey, but in the end I have a hard time getting into Benedictine books I’ve read. It’s just not for me. I suppose that is why God gave us all of these wondrous and varied spiritualities.
 
I have always loved and admired the Franciscans and wish I could love poverty as they do. Nonetheless, I think I could learn to be more detached from the world from them, and I like their spontaneity and informality, sense of humor and lack of affectation. And their intimate and easy relationship with the Lord.

I especially appreciated this when my friends and I visited a shrine near me for a morning session with one of the friars and discovered that we were having the session in their recreation room and were going to be using their bathroom–which looked like a typical male bathroom complete with the razor and shaving cream lying about, and the toilet seat up:D Father wasn’t worried about it.

I just like their attitude toward life and the world. Who else wears an old pair of brown sandals and black socks in the winter?
 
Franciscan for me. Just became an Inquirer into the SFO on Sunday! 😃

I love the gentleness of spirit combined with the zest for life.

Congratulations! We are know as OFS now (which makes better sense as these are the initials used almost everywhere else)

OFS=Ordo Franciscanus Saecularis
 
I marked Augustinian since I’ve come out with that sort of spirituality when I took tests. I feel more in-line with Carmelite spirituality tho’. I don’t have a particular affinity with St. Augustine, but my thought processes are probably be more Platonic than Aristotelian like St. Augustine.
