Become a Religous

From even before Christ, there were some whom God called to live and pray in a community in the wilderness or margins of societies to serve Him in the poor or pray for the world. Each religious order has a particular protocol of discernment but all at some point require:

• living life with them and participating in their mission as a temporary discernment period. 

• visiting

• intense personal prayer with God

• living in community

Some of these that could be joined today include:

1. Dominicans

2. Carmelites

3. Franciscans

4. Benedictines

5. Carthusians

6. Trapists

7. Norbertines (priests)

8. And many others including smaller individual orders.

These vocations are frequently accompanied by a long discernment process and are as much in need of prayer as there are willing to pray for you.
