MGTOW-Monks Going Their Own Way
That's basically what monks are
A non-destructive form of MGTOW
A lot of monastics were men who couldn't find wives, it has to be said.
Is that a decent reason for joining an order...?
Probably not
Is the outcome preferable to others?
Most assuredly
No, though it's tempting. A vocation should be done joyfully.
I did have a moment where a vocation did seem like a life much less complicated
But I've only really been in the club for two months, I shouldn't be making rash decisions like that.
Wouldn't mind being a Lay Dominican
YES, that line you drew is a hill you should be willing to die on
I have heard of this phenomenon
For lack of a better term, but it has been called the "shit-test"
She will test you from time to time to see if you are still capable of handling her
There was a time I did have a desire to be a priest. Though I did have a desire, I wasn't called for it. Like how someone wants to be an artist, but can't paint well.
I have the reverse going on haha
I am called to be a priest, but i don't wanna
I'm going to, but mostly just to be obedient
Then again, it's not as much about me. I have a Church to fix, souls to save
Much more important than whatever is going on inside of me
I'm fairly certain God is calling me to be a priest or a monk, but I still have much discerning to do.
I've considered it myself
Next time I talked to my priest I was gonna ask him how to become one
So I can consider it
The priesthood will pull you in they want u bad
Maybe good maybe bad idk
Any good sources on calls and discernment?
Reminder to visit the Forums often
