any monastery or spiritual pursuing community offering immediate monastic vocation training,without first having to go to retreat,then conversing about it,then again retreat,then conversing again about the intentions...some people know since their childhood that monastic life is what they want to live,why making it so beaurocratic and difficult??and yes i mean myself....i want to follow my heart,but it seems that in this life many groups have claimed sovereign authority over certain things,and that makes it difficult for individuals to live the life they really want...and they want to achieve and live in grace and in human perfection,but it is so difficult...i am not sure is that necessary..i could be wrong...there has to be a group,that is open ,but where...i have not found it yet...please share any info/experience/idea....thank you...blessings...

  1. There is NO EASY WAY... if you want to join a recognized monastic order then you HAVE TO COMPLY with their demands.. you won't change THEM... they will change YOU... or you won't last.. and having to do things the easy way and YOUR way is NOT they way to be accepted into their inner circle.

    Besides that... IT'S NOT FREE... you have to PAY to enter a monestary... you do know that... right?


  2. That is not burocracy, it`s just that they want to know if you have the conditions for such a state of life, then you`ll go into the 4 steps to get to be a monk!! It`s just the best you can do,  if you think you have the vocation, I mean if you feel God wants you in the Monastic Life, GO!. Don`t waste time, follow your heart, don`t say NO to God.  You can go to the Benedictins, or  Capuchin Monasteries.

    Look for them in Internet.  I think there`s one in 37th. Street, Pittsburg 1, Pa.
