||||

Material from Bishop Robert Barron |

|
||||
|
||||
## Consecrated life |
||||
like monks or nuns |
||||
|
||||
Religous Orders: a group ow way of life or charism |
||||
| | | | |
||||
|---|---|---| |
||||
|in the world | brothers | sisters| |
||||
|monasteries| monks | nuns| |
||||
|
||||
Brothers run the schools |
||||
|
||||
La Salle -> Christian Brothers |
||||
|
||||
Every order has a specific charism or focus |
||||
- charism is a particular skill set, passion, gift, and/or essential intent given by God. |
||||
|
||||
Example: |
||||
|
||||
**Producer:**: Makes the acutal thing happen. Usually marked by hands-on work. Often given tasks to complete by others. Often has a tangible connection between work done and the result. |
||||
* programmer, construction worker, cook |
||||
* easier work-life balance |
||||
|
||||
**Manager:** Works to maintain and control systems through consistency and accountability with a goal of efficiency and stability. |
||||
* Has manager in the title often lol |
||||
* communication and process |
||||
* keep the good thing going. Conservative view on maintaining. |
||||
* details and day to day |
||||
|
||||
**Leader:** OProvides vision, inspiration, and mission to a group. Can welcome chaos and take the long view. Given to abstract and creative thinking. |
||||
* longer term view |
||||
* ok with longer later stuff |
||||
* not as detail oriented |
||||
|
||||
Side-Note: Leader & manager: HIBT from NPR |
||||
|
||||
going to college is similar to monastic system. Similar to the monk life. |
||||
everyone is going for the same thing. |
||||
|
||||
natural trade-off is the long term relationship b/w monastic and long term |
||||
|
||||
Three Vows and Charism to the consecrated life |
||||
1. Poverty (sacrifice private ownership to serve the community) |
||||
2. Chastity (sacrifice romantic relationship for the fellowship of brothers/sisters) |
||||
3. Obedience (sacrifice personal preference for the sake of the community) |
||||
* no career-building, serve the community for the community |
||||
|
||||
Purposes: |
||||
1. Those in the consecrated life work to follow the way of Jesus literally. |
||||
2. Support the community |
||||
|
||||
Particular communities have particular charisms: |
||||
|
||||
Hospitality, Prayer/Work, Service to the Poor, Preaching, Education, Healthcare |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Focus on order: The Benedictines |
||||
* first official religious order: early 600s at the fall of the roman empire |
||||
* Charism of Stability: |
||||
* stay on the land that you are on |
||||
* monostaries are self-sufficient |
||||
* you stay on that land |
||||
* Not a big value on people at our time |
||||
* "boredom is a goal not a problem" |
||||
* good goal for the world because of climate change |
||||
* Charism: Prayer and Work: |
||||
* fields: grow and prepare food |
||||
* artwork |
||||
* candles |
||||
* beer |
||||
* wine |
||||
* cheese |
||||
* bread |
||||
* translations |
||||
* "everything is spiritual" |
||||
* Hospitality |
||||
* see and treat anyone who comes to the monastery like Jesus, himself. |
||||
* Sr. Rosemary Nyirumbe |
||||
* being nice to child solders in Uganda |
||||
* Brian Loritts |
||||
* the people who you eat with is your community |
||||
* Holy Leisure |
||||
* the spending of small time is not efficient |
||||
* resting, going slower can provide meaning |
||||
|
||||
## Preisthood |
