## 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

|
