@SupportiveDante Talking to the local greater Vancouver priests help me see the richness of various religious order options with their different charisms. One priest I talked to was discerning to become a third order Benedictine before becoming a diocesan priest. I also become aware that as a married layman there are various third orders that I can belong! Since I'm drawn into Aquinas, I have to consider Lay Dominicans.

@GratefulDisciple nice!

I am actually going to a discernment retreat in about an hour

Just getting lunch first
