    I want to be a monk so bad. I feel like God is really calling me to it. Only problem is that I feel like I've either ran out of time or am running out of time due to my age. I'm almost 34. I've only recently joined the Catholic Church, so I'll have to wait 3 years to do any REAL discernment. I know that feeling a burning desire for a year still isn't that long on the scheme of things, especially since I haven't had a chance to properly discern and test my faith on that level. Seems like most monasteries have an age cut off of 35, meaning I'd be too old by the time I can even begin discerning. Please pray for me. While I'd still consider being a diocesan priest, but i'm not so sure that's what i'm being called to. I'd like to focus more on prayer.

      If god is calling you to be a Monk. He will make a way for you to be one. Continue to pursue it. Exceptions can be made regarding age, if God calls you.

      34 ? You're lucky. I'm 67 and for some reason God really has been "messin" with me. Who wants an old fart? All through my life my daily prayer and all day prayer is 'LORD Jesus, Shepherd me. And He has.

      Same here except I am 35. I was atheist for the longest time, then protestant before I discerned the Catholic Church is the True Church. I feel like I took too long to find my calling.

    I was a pagan child as well. I was four years old when I decided that I wanted to be baptized CATHOLIC. My mom and dad are not Catholics. Thanks be to God that four days before my fifth birthday I was baptized Catholic. I was baptized September 11.... what a coincidence, there is a history about September 11th. Deo gratias. Thanks be to God you said yes to the Priesthood. God bless and protect His faithful Priests. I love and I am thankful to God for His faithful Priests. I DO NOT WANT A WORLDLY PRIEST. I WANT A FAITHFUL AND holy Priests. We need more truthful and holy Bishops and Priests and definitely a holy faithful Pope... not a worldly pope who does not cared about saving souls from burning in hell. Climate change, promoting evil wicked godless agendas will not saved my soul from burning in hell. Thanks be to God that I know the truth and can not be brainwashed no more. No lies, no falsehoods, division, etc, etc will not bring me to heaven... no ways Jose.

    I really wish I had been born into Catholicism over mormonism. I may well have became a nun for the beauty of it. But, I'm over 60 now, halfway to 70 and not sure they'd take a newly converted Catholic in. Leaving this world for Him would be a blessing.

    Aw, silence, time for Christ. Monasteries are so beautiful. There's no place like them. I just can't seem to describe how I feel when I visit a monastery, it's like I feel so much peace, love, and feel Christ's love for me. The worldly things have no meaning. The music also touches my heart like I just want to shout "ALLELUIA". At times I wish I could stay at the Monasteries cause my heart is full and complete 😊❤ There's absolutely no other like the Catholic Church and we should embrace it. We are so blessed 🙏 ❤

    There was a study done in the 1930-1990s where every 10 years they asked a population of Catholic seminarians if they thought there was an active homosexual sub population within the seminary, by 1970 over 50% of those surveyed reported yes. Do what this information what you will. I believe the same trend occurs in monasteries

    The religious order called "the Norbertines" is NOT an order of monks. It is an order of priests who live in community.
    Monks are not, by definition, priests. They are in fact usually NOT priests. Norbertines are, by definition, priests who live in community to support their spiritual lives.
    Norbertines should not pretend to be monks. They are not.

    This man is NOT a monk. He is what the Church calls a Canon Regular, i.e., a priest who lives in community.
    Monks are, by definition, NOT priests, although some may happen to also be priests.
    This fake monk speaks, first of all, about clothing. As an adult, you just gotta wonder.... A guy who is all about how he dresses???

    It is very interesting what you say here about the buildings of monasteries and churches. The faith and love for God that went into these buildings is so special. I come from a small island in the Baltic Sea with over 90 medieval churches and also many ruins from such churches and monasteries. After the reformation these churches no longer are places for celebrating Holy Mass but we sometimes visit them, praying the Rosary to let theses old buildings remember...And these churches do remember...one can almost hear and very much feel it when being there. It is wonderful that you build new monasteries and have a very much alive Catholic church in your part of the world. (We happily have a small Catholic church on the island these days, a modern building and believers from many parts of the world and a priest we have borrowed from California as we have too few of our own. Please excuse my not too good English)
