1	Paths of Love Vocational Discernment This website is dedicated to information and discussion about vocation to states of life in the Catholic tradition, drawing upon the Fathers of the Church, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis de Sales, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and the popes, particularly Pope John Paul II. Many texts on vocation discernment may be found here, as well as information about the book "Paths of Love", which takes as its starting point the universal call to holiness and to love.	147
2	The Carmelite Webpages The Carmelite Order is a Catholic religious order of men and women who, inspired by the spirit of the Prophet Elijah and the Blessed Virgin Mary, seek to live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ through contemplation, fraternity and service in the midst of the people. The site provides a wealth of information about all things pertaining to the Order. Though it does not excel visually, the site is well-organized and easy to use, with sections on the Carmelite family, Carmelite spirituality, their work, and other resources.	139
3	Miles Christi Miles Christi is a religious order of priests and brothers seeking to encourage and inform college students on how to deepen their faith and grow in holiness. The order has a strong emphasis on education, manual labor, and the faithful restoration of the liturgy. It works to promote the sanctification of the laity by providing retreats, conferences and summer camps. Miles Christi is a faithful religious order which we highly recommend.	169
4	Dominican Students Dominican Students is the website of the Studentate of the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph (also known as the Dominican House of Studies). It provides information about the formational life of the Province as well as on the Friars' life of prayer and study. It also features information on the Dominicans in general and is a good resource for young men discerning a vocation. The Province of St. Joseph greatly encourages fidelity to the traditions and spirituality of the Dominican Order through the constant guidance of the writings of the early Fathers and St. Thomas Aquinas. Unlike many religious orders which have fallen away from the intensity and wisdom of their founder and origins, the Students of St. Joseph’s Province are determined to live out their religious calling, “to contemplate and hand on to others the fruits of contemplation.”	115
5	Charterhouse of the Transfiguration The Charterhouse of the Transfiguration located in Southern Vermont, is the only Carthusian monastery in North America. This website presents a glimpse into the life of the Carthusians which is inspiring and challenging to those of us who live in the world. The site offers a wealth of information in the form of booklets available in pdf format.	100
6	Discalced Carmelites in the Australian Region This website is for the Australian Region of the Discalced Carmelites. The Discalced Carmelite Friars and Nuns is a religious community within the Catholic Church. Founded in Spain by St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross in the sixteenth century as a reform of the twelfth century Carmelite order, to restore the original contemplative focus of the order. Their official designation is OCD.	25
7	Intercessors of the Lamb The Intercessors of the Lamb is a Roman Catholic community of Priests, Brothers, Sisters and Laity in full obedience to the Holy Father and to the teaching of the Magisterium of the Church. The Intercessors of the Lamb are dedicated to the contemplative formation of all Christians for the powerful ministry of intercession. Their goal is to develop and foster a deep interior life in the hearts of God’s people so that they might become within themselves, “a house of prayer” as God is within Himself. The Intercessors of the Lamb have a distinctively charismatic piety which may be off-putting or unhelpful to those whose piety does not run along those lines. Moreover, it is somewhat troubling that their charismatic spiritual program fails to include any sort of caution or guidance concerning the characteristic dangers, excesses and misunderstandings frequently associated with the Charismatic Movement.	21
