Spiritual Autobiography Guidelines As part of the process of becoming a Camaldolese Oblate, we ask that you send us your spiritual autobiography in order that we might help you discern whether this is a suitable path for you. Take some time to pray and ponder before you begin writing your two-page narrative. If you wish, you may use the prompts below to help you clarify your thoughts. o o o o o Tell us about your spiritual journey. Describe what or who has led you to inquire about the Camaldolese charism. What do you hope to receive from being a member of the Oblate community? What are some of your lived experiences of spirituality? What aspect of Camaldolese spirituality interests you most and why? For example, are you most drawn to contemplative prayer, inter-faith dialogue, new monasticism, the hermit dimension, care of the environment? If you are hoping to be attached to New Camaldoli Hermitage or the Monastery of the Risen Christ, please send your document by email to Mary Pat George at ronandmpg@gmail.com, who will pass it on to the Oblate Chaplain. If you are interested in joining the Incarnation Monastery community, please go to https://incarnationmonastery.com/ for instructions about where to send it.
