I've been thinking about pursuing the Lay Cistercians for a while now, the Trappist monastery near me is affiliated with the International Association of Lay Cistercians and just admitted one of their first, who happens to be a friend of mine whom I know because she was one of my catechists in RCIA. I have a vague understanding of Cistercian spirituality and that it largely revolves around contemplative prayer, but I want to learn more about what it looks like applied to the life of a layman.
I'm curious if my friends here have any opinion on the value of Cistercian spirituality or third orders in general.
