I have chosen the Dominican Order because of the way they preach to people and their attitude towards life. The love towards people in the Dominican Order is nothing like anything I have experienced anywhere in my life. The daily retune is different and stressful:
• 1:45 am: we wake up and do private reading and our own silent pray
• 2:00 am: we attend a church service
• 3:30 am: we go back to sleep, but we only do that in the summer
• 4:00 am: we attend another church
