I love living in community and I think there are healthy ways to tend to both togetherness and the common life as well as having quiet, alone time. LOL Jean :)

Our need for community can be partially filled by the collectivity of online interaction - I'm a big fan of this site! - but I really think community ultimately involves face-to-face interaction. I am hoping to become a sister, and it is very important to me that I would be living with at least several other people and not be alone too much.

It's those people whom I could call at 4 am and they would be pulling on their clothes before they asked me what was wrong. My definition of community is my ‘4 am friends’.

Its so true that there is a misconception of what "in community" means. My order, the Brothers and Sisters of Penance, each live in their own homes and keep contact usually offline or online. They generally do an apostolate of their choice, even if they're homebound or do have a job or are disabled. Their mission is to promote the Gospel and Penance. Their patron is St. Francis. If you'd like more info, just email me or look them up on Google. I won't spam the comments with a link. Thank you for such an educational post!
