I want in as long as I can be Sister Rosary Bede. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/D.gif[/img]

I LOVE the name Sister Rosary Bede. And, I don't see anything theologically wrong with it, since it honors both the rosary, as well as St. Bede the Venerable.

I love St. Bede the Venerable. I know nothing about him, but when I lived in LA, there was a parish I frequently drove by named "St. Bede the Venerable." The name made me smile every time I saw it. I can barely remember the name of the parish church I was married in, but I never forget St. Bede the Venerable! LOL

I I need a better name for this specific community...

Sister Mary Creme Brulee perhaps? Sister Benedicta of the Abundant Bacon & I could handle the Refectory...

Hooray I get the name. I dont think of any part to follow it but I guess if I kept supervising the kitchen long enough Id be Rosary Bede of the Ample Bottom

[brandelynmarie]

Sister Rosary Bede, the Order will greatly welcome and appreciate your additional supervision and Quality Control over the food.

However, despite the fact that this order may initially seem frivolous to some, some earlier omissions due to ignorance, such as praying the Divine Office, will be added to the horarium.

And there WILL be SOME strict rules, which even myself, Sister Mary of the Benefit of the Doubt, will not allow to be broken, and one is smoking. Of anything. Ever. Tobacco, lettuce, and particularly, illegal substances. (Although I often kid about smoking pot, I myself have never smoked it, or ingested any illegal substance. Heck, I've never even smoked a tobacco cigarette--I'm surprised Berkeley consented to give me a degree.) Because of this, my ability to smell is excellent, and I can detect even trace amounts of tobacco on people's clothes--such as if they were in a room last week where people were smoking. So, no sneaking behind the statue of Mary in the grotto for a quick smoke--I'll know. Chewing tobacco is also forbidden. Gotta have standards.

However, the kitchen will be allowed to smoke its own ham or bacon if it so desires. And, fires in fireplaces will be allowed. (Although I'm strongly tempted to base this Order in a temperate climate.)

Suggestions for designs for habits for this Order are being taken. We had a thread awhile back of some especially attractive habits, and there was one blue and white one that I liked a lot (I'll have to go back and find the picture). However, the Order is open to other colors and suggestions. Whatever the habit of the other Sisters, Sister Salty of the Face that Scares Small Children will be required to wear a paper bag, except during meals (which she will be required to take alone, because I can't imagine watching her eat). We are considering the use of "Eating with Sister Salty" as a test of vocation for postulants.

Heeeey, her name is "Sr. Mary Terror of Demons", remember??



(Although, I do like your suggestion! )

Hmmm.. I need to think of a name for myself.

Sorry, I'm losing track of everyone's religious names. Perhaps Salty could have two names--one public name, plus a nickname within the Order. Outside the Order, we would never want to show disrespect for any of our Sisters, even if the Sister needs to wear a paper bag over her head much of the time, out of charity for those who are not used to her face.

A couple of suggestions for your own religious name:

--Mary of the Prime Numbers

--Mary, Giver of Thanks to God for Cadbury Chocolate.

However, I suspect you can come up with a name that is much more witty than either of those, as some of your fellow sisters have done.

How about these????

The gardener of the order... her name is Sister Mary Rose
The librarian is Sister Mary Reed
The nun who is sometimes up in the clouds is Sister Mary Butterfly

LOL

Any more?

When I first started discerning, I wrote a story with some of these nun names in it. :-)

I LOVE those names!!!! Since I plan to be the librarian (I can't cook worth a darn, but have my Master's in Library Science), I'll have to rethink my religious name. I could be Sister Mary Reed, but I could also be Sister Mary Dewey Decimal, Sister Mary of the Shelves to the Ceiling, Sister Mary of the Overdue (we could add Book, but since it's me, I have a million things in my life that are overdue!), Sister Mary who Doesn't Ever Hear the Bells Because She's Lost in a Book.

And, I love Sister Mary Butterfly--we need at least one true mystic in the Order. (As long as she keeps her joy in Jesus to herself after 9 pm so I can sleep.) If that last sentence makes no sense, read up the thread for the discussion of the saint who used to ring the Monastery bells during the night, so the other sisters could share her ecstatic experiences with Jesus. I'd last one night in the Order with that saint--if I don't get my 8-10 hours, I get sick.

BTW--Even though I started the idea for this silly Order, I'm not wise enough to be the Superior. We will have to elect someone else.

I'm a tad partial to Sr. Mary Dewey Decimal for the librarian!

How about Sr. Mary Cumulus, whose head is always in the clouds (or one could substitute Stratus, cumulonimbus, etc. depending on one's 'patron' cloud formation) ?

I just loved this post and laughed out loud at some of the replies. Maybe the community could be called the Daughters of Our Lady of the Smile.

Can I be Sister Jacuzzi Therese?

Excellent names--both for the order, and for yourself. We have never made a final decision for the name of the Order.

Of course we will have a jacuzzi. Many of the Sisters (especially me) have aching muscles that could benefit from a jacuzzi. Also, a jacuzzi would save water, because we could use it instead of taking a long, hot bath. (Note: This doesn't mean the jacuzzi would subsitute for daily bathing--only that we could take quicker showers, and then use the jacuzzi for therapy.)

We would wear only the most modest of bathing suits in the jacuzzi. Alternatively, the jacuzzi could be for only one person and be in a private place. (I'm from California, so think a jacuzzi outside enjoying nature--even snow--is wonderful. But, not all Sisters might feel the same.)

I'll be Sister Clumsy - I am always running into tables or dropping dishes you may need to make sure I use paper plates & cups for meals so I don't have a chance of breaking them!

I have similar problems.

You can call me Sr. Oopsy Daisy.

Or Sr. Mary Lacking Grace.

Not sure what I think of an outdoor jacuzzi, but how about a jacuzzi in each of the Sisters' cells ... hmm??

Sure, we could do that. For physical therapy needs, of course!
