zunshynn Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 [quote name='memtherose' date='Jul 25 2005, 08:06 PM']And the titles that I like... of His Most Precious Blood of His Divine Mercy of the Annunciation of the Holy Rosary of the Good Shepherd Well yeah.....but I'll let them decide. [right][snapback]659080[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Do they all have titles? I hadn't thought about that. I like either Sr. John Paul of the Passion, Sr. Joan Maximilian of the Precious Blood or the Passion, or Sr. Francis Madonna of the Passion.

[right][snapback]659086[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I don't think so. I think its mostly contemplative communities that have titles although, correct me if I'm wrong. The only active community I have heard of that take titles are the Sister Servants (of the Eternal Word) But again, I may be wrong.
jezic Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 i think you can take titles if God wants you to have them. Though overall i like Ignatius (ignatio) of the spirit.
karin Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Well I want to be Sister Mary Martin ( let them choose of course they can choose whatever they believe is God's will for me) and for my title I dont know I would like it to be something to be with Mary so I was thinking about : of the Immacculate(sp?) Conception of Our Lady of Guadelupe (i dont know if trhis one is even allowed but i would love it) of the Annuciation of the Assumption those are my favorites for titles God Bless and Mary keep Karin
ofpheritup Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 I might change my mind and ask for Sister Rita in honor of my sister who died.
zabbazooey Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 it is mostly contemplative orders that take names

zabbazooey Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 i know the carmelites of the divine heart of jesus take names....they are semi contemplative...
Totus Tuus Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 [quote name='jgirl' date='Jul 25 2005, 08:38 PM'] If I could suggest names, my favorite saints are St. Edith Stein (Teresa Benedicta) [/quote] A sister at the PCPAs received the name Sr. Maria Benedicta because Edith Stein was her favorite saint as well.
ofpheritup Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 [quote name='Totus Tuus' date='Jul 26 2005, 09:25 AM'][mod]edited at poster's request[/mod] I know the title is odd, but I just feel like that's what it might be. [right][snapback]659412[/snapback][/right] [/quote] No I think it is beautiful and unique. It is the first time I have ever heard it. I have researched over 36 communites cloistered and active. And there is no rule to the name thing. Some active are still TAKING NAMES some cloistered are not. It all depends on the community. I HOPE YOU GET THAT NAME....absolutely gorgeous.
zunshynn Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) [quote name='Totus Tuus' date='Jul 26 2005, 07:25 AM'][mod]edit[/mod]. I know the title is odd, but I just feel like that's what it might be. At the PCPA's, you submit three names, and Mother Abbess may or may not choose from that list. Other names I've considered are Sr. Marie John Paul and Sr. Marie Bernadine. [right][snapback]659412[/snapback][/right] [/quote] The Precious Feet of Jesus... how lovely! Not at all odd. The feet which took him throughout the world sharing the good news, and that must have been so pained as he walked barefoot upon Calvary as he carried his cross, and then were dreadfully punctured with nails... I think it's the smaller aspects of Jesus' life, that many do not often notice that are so important to be devoted to... Edited November 16, 2006 by homeschoolmom

All For Jesus Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 I think that's a beautiful name. I have been partial to the name Sister Mary Magdalene myself. I once heard the PCPA's sing about St. Mary Magdalene on Life on the Rock once.- It really touched me. It spoke about how Mary Magdalene broke the alabaster jar and gave everything to Jesus (even though she was criticized for it) and how we should not be afraid to give Jesus our all. After that, I have had a very special place for this saint in my heart.
ThyHolyLove Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 The order I'm thinking of entering with [url="http://www.ascjusvocations.org/homepage.htm"]The Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus[/url] let you choose a name or keep your baptismal name and add a saint's name. For me it'll be either Maria Emily for St. Maria Goretti or Maria Kolbe for St. Maria Goretti and Maximillan Kolbe.
FutureSoror Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Ohhh... I have ideas but they could very well change! These are tops right now: Sr. Imelda Therese Sr. Catherine Imelda Sr. Imelda Catherine Agnes and Agatha as well as others could easily be thrown into the mix, as well.

[right][snapback]659412[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I think that's how it is for the SMME's, too. They give Mother a list of three, in order of preference. I'm not sure if Mother can pick a different name than what's on the list of three, but I suppose that she could.
