J.M.J.T.?

[OLAM Dad]

The Dominican's often add a 'D'. Who can tell me what/who the 'T' is?

[the_rev]

Therese?

[Laudate_Dominum]

Thursday?

i also thought therese, the carmelites usually add the T after JMJ

[All For Jesus]

I believe it is for Teresa (of Avila)

[Birgitta Noel]

No, no, no, you're all wrong. It's Jesus, Mary, and Joseph TOO!

I have seen some Secular Carmelites add the "T" for Our Holy Mother, Teresa of Avila. I am not sure if the nuns, sisters, or friars do this [since I have not corresponded with any]

[Laudate_Dominum]

Maybe it stands for their lastname. Whatever the surname of the Holy Family was.. I forget..

Jesus, Mary and Joseph Turner? Except I realize their surname wasn't Turner.. Gosh.. what was it?



j/k

I've seen this only on Discalced Carmelite letterhead. It means: Jesus Mary Joseph Teresa

Sometimes they add J after the T for John of the Cross.

HTH.

Mr. Wilson:

T is definitely for Saint Teresa of Avila. I have asked my local Discalced Carmelite Nuns about this, and have corresponded with many Carmelite communities, and they all normally place "J.M. + J.T." at the top of the letter/message.

Also the "D" in "J.M. + J.D." or "Ave +D Maria," or simply "+D" is for St. Dominic.

that would be funny because lots of times people just refer to Jesus as Christ. The reason I find the thought amusing is because it's like how dudes on a football team or in the military or something often call each other by their last name.

: Therese......duhh

[Laudate_Dominum]

ok, seriously, I've known the answer all along so I feel mean. It stands for Teresa as in St. Teresa of Avila. How do I know? Because I've read the letters of certain sants who were discalced carmelites and sometimes they write JMJT, whereas other times they write the whole thing out. And it can't be St. Therese because even St. Therese does this in some of her letters.
