tinytherese 1,137 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I know that at a lot of communities religious get new names once they become novices. If you could choose a religious name for yourself what would it be? I don't know what mine would be. I've thought of it before and tried to get creative about it but am undecided.

DiscerningSoul 2 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 There is a thread on this but ok, I'll bite again. Sr. Mary Peter of the Passion For my home parish(Please pray for it, we are down to ONE Mass with visiting priests) and to suffer for souls. Sr. Mary Margaret of the Sacred Heart For my devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Sr. Mary Bernadette of the Infant Jesus I love the saint and the Infant Jesus or any combination of the above. But that is up to our Lord what he wishes to call me when I become 'engaged' to him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alicemary 7 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I would have liked to have been called Sr. Damien Rose of the Heart of Jesus. A tad fancy but I am devoted to Father Damien Saintourens founder of the Dominican Nuns of the Perpetual Rosary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TeresaBenedicta 190 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Wow. I've never really thought about this and I can't say that I have an immediate answer. I would say Sr. Teresa Benedicta, lol. But I need to think a lot more about this and come back to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnnydigit 1 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 what's the story behind the suffix "of the so-and-so"? seems more religious females have that than males.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nowak.chris 0 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Br/Fr Robert (taking the name of the founder isn't too audacious, is it?) Br/Fr Peter Ignatius (my silver-white on flaming-red) Br/Fr Jeremiah Br/Fr Ezekiel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amor vincit omnia 19 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Sister Teresa of Avila (Because I have great devotion to her) or Sister John of the Cross (because I've read a lot of his writings and in my own personal way can relate to what he has written) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
