vee Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 [quote name='IgnatiusofLoyola' date='07 July 2010 - 04:16 PM' timestamp='1278537367' post='2139042'] Those are lovely names. I sometimes wonder if they have a problem in choosing names in Carmelite Communities, since so many Carmelite nuns/Sisters (understandably) would like to have Therese or Teresa as part of their religious name.[/quote] I dont! I think every Carmel has a Therese or Teresa but the rest of the Sisters have other names like Maria etc. [quote]Vee8 started calling me "Sister Polycarp" a few days ago, and I'm finding that the name is growing on me. And, after I read about St. Polycarp's life, it seems he has gotten a raw deal. He may not be one of the "flashier" saints, but he appears to have made an important contribution to the history of the early church. [/quote] Yeah I think it was after you dubbed me Sister Mary Christmas Now where did I put those bells....
regina_coeli Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 I think Sister Polycarp was in "This House of Brede". She said the name was fine because she was a "strange fish" or words to that effect. She had associations with Phillipa's past life that were troubling, but eventually they became friends after a bout with chickenpox. Someone please help if I have muddled the story completely![img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif[/img]

If we locate the Phatmass Phemale Community in a temperate area, perhaps we can have a koi pond as part of our monastery gardens.
JTheresa Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 sad day. I cant have the name Theresa Marie anymore. One of our new novices took it.

But then again, if one were to take the French form of "Therese", then I'd want the French form "Claire" to go with it.

I want the novice to find fulfillment in whatever God's will is for her--I wish her only happiness. It's just that it would be more convenient for JTeresa if the novice found that her vocation was elsewhere. Warning to JTeresa: Just because she took "your" name, does not give you an excuse to make the novice's life a living hades with the goal of having her leave. So, nix that plan, if you had ever considered it. Edited August 17, 2010 by IgnatiusofLoyola

OR Sr. Theresa Antonia hmm... Oh well, I've got a while to think about it.
OnlySunshine Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 If I become a Dominican tertiary, I hope to use my two favorite Dominican saints for my name in consecration: Catherine Rose, O.P. I can't just choose one because, to me, they go together, especially since St. Catherine was St. Rose's inspiration to become a Dominican tertiary and she practiced the same penances.
LadyOfSorrows Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) I've always loved our Lady under the title of the Mystical Rose... I've always wondered about becoming Sr. Rosa Mystica.
