There may be others, I don't know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.[/quote] I would take Sr. Pauline Therese in a split second. My second choice would be Sr. Martha Therese. My third choice would be Sr. Therese Magnificat. Blessed the Year of Saint Paul . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I answered this in the other thread someone made, but I thought of another one that I like more than the others. Sister Siena Marie or Sister Siena Rose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Siena is such a pretty name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alicemary 7 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Dominicans, indeed, do take a title with their name. Check out Moniales blog and see some of the names of the Sisters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deus te Amat 1,447 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Thank you Alicemary, I guess Maria Faustina and I are just thinking of the Active Dominican orders we are more familiar with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caramelonion 0 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 My choice would be Sr. Mary Colette, Sr. Mary Margaret or Sr. Mary Helen and to any of those I would add of the Holy Trinity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the lords sheep 2 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 i've definitely answered this before, but why not... I used to be really set on Sr. Anthony Therese Mariae, but recently I've been very drawn to Sr. Vincent Marie. The order I've been discerning with doesn't do titles, but if I could pick one, it would be "of the infant Jesus", "of Jesus, the Eternal High Priest", or "of Mary, Mother of Priests." Actually, in the order I've been discerning with, you don't choose your name, either.... but still, there are stories of Sisters "knowing" what their name would be in their heart before they were named by Mother.

Saint Therese 43 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I know some Dominican nuns who have titles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fr. Antony Maria OSB 109 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) I don't really know. I've thought about John, or Boniface, but in all honesty I haven't given it much thought. I'm more focused on discerning the community before I discern the name! edit: oh, and Benedict! How could I have forgotten Benedict!
