InHisLove726 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) [quote name='MissyP89' post='1886556' date='Jun 8 2009, 04:15 PM']If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans! Anyone want to put money down that InHisLove ends up a Benedictine now? I personally am called to marriage, but I do love the Dominicans! Some day, way down the road, I may discern to join their third order.[/quote] You'll lose that bet! I've been drawn to the Franciscans and the Carmelites before. I've never (not once) been drawn to the Benedictine spirituality. It doesn't suit me. I'm more drawn to the contemplative rather than the "ora et labora" spirituality.

the lords sheep Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 You could always be Sr. Mary Edith or Sr. Edith Maria or even just Sr. Maria Benedicta and take her as your patron! Who knows? If that's the name/patron that the Holy Spirit wants for you, He'll let you know!

'Course, I should probably focus first on getting into the right community before worrying about a religious name, eh? I suppose there's an order to these things.
VeniteAdoremus Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Oh, it's so annoying when the name is already taken! We have only eight sisters (and three deceased) but I'm already running into that And then Benedicta (the postulant, so she's [i]actually called[/i] Benedicta, how cool is that) is yet to be named. You'll see, she'll pick #1 on my list without knowing my list... Edited June 9, 2009 by VeniteAdoremus
InHisLove726 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 If I enter the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal (in the future), I would love for my name to be: Sr. Pio Maria of the Sacred Heart of Jesus I googled it, and it appears no one has this name of yet in the Sisters. There is a Friar by the name of Fr. Pio Maria.

My parish priest would have my skin, he already thinks I'm being way too pious And St. Pius' name in religion is already taken (by Sr. Michelle, the novice mistress).

He was so humble, and that's what I strive to be everyday. I love the story about Pius and piety. LOL!

I might just go for the whole martyrdom-by-Frisian thing if it means I get to see the looks on their faces I've been using that smiley an awful lot lately
