Safia Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Thank goodness for Phatmass. I no longer feel ridiculous for having a growing list of religious names as an email thread in my inbox. The order I'm applying to always contains a Marian derivative, but that hasn't stopped me from just putting together a list. My favorite at the moment, I think, is something like Sr. Mary, Mother of Truth, and I'd want everyone to call me "Sr. Truth." Dominican motto, FTW. Beyond that: [background=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969)]Clare, Margaret, Diana, Imelda, Hosanna, Fidelis (Fidelity), Immaculata, Thea, Felicity (Felicitas), Veritas, Pia, etc. At the same time, I want it more than anything to reflect an identity, so I'm sure it would change during postulancy.

TeresaBenedicta, a former member here, entered there just recently and I believe she is already a novice. She made us aware of the Marian derivatives that her order takes like [i]Sr. Maria, Mater Boni Remedii[/i] or [i]Sr. Mary Lily of the Valley[/i].

Do you have a special devotion? A lot of orders require some variation of 'Mary' in their religious name. My (blood) sister's name is 'Faith' which doesn't seem to be a common Catholic name. I thought of being 'Sr Faith' but that would get confusing with my sister. Regardless, I love that people on here are thinking of incorporating the virtues of hope, grace, etc into their name!

[/quote] No. I do love the Servidoras, though, and they (along with the Sisters of Life and the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal) will always have a special place in my heart. They have a number of convents in NYC, and I've spent a lot of time with them. A good friend of mine entered just last week! I'm applying to a contemplative community. Until I'm accepted, I'll keep it private. Edited June 12, 2012 by Safia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! I am a huge fan of the Franciscans of the Renewal and the Sisters of Life. However, I know I am not called to either of them (though I really wish I was called to the CFRs sometimes). I am discerning with an order that has it's roots in Russia and is now based in Europe. It's a missionary congregation. If God permits me to enter there, I will reveal the name of the order to the phorum, but right now I'm keeping it personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
