LittleWaySoul Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 [quote name='LittleWaySoul' timestamp='1345596573' post='2471602'] Does the Mother of the order typically [b]chose[/b]? I was under the impression that the nun-to-be would choose her name. How does that work? [/quote] Oh my goodness. I know this is totally irrelevant, but I'm absolutely mortified that I wrote "chose" instead of "choose." Sorry! Anyway, thanks for answering my question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inperpetuity Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) There are so many names that I think are beautifull, but I would rather my prioress choose my name for me because this way I would be more certain that it was God choosing my name and not my vanity asserting itself. Since I do love St. Gertrude, I always kind of thought that would be a good name for me. Although the name Gertrude is not exactly attractive according to modern sentiments, the saint herself has a beautiful soul, but I could turn even that into vanity. Seriously, I am strictly speaking for myself here. Edited August 22, 2012 by inperpetuity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pax_et bonum Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I really like St. Br. Andre and it would be amesome to have that connection with the Congregation of Holy Cross. Maybe I'm biased, but they don't make priests like them just anywhere. And St. Joseph has always been around for me as well as being the protector of virgins. Of course Br. Andre had a great devotion to him, and the first community I got to know, SSFPA, all have "of St. Joseph" for their titles. Sr. Mary Andre of St. Joseph (and possibly something else) I could totally see myself answering to Sr. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscerningCatholic Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I don't watch TV! Or Disney. Don't judge! Matthew 7:1. Maybe Beata Maria isn't the best idea after all. I wouldn't want all of the other sisters serenading me at all hours of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholicterp7 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I really love Sister Leonie Amata but when I told my mom that she said "I'm still going to call you Sister Solanus, or maybe I'll just call you Little Barnie" (that's what my Grandma, who is the reason I have such a huge devotion to him, would always call him because his baptismal name was Bernard) I also love Sister Mary Angelique. I have a friend in the Poor Clares in VA who's name is Sister Angelique and her feast day is Christmas! JMJ+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
