AlterDominicus Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 We have had a lot of disscusions as to what we religious to be and even those in formation to become a Novice in the novitiate and those even to be 1st professed for religious names, but this time is different, a lot of communities have a new thing choosing a title with that name for example, Sister Mary Catharine of Jesus O.P. Sister Judith Miryam of the Trinity O.P. And so forth and so on. I'm going to ask you the golden question What title would you like to have for your religious name and why. I myself personally would like to have the title "of the Rosary" Just because I have a nack of collecting rosaries, and I just got a brand new one today, I do though have to work on praying the rosary more often then I do, but I own alot of rosaries and love em.

DiscerningSoul Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 If and when I enter and become a nun I would like to take the title of: Sister Mary Peter Francis of the Passion. St Peter for my home parish. St. Francis for my love of animals and the holy Passion to suffer for unsaved souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSoror Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I haven't thought about it much because I feel called to an order that doesn't have titles... and it turns out that I would end up putting a lot of thought into it! I can't narrow down a few stabs at it. Hmm... I'll go with "of the Sacred Heart" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awyers Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 It's funny you asked this. I have been thinking about this for a while and I just came home from a great evening of exposition and adoration, a rare treat at my church. I have always had a powerful attraction to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. I cant really explain it but tonight I felt overwhelmed by the notion of having that included in my religious name That said I always loved the idea of the community or mother etc discerning a name for you through prayer!

TheresaMF Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) The monastery I'm considering entering uses titles. In fact a lot of the sisters are just "Sr. Mary of ------------" so you [i]have [/i]to use the title to tell them apart! I don't have any particular name or title picked out--I'll just live devoutly and be open to the Lord's guidance when the time comes. In fact I really like the idea of just being Sr. Mary of Whatever (you know what I mean). I like the simplicity. (Although one of the deceased sisters was Sr. Mary Hyacinth, which is a [i]gorgeous [/i]name.) Edited June 20, 2006 by TheresaMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srmarymichael Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 This is not new. "St. Teresa of Jesus" (Avila) "St. Theresa of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face" It's called a predicate. Here's mine: "Sr. Mary Michael of Jesus and the Beloved Disciple" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memory-singer Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 The community I'm discerning with doesn't use titles, but if they did, I would ask for "of Our Lady of the Angels," since it was through EWTN and Mother Angelica that I discovered the Church and my vocation. Isn't life grand? Channel surfing to Jesus. Dare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlterDominicus Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 AGREED! Though I think SMC in Summit may be a little jealous not to have Beloved Disciple after her title, hahaha *wink* JK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she_who_is_not Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 of the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Sacred Heart or of the Holy Family and the Child Jesus, (my childhood devotion) By the by, I always liked Sr. Laurens idea for a title Of the Precious Feet of Jesus I guess we'll have to wait and see what she gets!

[/quote] Thank you! Guess what? When we made Final Vows, they allowed us to put something inside of our rings. Mine says, "My Beloved". Cool, huh? They also melted my Mom's Wedding Ring and a Sister's (that had passed away) old ring to make my Final Vow ring.
