I am not sure if the nuns, sisters, or friars do this [since I have not corresponded with any] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Maybe it stands for their lastname. Whatever the surname of the Holy Family was.. I forget.. Jesus, Mary and Joseph Turner? Except I realize their surname wasn't Turner.. Gosh.. what was it? j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan1104 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Mr. Wilson: T is definitely for Saint Teresa of Avila. I have asked my local Discalced Carmelite Nuns about this, and have corresponded with many Carmelite communities, and they all normally place "J.M. + J.T." at the top of the letter/message. Also the "D" in "J.M. + J.D." or "Ave +D Maria," or simply "+D" is for St. Dominic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan1104 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Actually His full Name was/is Yeshua bar Yousef. [quote name='OLAM Dad' post='1027374' date='Jul 19 2006, 08:00 PM'] Everybody knows that Jesus' last name is Christ! [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] that would be funny because lots of times people just refer to Jesus as Christ. The reason I find the thought amusing is because it's like how dudes on a football team or in the military or something often call each other by their last name.

Laudate_Dominum Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 ok, seriously, I've known the answer all along so I feel mean. It stands for Teresa as in St. Teresa of Avila. How do I know? Because I've read the letters of certain sants who were discalced carmelites and sometimes they write JMJT, whereas other times they write the whole thing out. And it can't be St. Therese because even St. Therese does this in some of her letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
