That community is too big for all the sisters to know each other personally...[/quote] You said Sr. Maria Frassati was "thrilled to receive" the name...do the DSMME's select their own names (or ask for them) or does the leadership simply bestow them on the sisters? If it is not prying, may I ask what your name was and whether you liked it? Does a sister ever say, "oh, gad, I HATE my name!" Also, for Pier Giorgio fans out there: [url="http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/theanchoress/2009/04/06/pier-giorgio-frassati-updated/"]http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/theanchor...assati-updated/[/url] Also, while Bl. Pier Giorgio is good-looking, indeed, I don't know that I agree that St. Benedict was not good-looking. We don't actually know, but I've seen a few icons of the young Benedict that I thought were pretty attractive! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 It's a secret I can't disclose, but I'm sure many of you might know the process of the names... My name was Sr. Miriam and I was pleasantly surprised! But now, there's a "new" Sr. Miriam, and I was kinda crushed when I heard about that... I don't know if I ever thought St. Benedict was good looking, but I know St. Dominic certainly was!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: by the way, she's named after the religious sister who nursed my grandmother around my mother's birth!

I have always wondered why they did not have Pier Giorgio's body exposed in a glass casket like other relics. Dominican Soul, I am sorry that you were hurt to hear of another "Miriam" I can imagine that did scald a bit. But you're KILLING me. A secret process for names? I must know! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kavalamyself Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 [quote name='TeresaBenedicta' post='1888497' date='Jun 11 2009, 01:30 PM'] Oh man. I can't stop smiling! Soooooooooo, I go to Mass this morning, grudgingly dragging myself out of bed to make the morning Mass at my parish (all the noon Masses are a good 20/30 minutes away). I'm sitting in the second to last pew with one of my friends who will be entering the Poor Clares in a few weeks. Aaaand Mass starts, and out of the corner of my eye I see the graceful flow of something white enter the pew behind me. I recognized that habit immediately!!! A Dominican of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist!!! I could scarcely contain my excitement as I grinned to my friend beside me. And I got to talk with the Sister after Mass!!! And it was wonderful!!! And I am soooo full of joy right now!!! She's making her final vows on August 4th!!!! Apparentally she grew up going to the dominican parish about 1/2 hr from where I live, and she's out visiting her family, and one of her best friends goes to my parish! Wonderful!! God is good!!! I was just on their website last night!!! AND I dreamt about them. Hmm... Just thought I'd share my joy! [/quote] This is a true sign from God. I am going to continue reading your posts.

Noemi Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Dominicans... please, pray for my friend, she will invest (enter novitiate) in 7th August! I'm really curious about her as I will visit the Dominicans from 9th Aug till 14th Aug - then I'll go home (=Servite Nuns... For 10 days... ahh...)
