| 0:20.4 | this is our two of the patrick madrid show and know the number, or if you don't number, know the number. Here it is. 888-914-9149-8-88-9149-149, sponsored by Catholic Order of Forresterers. And emails can go to Patrick at Relevantradio.com. Now, I was talking with you, D.D., in New York before the break, we kind of ran out of time. You were asking, first of all, again, congratulations. You're coming into the church. You're going to get confirmed. What a wonderful day that is, and we're all welcoming you with open arms. And you were wondering about confirmation names, and you would would ask me can you have more than one |
| 0:55.7 | the answer is yes it's a custom to have one but you can't have more than one if you wish and then |
| 1:01.5 | we got to the point about how would you use them and we kind of ran out of time where you were |
| 1:06.4 | asking about using them in lieu of your own name so do you want to kind of restate your question from |
| 1:12.1 | that point? Sure. Sure. Okay, so I thought that you actually got to change your name. Like, |
| 1:19.5 | I didn't know I would be using Dini plus the other name I was choosing. I thought I could use, |
| 1:25.3 | you know, choose another name just like Pope Francis chose a totally different name. You know what I mean? But that's. I thought I could use, you know, choose another name just like Pope Francis |
| 1:28.0 | chose a totally different name. You know what I mean? Right. But that's what I thought. |
| 1:31.8 | Okay. So let's start there. So no, that's not the custom. The custom is that you, when you choose |
| 1:37.0 | a saint, one or more, to be your special patron saints when you're confirmed. And that typically |
| 1:42.5 | is because you admire and want to emulate |
| 1:45.4 | something in that saint's life, some virtue or some heroic action or something like that. You want to |
| 1:50.4 | be like her or be like him. And you're also choosing this name as a way of saying, I really like you, |
| 1:56.6 | Saint so-and-so. And I'm asking you to kind of take me under your wing and pray for me, |
| 2:02.4 | et cetera. So that's the custom. It's never intended to replace your given name, your legal name. |
| 2:10.1 | And what I was saying about the legality of it, what I meant by that was if you were to buy a home |
| 2:15.4 | or take out a bank account and you have to fill out the paperwork, |
| 2:19.6 | you wouldn't use your confirmation name in that. |
| 2:22.8 | It doesn't have a legal character to it, but it's for you and your heart. |
| 2:27.5 | You know what I mean? |
