Feast of The Most Holy Name of Jesus

Today the Church honors the name of Jesus.

"That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth" (Phil., ii, 10). His name is not a magical incantation but the very mention of His name calls to mine the tremendous blessings we have received from the Savior of the world.

“Glorious name, gracious name, name of love and of power! Through you sins are forgiven, through you enemies are vanquished, through you the sick are freed from their illness, through you those suffering in trials are made strong and cheerful. You bring honor to those who believe, you teach those who preach, you give strength to the toiler, you sustain the weary” (St. Bernardine of Siena)
