Month of the Holy Name of Jesus – January 23

The Holy Name is something still greater! Each time we say “Jesus,” we give God infinite joy and glory, for we offer Him all infinite merits of the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ. St. Paul tells us that Jesus merited the name Jesus by His Passion and Death. Each time we say “Jesus,” let us clearly wish to offer God all the Masses being said all over the world for all our intentions. We thus share in these thousands of Masses. Each time we say “Jesus” we gain indulgences for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, thus relieving and liberating very many of these holy souls from the awful pains. Thus they may be our best friends and pray for us…they cannot pray for themselves.
