On January 2nd his year we celebrate the feast of the Holy Name of Jesus. Remember, this name is the ONLY name by which we may be saved. I still remember my mom telling me when I was a young boy and had a nightmare, that the remedy to such evil things was to call upon the Name of Our Lord. Say His Name with greatest love and most tender devotion. Call upon His Name when you are in distress and most importantly, when you are tempted to sin.
God saves.
Jesus is His holy Name.
The collect from the Mass:
“O God, Thou Who appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the Savior of the human race, and commanded that He be called Jesus, mercifully grant that we may enjoy in heaven the vision of Him Whose holy Name we venerate on earth.”
And since I have a love of this song and this group of choristers does a very good job interpreting it, we’ll overlook the fact that they’re, well, not Catholic.
