Monthly Devotion: The Most Holy Name of Jesus

​"At that time, after eight days were accomplished,
that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS,
​which was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb."
- Luke 2:21 

Prayer in Honor of the Most Holy and Adorable Name of Jesus

Name of Jesus! Sweet Name! Delightful Name! Consoling Name! For what else is Jesus than Savior!
​
Therefore, O Jesus, for Thy sweet Name's sake, be to me a Jesus, and save me. Suffer me not to be eternally lost.

O good Jesus! Let not my iniquities destroy me, whom Thy bounty made.

O sweet Jesus! Recognize in me what is Thine, and efface all that is not Thine.

O sweet Jesus! Show mercy now in the time of mercy, and condemn me not in the day of justice.

What profit to Thy Precious Blood, or what honor will my destruction give Thy Holy Name, O Jesus!

"The dead shall not praise Thee, O Lord Jesus! Nor all they that go down to Hell."

Most amiable Jesus! Most meek, most loving Jesus! O Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Admit me to the number of Thy elect.

O Jesus, salvation of those who believe in Thee! Comfort of those who fly to Thee!

O Jesus, Son of the Virgin Mary! Give me grace, wisdom, charity, purity, and humility,
that I may love Thee perfectly, praise Thee, enjoy Thee, serve Thee, and be glorified in Thee, with all those who call upon Thy Name,

Thy Holy Name, Thy Sweet name - Jesus. Amen.

He is come who, His Mother, calls Jesus

 God, who founded the salvation of the human race on the Incarnation of your Word,
give your peoples the mercy they implore, so that all may know there is no other name
to be invoked but the Name of your Only Begotten Son.
​Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
