The Holy Name of Jesus

In many cultures, certainly in the Hebrew culture, the name of a person is a description of the essence of his or her "essence."  The name, Jesus, means Savior, and certainly that's who he is.  We are familiar with the logo, IHS, which comes from the medieval spelling of Jesus, IHESUS, using the first two and last letters. There is power in that name.  Jesus promised, Whatever you ask in my name, I will do. (Jn 14:13).  It inspires reverence and awe:  At the name of Jesus, every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil 2:10-11).  ...there is no other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved. (Acts 4:12).  We often end our prayers, in Jesus' name.  Sometimes, when we can utter nothing else, the name of Jesus comes to mind and lip; it alone is enough to give us solace, or to drive away frustration or temptation.  It is a simple prayer we can use all day and simply by speaking it or thinking it, we remind ourselves that Jesus is with us, Jesus will help us no matter what we face.  May the holy name of Jesus be in our hearts and on our lips in a special way today, (and everyday henceforth) as we celebrate the Memorial of the Holy Name of Jesus.
