Novena to the Most Holy Name of Jesus

We have listened to and repeated the Holy Name of Jesus from childhood, but unfortunately, many, very many people do not have an adequate idea of the great wonders of this Holy Name!

What do you know about the Name of Jesus? You know that it is a Holy Name and that we must bow our heads with devout reverence when we pronounce it. But that is actually very little. It would be as if you looked at a closed book and only glanced at the title on the cover. As yet you know nothing of the beautiful passages written in the book itself. Similarly, when you merely pronounce the Name of Jesus, you have not yet recognized all the great and mystical treasures hidden in it.

This Divine Name is in reality a mine of wealth; it is the source of the highest holiness and the secret of the greatest happiness that man can hope to experience on this side of heaven. Read and see...

It is so powerful that it never fails and that it produces the most marvelous results in our souls. It consoles the saddest heart and strengthens the weakest sinner. It obtains for us all kinds of graces and favors, spiritual as well as temporal.

There are two things we must do. First of all, we must clearly understand the meaning and value of the Name of Jesus.

Secondly, we must accustom ourselves to say it devoutly and often, hundreds and hundreds of times every day. It will not be a burden at all, but an immense joy and consolation.

Say it with us, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!"
