The Holy Name of Jesus

So, the coat of arms in my archdiocese is epic. It shows a phoenix, which is a symbol of resurrection. And on the chest of the phoenix is the IHS, which is the holy name of Jesus. And so, in the first reading for this Sunday, Saint Peter, our first pope, heals a man by the holy name of Jesus. He can heal because of his name because Jesus’ name is mighty. In the Old Testament, God’s name was a symbol of his power and his presence.

And so every time we say the name of Jesus, we are reminded that it is powerful and that he is present to us. Often, we don’t know how to pray, and all we have to do, from the depths of our hearts, is say his name, Jesus. So the next time it’s really hard to pray from the depths of your heart, you can say, “Jesus.” That’s enough. This is Spirit Juice, peace.
