Most Holy Name of Jesus
In a world of fiercely guarded corporate names and logos, it should be easy
to understand this feast. The letters IHS are an abbreviation of Jesous, the
Greek name for Jesus. For more, follow the link below:

Beloved, we are God's children now; what we shall be has not yet been
revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we
shall see him as he is. ~1 John 2:29-3:6
John testified further, saying, "I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from
the sky and remain upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to
baptize with water told me, 'On whomever you see the Spirit come down and
remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' Now I have
seen and testified that he is the Son of God." ~John 1:29-34

We can reverence the Holy Name of Jesus, Son of God. We can call upon Jesus
for the help we need in living a good life. We can make use of the gifts we
received on the day we were Baptized "In the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
.=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=.
I pray that I may revere Jesus Holy name, using it in appropriate
circumstances, but not in anger or frustration. I pray that I may follow in
the gentle footsteps of Jesus as I strive to live my Baptismal promises.

Brother and Sister ask prayers for someone who is dying, may she be at peace
as she draws ever nearer to the Lord. Bill asks for prayers of thanksgiving
to God as his brother died peacefully from terminal cancer. Amy asks
prayers for a special intention. Cathy asks prayers for a dear friend whose
cancer has returned for the third time.
Theresa asks prayers for her father who faces prostate cancer treatment and
for two daughters who face major life transitions. Anna asks prayers for
three intentions. Sue requests prayers for her neighbor who sustained a head
injury and is in intensive care. Patrick asks all to pray for his Mom, who
at 83, suffered and survived a heart attack on New Year's Eve in Cincinnati.
Rose asks prayers for her niece, who has suffered with a speech impairment
and continues to have difficulty communicating.
Brian asks for your prayer support for his dear friend whose mother just
passed into the God Loving Care in Iowa. KB asks prayers for a special
intention.
We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life. We
pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at
home. We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage
and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who
have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a
good day!
May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!
Father Pat
