This feast is also celebrated on January 3. Here is an explanation of the devotion. Since the 16th century Catholic piety has associated entire months to special devotions. The devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus has been traditionally associated with the month of January, due to its celebration on January 3. The name Jesus was given to the Holy Child at God's command (Luke 1:31). Hence St. Paul was able to write to the Philippians: ". at the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth" (Phil. 2:10). By means of this devotion we also make amends for improper use of the Holy Name. NOVENA IN HONOR OF THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS O Merciful Jesus, Who didst in Thy early infancy commence Thy office of Savior by shedding Thy Precious Blood, and assuming for us that name which is above all names; we thank Thee for such early proofs of Thine infinite love. We venerate Thy sacred name, in union with the profound respect of the Angel who first announced it to the earth, and unite our affections to the sentiments of tender devotion which the adorable name of Jesus has in all ages enkindled in the hearts of Thy Saints. Animated with a firm faith in Thy unerring word, and penetrated with confidence in Thy mercy, we now most humbly remind Thee of the promise Thou hast made, that where two or three should assemble in Thy name, Thou Thyself wouldst be in the midst of them. Come, then, into the midst of us, most amiable Jesus, for it is in Thy sacred name we are here assembled; come into our hearts, that we may be governed by Thy holy spirit; mercifully grant us, through that adorable name, which is the joy of Heaven, the terror of Hell, the consolation of the afflicted, and the solid ground of our unlimited confidence, all the petitions we make in this novena. Oh! blessed Mother of our Redeemer! Who didst participate so sensibly in the sufferings of thy dear Son when He shed His Sacred Blood and assumed for us the name of Jesus, obtain for us,through that adorable name, the favors we petition in this novena. Beg also, that the most ardent love may imprint on our hearts that sacred name, that it may be always in our minds and frequently on our lips; that it may be our defense and our refuge in the temptations and trials of life, and our consolation and support in the hour of death. Amen.

  • Most Holy Name of Jesus
    Most Holy Name of Jesus SAINT OF THE DAY 03-01-2021 "Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it." The words of Our Lord in John's Gospel stress the importance of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, actually venerated from the earliest centuries of Christianity, as attested by the various Christograms (those combinations of Greek or Latin letters of the alphabet to form acronyms of the name of Christ) found in early Christian art. The liturgical cult of the Name of Jesus, however, would only take root between the 15th and 16th centuries. The sacredness surrounding the name of Jesus, which means "God saves", a name imposed on him by Mary and Joseph after the command they had individually received from the angel, is grafted into God's gradual revelation to Israel unfolding throughout the Old Testament. Here the name seems to be the core of God's pedagogy to make Himself known to men and lead them to Himself. In the theophany of the burning bush (Ex 3: 1-15) the hidden God of the Old Testament reveals Himself as "I am he who I am", thus answering Moses' question of what name he would have to report to the Israelites in order to be obeyed, and so that he could free them from the slavery of Egypt. That name ­–­ enclosed in the sacred tetragrammaton YHWH, which many Jews do not pronounce, and expressed by the title of Lord (Adonai) ­­– communicates that "God is the fullness of Being and of every perfection, without origin and without end" ( Catechism of the Catholic Church, 213); it also communicates God's faithfulness to His promise, to be fulfilled with Jesus Crucified and expressed in the prophecy pronounced before the Passion: "When you have exalted the Son of man, then you will know that I am" (Jn 8:28).

Quinlan Knowing about Jesus’ debate with the Pharisees helps us to Pastor understand today’s Gospel. In fact the story heightens the surprise and shock we feel as we hear Jesus’ exchange with the Canaanite woman. The Reverend Matthew E. Cannon woman, who is not Jewish, approaches Jesus, requesting that he heal her Parochial Vicar demon-possessed daughter. At first Jesus ignores her; he says nothing. The disciples ask Jesus to send her away, and Jesus agrees, remarking that he Deacon Joseph J. Wrabel was sent to minister to the Jews alone. Permanent Deacon The woman persists, paying homage to Jesus, and yet Jesus denies her request again. He even insults her, using a Jewish word of derision for Deacon Jerome T. Foerster Gentiles, “dog.” But the woman cleverly turns Jesus’ insult into an affirmation Permanent Deacon of faith. Only then does Jesus grant her request and heal her daughter.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph please make haste to help us! + + + Jesus, Mary, Joseph + + + From the book - Sermons of the Cure of Ars – St. John Mary Vianney THE GLORY AND THE POWER OF THE HOLY NAME. “He humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross. For which cause God also hath exalted Him, and hath given Him a name which is above all names.”— Phil. ii. 8-9. Dearly beloved in the Lord! On this Sunday we celebrate in an especial manner the festival in honor of the Holy Name of Jesus, that Name which is, for every Christian, the noblest and dearest, the holiest and the most consoling. By honoring and loving the Name of our Saviour, we show our respect and love for Him who bears this blessed Name. In this sense we honor and praise the names of the Saints whose memory will never die, but will always be honored by God and men; we think with joy of their exalted and heroic virtues, their living and steadfast faith, their self-sacrificing love for their neighbor, their untiring zeal to help their fellow men to that true happiness and salvation which comes from God alone—yes, truly the names of the Saints, and, above all, that of the Queen of Saints, and the names of all God’s elect, are dear to us, and we pronounce them with reverence and love; indeed, it would be a sin not to do so.

With the revisions of Vatican II, the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus was removed from the liturgical calendar. However, in 2002, Pope John Paul II restored the celebration of this feast, dedicating January 3rd the day of memorial. https://canningliturgicalarts.com/blog/signs-symbols-the-holy-name-of-jesus/ 2/6 3/12/2020 Signs & Symbols: The Holy Name of Jesus | Canning Liturgical Arts Signs & Symbols IHS is a “Christogram,” an ancient way of writing the name of Jesus, a kind of abbreviation of the name comprised of the first three letters of the name Jesus in Greek. The full name in Greek is ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, in the Latin alphabet the letter Σ(sigma) is represented as an “S,” thus IHS. Devotion to the holy name of Jesus was promoted through the IHS monogram by St. Bernardine of Siena and his student St. John of Capistrano in the 15th century. In 1427 Pope Martin V approved veneration of this symbol. 100 years later, Saint Ignatius adopted this symbol to represent the Society of Jesus.

It is a day of transformation – the disciples were huddled together in fear of the authorities and once the Holy Spirit descended upon them, they were transformed into zealous apostles upon whom the foundation of the Church was built. Pentecost was originally a Jewish feast celebrated 50 days after the Passover as a day of thanksgiving on which the people brought the first fruits of the harvest as a profession of their faith in God. For Catholics, the feast Pentecost is celebrated 50 days after East- er. It is often referred to as the birthday of the Church when the Good News began to be preached to the ends of the world.

  • Display the Emblem on Your Front Door Against the Coronavirus
    Display the Emblem on your front door against the coronavirus: Blessed Emblems are available in the vestibules of St. Wenceslaus and Ss. Cyril and Methodius Churches. The emblems are blessed and eant to be posted on the front door of your home to ward off the darkness of the coronavirus. Our Faith bears great things to us in times of trouble! I am always amazed by the greatness of our faith. The St. Raphael Ministry has made available something of this great magnitude to avoid the coming of the coronavirus upon us. (Fr. Scott, a priest from the Archdiocese of Omaha has approved the following information.) The actual page that you put on your front door is available in the vestibule of St. Wenceslaus, or Ss Cyril and Methodius. They are laminated to be water proof. Take one home with you from the vestibule of Church. The following is an explanation of this spirituality. I believe it is solid. (I will bless these emblems before they are placed in the vestibules. I believe that there is a dark component to this coronavirus.) This sacred emblem is placed on the doors of houses for protection against the plague. It is an ancient indulgence practice linked to The Most Holy Name of Jesus. The main devotions are illustrated in this figure: to the Most Holy Trinity, to Mary Most Holy, to St. Joseph, to the Sacred Heart and to the Immaculate Heart, to the Holy Rosary and to the Chair of St. Peter. The use of sacred images is not superstition, but based on our Catholic faith.

Larry I’ll begin by extending many, many thanks to Fr. Keeney for saying all of the Masses (including all five weekend Masses) since last Tuesday. Things are beginning to become more normal now. Our staff member who tested positive for COVID 19 continues to recover at home. The rest of the staff is healthy with no symptoms. Fr. Emmanuel and I, who are both symptom-free and fully vaccinated, will be presiding at Masses and devo- tions. In accordance with Diocesan guidance, the Rectory office will continue to operate via phone or e-mail un- til it re-opens on Monday morning, March 8. I’m residing in the Rectory and, as always, am available to respond at all times. Thank you all for your understanding.
