earth and under the earth,Philippians 2 10.
Here Saint Paul professes whatthe saints lived, uttering his
name with faith and aweunleashes a torrent of grace
upon the world.
Throughout the Acts of theApostles, miracles flowed from
lips unafraid to proclaim JesusChrist.
(03:05):
In the streets of Jerusalem,Peter looked intently at the
paralyzed man and declared, Inthe name of Jesus Christ the
Nazorian, rise and walk.
Acts three, six.

John 14, 13.

Saints who invoke Jesus andunleash miracles.
When the saints called upon theholy name of Jesus, heaven
answered with miracles that haveechoed through the ages, their
lives erupt with the bold dramaof divine intervention, proof
(06:17):
that the power of the holy nameis not a pious afterthought, but
a living force that changeshistory, rescues souls, and
heals bodies.
Consider Saint Bernardine ofSienna, the apostle of the Holy
Name.
In a time of war and plague,Bernardine did not retreat.
He strode into chaos, holdinghigh a wooden tablet inscribed
(06:40):
with the blazing monogram IHS,symbol of Jesus' name.
Tumult yielded to peace, hatredmelted into brotherhood, and
even those hardened by sin brokedown weeping, compelled by the
invocation, Bernardine preached,The name of Jesus is light,
food, and medicine.
(07:01):
Miracles followed this holyboldness, healings, conversions,
and once, a town saved fromtotal destruction, after
Bernardine led citizens to chantthe name above all names.
Saint John of Capistrano, famedas the soldier saint, called on
the holy name of Jesus beforecharging into battle, not only
with swords but with prayer.
(07:23):
When thousands of enemiesthreatened to overwhelm,
Capistrano's rallying cry wasnot violence, but Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus.
Against impossible odds, victorywas won.
Testimonies from battlefieldsand sick beds alike attest at
the sound of Jesus' name, woundsclosed, dangers retreated,
(07:44):
demons fled.
Saint Francis of Assisi, aflamewith love for Christ, invoked
the name of Jesus ceaselessly,both in song and silence.
Witnesses recount moments whenFrancis, entranced by the name,
was transfigured, his faceradiant, his burdens lifted.
(08:07):
He once taught his friars, letevery tongue praise Jesus, his
name chases away every cloud,calms every storm, and launches
the soul straight into the heartof God.
These stories are not distantlegends, they are challenges and
invitations.
Christ himself proclaimed,Whatever you ask in my name I
(08:27):
will do that the Father may beglorified in the Son.
John fourteen, thirteen.
The saints took him at his wordand set the world ablaze with
unwavering trust in the holyname of Jesus.
They drew down healing,protection, and grace in their
own time, and now in this verymoment the name waits on your
(08:50):
lips.
Will you dare to call upon him?
Eucharistic wonders thatspotlight the name above all
names.
There is a name above all namesthat heaven trembles at, hell
fears, and creation bows beforethe holy name of Jesus
throughout church history.
Eucharistic miracles illuminatethe unending power and mercy
(09:13):
channeled through this name.
These wonders are not dryhistorical artifacts or
footnotes and dusty chronicles.
They are precise personalinvitations from Christ Himself
to come and see, taste, andbelieve.
In Lanciano, Italy, the sacredhost transformed before the eyes
of doubters into living fleshand blood, an event echoing
(09:34):
Christ's own promise, whoevereats my flesh and drinks my
blood abides in me and I in him.
John six fifty six The priestsand pilgrims who called upon the
holy name during moments ofconfusion and awe received
divine clarity.
This miracle, radiating acrosscenturies, emboldens the
(09:57):
faithful to speak the name ofJesus loudly, boldly,
reverently, especially at thealtar, the very sight of
heaven's descent.
Saints understood the unionbetween the Eucharist and the
Holy Name with blazing clarity.
Saint Bernardino of Siena, atireless preacher of the name,
(10:17):
testified that each time Jesusis spoken with trust and love,
walls of sin are torn down andhearts are set aflame.
At benediction, as incense risesand the host is raised, church
and angels unite in glorifyingthe one whose name is salvation
itself.
At the name of Jesus every kneeshould bend, in heaven and on
(10:42):
earth and under the earth.
Philippians two ten.
These Eucharistic wonders arecalls to action.
They summon us to approach thealtar with hearts ablaze,
invoking the holy name of Jesusnot only with lips but with
lives surrendered to him.
They beckon us to believe withthe saints that in every
consecrated host the Savior'sliving presence reaches, heals,
(11:06):
and transforms, if we onlywhisper his name with faith.
Mary's fiat and the holy name, aMarian path to Jesus.
In the hallowed silence ofNazareth, a young woman's gentle
yes, her fiat, reshapedeternity.
The angel Gabriel's words, youshall call his name Jesus
(11:27):
reverberated through Mary'ssoul, Luke 131.
Here, in her free, faith-filledconsent, the holy name of Jesus
first resounded on earth, a namepromised, a savior conceived, a
redemption begun.
Mary's path is the purest routeto the heart of her son.
The saints have known thesecret, Saint Louis de Montfort
(11:50):
declared to Jesus through Mary.
For every believer hungry fordeeper union with Christ, Mary
and devotion is not distractionbut singular focus.
Her fiat was a spiritual key,the opening of the door through
which salvation himself wouldenter the world, clothed in her
humanity, yet bearing the divinename.
(12:11):
To whisper the holy name ofJesus is to join Mary's
magnificate, praising the Godwho has done great things.
Her example is both invitationand challenge.
She did not shy away frommystery or from sacrifice.
At the foot of the cross, shebreathed the holy name with a
(12:31):
pierced heart but unwaveringloyalty.
Each Ave Maria becomes aprocession to the Eucharist
where the holy name is adoredand made present anew.
Let her fiat echo in your ownheart, call upon Jesus with
Mary's humility, courage, andhope.
As saints and mystics teach, thesurest path to Jesus is to utter
(12:53):
his holy name from lips andhearts steeped in Mary and
trust, seeking not our own will,but the kingdom of heaven.
Confession renewed by the mightyname, chains fall, grace flows.
There are moments when our soulsache under invisible burdens,
(13:14):
grudges, secret wounds, oldhabits, unspoken regret.
The world may call it guilt, butthe church names it what it is
bondage, yet how little werealize the power available to
us when we invoke the holy nameof Jesus in the sacrament of
reconciliation.
Have you truly tasted theliberating grace poured out
because his name is spoken withfaith upon contrite lips?
(13:36):
Scripture promises, if the Sonsets you free, you will be free
indeed.
John 8 36.
In the confessional, thispromise comes alive through the
priest acting in personaChristi, the mighty name that
drove out demons and gave hopeto the desperate still resounds,
and in that ancient humblesacrament, chains are shattered.
(13:59):
The saints themselves bearwitness.
Saint John VA, patron of parishpriests, urge penitents to throw
themselves upon the infinitemercy tied to Jesus' name,
teaching that the Lord'sgoodness is infinitely greater
than our malice.
Dare to believe it.
Every time his name ispronounced over your wounds, I
absolve you from your sins inthe name of the Father and of
(14:21):
the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
The floodgates of grace swingwide.
Sin's dark grip cannot serve.
(14:51):
In this age when many ignore orforget confession, now is the
urgent hour to return.
March to the confessional, letthe name be your banner, and
find those same ancient shacklesfalling at your feet.
For the believer devoted toheaven's goal, there is no more
powerful threshold of renewalthan hearing in awe the holy
(15:13):
name of Jesus sung over yourreturning heart, growing in
faith together, one heart, onemind, one spirit.
The journey toward holiness isnot a solitary trek, it is a
radiant procession.
The people of God moving withgrace-fueled courage as one body
in Christ.
When we invoke the holy name ofJesus, the walls separating us
(15:35):
from one another crumble, andour hearts are set aflame with
the fire of divine charity.
It is precisely through thissacred unity, a unity prayed for
by Christ Himself in John 17 21,that they may all be one, as
you, Father, are in me, and I inyou, that the church becomes a
(15:57):
beacon of hope to a fracturedworld.
Saints throughout the ages haveshown us that fidelity to Jesus'
holy name knits together thefaithful with bonds stronger
than death in moments ofpersecution and in ordinary
life, saints have called uponhis name and found not only
strength for themselves buttransformation for communities.
(16:20):
How many stories echo throughour Catholic heritage of whole
villages spared in times ofplague, of families reconciled,
of sinners repent repenting itat the simple word yet
thunderous invocation, you know,Jesus, but this is the very
heartbeat of Catholicfellowship, the Eucharist, the
(16:42):
source and summit of our faith,setting an unbreakable rhythm
for a community living in peacewith one heart and soul.
Acts four hundred thirty two.
When we gather in his name atmass, when we adore him present
in the tabernacle, graceoverflows, sculpting each soul
into living stones of hischurch.
(17:03):
United by his body and blood, weare called to act with loving
courage, with fierce fidelity.
We are charged to bear oneanother's burdens, to build
bridges where there are wounds,and to echo the name of Jesus in
our words, prayers, and actions.
Dare then with bold hearts topress onward together, let us
(17:25):
become living witnesses of thattransforming power flowing from
the holy name, trusting thesaints' example, supporting one
another as pilgrims, and neverlosing sight of the heavenly
goal, perfect union with Christand one another.
Now is the time for courageousfaith.
Live together, one heart, onemind, one spirit, joyfully
(17:47):
pressing toward eternity.
Teaching the little ones tocherish Jesus' name.
Imagine a home where Jesus isthe first word whispered at
sunrise and the last on the lipsbefore sleep.
It begins with the little ones,those curious eyes and open
hearts taking note of everygesture and word.
(18:09):
In the gospel, Jesus proclaims,Let the little children come to
me and do not hinder them, forthe kingdom of heaven belongs to
such as these.
Matthew 19 14.
What better way to honor thisthan by enshrining the holy name
of Jesus at the heart of theirdaily lives?
(18:30):
From the earliest years childrencrave meaning and wonder, teach
them that the name of Jesus isnot an empty phrase but a
powerful shield, a fountain ofmercy, and a key to heaven
itself.
Saints like Saint Bernardine ofSiena held high, the sacred
monogram IHS as a banner againstdarkness, urging all, especially
(18:52):
youth, to invoke Jesus' namewith reverence and confidence.
When children learn to call onJesus with love, even the
smallest act, tying shoes,greeting a friend, facing a fear
becomes a prayer.
Parents and teachers plant thisdevotion by making the holy name
the lifeblood of your family'sspiritual routine.
(19:13):
Pray simple litanies together orgently repeat, Jesus, I trust in
you with every worry or joy.
Encourage little hands to tracethe sign of the cross slowly and
intentionally whispering in thename of Jesus against fears, as
saints did in moments of trial.
Let their imagination soar withstories of miraculous healings
(19:34):
and victories granted throughhis name, the bread multiplied
by his blessing, the stormscalmed at his word, the demons
fled trembling from hispresence.
Scripture insists at the name ofJesus every knee should bow in
heaven and on earth and underthe earth.
Philippians 2 10.
Instill this awe, not as mereritual, but as holy wonder,
(19:56):
drawing your children closer tothe living God.
With every repetition, every actof childlike faith, Jesus
Himself promises to draw near,lighting their way with
Eucharistic grace and the lovingprotection of His Savior.
Sacred name.
Spiritual warfare 101,deliverance in the name of
(20:16):
Jesus.
The battlefield is real.
Every soul contends with anunseen enemy.
Demons tremble, andprincipalities recoil at a
single whisper of the holy nameof Jesus.
The earliest saints wereexplicit.
Nothing compares to invoking hisname for deliverance and
spiritual combat.
Saint Paul declared, At the nameof Jesus every knee should bow
(20:40):
in heaven and on earth and underthe earth.
Philippians 2 10.
This is not just poeticlanguage, it is a battle cry for
the faithful.
From the sands of the Colosseumto the Hermit's cave, saints
wielded the name of Jesus like ablazing sword.
Saint Anthony of Padua, facedwith demonic torments, called
(21:01):
upon the holy name and saw evilspirits vanish.
Saint John Viani broke chains ofoppression in the confessional
with this same name.
The church teaches thatspiritual warfare isn't reserved
for mystics and priests, it'sthe ordinary Catholic's daily
reality.
When tempted, when afflicted,when afraid, boldly proclaim
(21:24):
Jesus' name.
Forces of darkness retreat.

John 14, 13.

of the cross.
Deliverance is real.
The name of Jesus is yourshield.

At the altar, the mass issupreme invocation of the name
is step into the sanctuary andbehold the mystery.
(22:09):
Every Catholic Mass unfurls asthe planet's most profound act
of prayer, centered on the holyname of Jesus.
Let that truth burn in yourheart.
The liturgy, the mightiest workof the church, is a continual
invocation, a holy cry fromearth to heaven, offering
praise, supplication, andsacrifice through, with, and in
the name that is above everyother name.
(22:31):
Recall the words of Saint Paul.
Therefore God has highly exaltedhim and bestowed on him the name
which is above every name, thatat the name of Jesus every knee
should bow.
Philippians 2 9 to ten.
This is not mere poetry or piousexaggeration.
At every mass the holy name isspoken, sung, chanted,
(22:52):
whispered, adored, infused inevery prayer and declaration.
The priest and persona Christispeaks not with his own
authority, but through the nameand power of Jesus Himself.
Each through Christ our Lord,each in the name of Jesus is a
trumpet blast into the heavenlycourts, but this invocation is
(23:14):
not only for the clergy, layfaithful, kneeling, standing,
hearts ablaze, are called tocling to the holy name as their
hope, shield, and weapon.
The mystery of the Eucharist isintimately tied to the name.
This is my body.
This is my blood.
Jesus truly present dwells amongus at the altar.
(23:36):
In that moment all the saintsand angels bend low, reverencing
the name and the person itembodies.
Here the veil thins, prayers forhealing, for conversion, for
protection thunder upward,rippling out from the altar of
every corner perish.
Redemption itself isrepresented, the blood of the
lamb streaming out upon theworld, not a symbol, but
(23:58):
reality, because the name isinvoked with faith and awe, as
the faithful proclaim Lamb ofGod, or respond amen, in full
assent, the name of Jesusresounds from tongue to tongue,
uniting the church militant,suffering and triumphant.
Nothing rivals the altar wherethe holy name of Jesus is
(24:19):
spoken, and heaven bends near tolisten.
If you thirst for grace, if youlong to see miracles as the
saints did, draw near to themass with holy fear and daring
faith.
The name echoed there is thesame name before which demons
scatter, and where every soulwill find its victory.

When we speak the holy name ofJesus, the power to transform,
heal, and sanctify radiates farbeyond our own hearts.
It calls us to action.
The saints ablaze with love forChrist poured themselves out in
works of mercy, livingtestaments to the command.
Whatever you did for one of theleast of these brothers and
sisters of mine, you did for me,Matthew 25.
(25:06):
Look to Saint Vincent de Paul,whose entire life was reordered
around the poor after invokingthe holy name during his
conversion.
He founded homes for thedestitute, nursed abandoned
children, and transformed citiesnot through earthly riches, but
through a mercy flowing directlyfrom Jesus Himself.
Or consider Saint Martin dePorous, humble, unnoticed, yet
(25:29):
unshakably faithful, whocomforted the dying, healed the
sick, and shared his meagerbread, ceaselessly uttering the
name above all names.
In every age holy men and womenhave discovered that invoking
Jesus is not just a privatedevotion, but a daring summons
to manifest his love in works ofmercy, the corporal, like
(25:51):
feeding the hungry, thespiritual like consoling the
sorrowful.
The saints understood that theiracts of kindness were no mere
philanthropy, they wereextensions of the Lord's own
compassion, made present againand again as he promised.
Truly, truly, I say to you,whoever believes in me will also
do the works that I do, andgreater works than these will he
(26:15):
do.
John fourteen twelve.
When we perform a work of mercyin Jesus' name, we aren't only
aiding another's suffering, weare drawn deeper into the

offering, every sacrifice, everyword of comfort given in his
name becomes a radiant thread inthe tapestry of salvation
