The Holy Name Of Jesus 2022
This day can also be called the feast of God’s friendship with man. It began to be celebrated in the fifth century but its origins reach back to the Old Testament when God first gave His Name of “Yahweh” which means “I am, Who Am” to Moses. The reverence towards this Name was such that it could only be spoken once a year by the high priest in the Holy of Holies. Once God became man He was given the Name of Jesus meaning Savior. Now we are encouraged to say God’s Name often and if done repeatedly on our deathbed St. Francis de Sales said we will have a peaceful death.
