The Baptism of the Lord
THE MOST HOLY NAME OF JESUS
Dear Parishioners of Our Beloved St. Paul:
Praised be Jesus Christ and Mary His Most Holy Mother! Many are aware that the Month of January is the
month of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. In fact the feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus is kept on January 3rd
each year. The Feast gives the character to the entire month.
What’s in a name? Thus did Juliet wonder in Shakespeare’s famous play. Perhaps some of us have even asked
that ourselves. We know what is meant by that expression. Generally it means that names are not that
important. And yet our faith tells us that names are indeed important.
But we know that names are very important. Think, if you will, of the poor and devoted husband whose wife
has had a stroke and who will never hear her utter his name again. Think of the poor mother whose child is
getting older and who has not yet said mama. Perhaps she has brought the baby to the doctor who, after
testing, discovers that the child has a hearing problem and that perhaps she will never hear the child utter her
name or any other name for that matter. These are two examples of individuals who understand the
importance of names. And think of a young man and woman who are first keeping company. The very name
of their beloved thrills them. Yes, names are important.
What a joy then for us to realize that when God became a man, he had a name, Jesus. The very name Jesus
means Savior. It is the name that is so powerful that it is used in all the sacraments of the Church. We pray,
Our help is in the Name who made heaven and earth. In fact we should try to do everything in the name of the
Lord. It is the name which the angel told to St. Joseph and it was St. Joseph who had the great privilege to
bestow the Holy Name upon Our Lord.
We should have only the greatest reverence for the name of Our Lord. We should bow our head when either
saying or hearing His name. In the church’s Liturgy the priest bows his head at the name of Our Lord, Our
Blessed Mother, the Patron Saint of the parish Church (in our case St. Paul), his own patron saint, the patron
saint of the diocese (in our case St. Agnes) and the saint whose feast is being celebrated. In fact, there is a
tradition to use the phrase Our Lord in place of the Sacred Name Jesus so that we do not use the name lightly
or carelessly. In the Old Testament, the Chosen People would never use the name of God nor would the write
it. Even today, among many pious Jews, they write G-D instead of GOD out of respect for the divine name.
(continued on next page)
Page 4 January 12, 2014
Out of respect for the Sacred Name we should never use Our Lord’s name as a curse or as an expression. How
sad to hear the name of God used in an expression, sometimes even by young children who have not even
begun to read or write. We should only use Our Lord’s name in a reverential way and in prayer. It is the same
spirit of reverence that teaches us to try to make the Church a place of quiet so that a spirit of prayer permeates
the whole building. When the English martyrs were being cruelly tortured for our Catholic faith, the Divine
Name gave them strength and courage. They would utter a beautiful aspiration that perhaps we, too, could
memorize. It is (in Medieval English) Jesu, Jesu, always be Jesus to me! In Latin the prayer is: Iesu, Iesu, esto
mihi semper Iesus!
Blessed be God! Blessed be His Holy Name! Yes, dear friends let us always use the Most Holy Name of Jesus
with love and with reverence. May that name be our strength and salvation.
All Saints Regional Catholic School: Perhaps some of you have seen the adver tisement in our bulletin
about the Headmaster’s Ball on February 1, 2014, at the Glen Cove Mansion. Some of you may know that the
two parishes in Glen Cove are staffed by the priests from the Augustinian Canons whose motherhouse is in
Vienna. (The priest themselves are all Americans – Fr. Daniel grew up in Wantagh, Fr. Elias grew up in
Syosset, and Father Gabriel grew up in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin). I have known the canons for many years and
used to assist them at their parishes in Glen Cove (St. Patrick and St. Rocco). They are close friends of mine
and have assisted us here at St. Paul’s. I would encourage as many of our parishioners as possible to attend this
Ball which is the major fundraiser for the Catholic School in Glen Cove.
I am somewhat embarrassed to write that this year I will be the honoree at the Ball. The canons had asked me
to accept this invitation, and I did so only in the hope that I could assist them in their fundraising efforts for the
school. May I ask you then to consider taking an ad in the journal that will be produced to mark the occasion
and to consider attending the Headmaster’s Ball. For information please call the telephone number that is in
the bulletin.
In closing may I extend sincere gratitude to all of you for your generosity to St. Paul’s. Your continued
support enables us to be that Light on the Hill to all who pass by.
Nos cum prole pia,
Benedicat Virgo Maria!
In Jesus and Marry,
Monsignor James F. Pereda
