September 21, 2013 – Catechism 2663 – 2672

Just saying the name Jesus in a humble way can be the simplest and very powerful way to pray. I think because it is only saying one word, it can be overlooked. I think it can also be a very easy prayer to violate by simply saying the name Jesus when it is not a prayer. It is a powerful name, The Name. Jews weren’t even allowed to say the name of God because it was sacred. We are allowed to speak the name because He came became human. It is a similar reason that we are now allowed to express Him in art because He has made Himself available. If you have never tried it, just say the name Jesus, slowly and deliberately, repeat it, and again.
