3rd January - The Most Holy Name of Jesus
Was it not through the brilliance and sweet savour of this Name, that God called us into His marvelous light? - Saint Bernardine of Siena.
The sweet Name of Jesus produces in us holy thoughts, fills the soul with noble sentiments, strengthens virtue, begets good works, and nourishes pure affection. All spiritual food leaves the soul dry, if it contain not that penetrating oil, the Name Jesus - Saint Bernard of Clairvaux.
