Quote/s of the Day – 2 January – “Month of the Most Holy Name of Jesus”
“And this is his commandment,
that we should believe
in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ … ”
1 John 3:23
“Nothing so curbs the onset of anger,
so allays the upsurge of pride.
It cures the wound of envy,
controls unbridled extravagance
and quenches the flame of lust.
It cools the thirst of covetousness
and banishes the itch of unclean desire…
For when I Name Jesus,
I set before myself,
a Man Who is meek and humble of heart,
kind, prudent, chaste, merciful,
flawlessly upright and holy
in the eyes of all
and this same Man is the all-powerful God
Whose way of life heals me,
Whose support is my strength.”
St Bernard (1090-1153)
Mellifluous Doctor of the Church
(Sermon 15 On the Song of Songs)
“Was it not through the brilliance
and sweet savour of this Name,
that God called us into
His marvellous Light?”
St Bernardine of Siena (1380-1444)
“If thou art bound down by sickness,
if sorrows weary thee,
if thou art trembling with fear,
invoke the name of Jesus.”
St Lawrence Justinian (1381-1456)
