“He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross. For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names: That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth: And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:8
“O God, Who didst constitute Thine only-begotten Son the Savior of mankind, and didst bid Him to be called Jesus: mercifully grant, that we who venerate His holy Name of earth, may fully enjoy also the vision of Him in heaven.”

Most Holy Name of Jesus + Scripture and Prayers ~ PDF Printable
We are in the second month now of what we call here, at Nomen Christi Apostolate, the Christological Triad of the Months, mirroring the Marian Triad of the Months beginning in summer. December was the Month of the Divine Infancy, this is the Month of the Holy Name and February is the Month of Our Lord’s Passion. We encourage a meditation upon the Person and life of our Blessed Lord. These 3 months bring us from His birth to His death on the Cross for our salvation. And this month, we consider the significance of the Name of Jesus Christ and what it tells us about Him, and what it demands of His children. Please feel free to email us with any insights and we may post them. This idea is unique to this ministry and has no ecclesiastical recognition as of yet.
The March for Life in Washington DC continues, even with the blessing of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. The event is on Friday, January 24th. If you cannot attend the March, please consider attending a local pro-life witness. According to 2023 Guttmacher Institute statistics, 2,813 unborn children are killed each day in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. May God look upon the United States with mercy at this very concerning time. Please note, as indicated below, like every Friday, penance is still required in the USA on January 22nd (according to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter).
Here are a few notable feasts of January…please think about attending Holy Mass or saying related prayers, etc, as a family…
12th-Holy Family
12th/13th-Baptism of Our Lord
22nd-Anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, Day of Prayer & Penance for the Unborn (USA only, penance required)
