CALL UPON HIS HOLY NAME WITH TRUST


The Father never rejects anyone who prays to him in the name of his Son. It is not the name itself that is of special value, but what it stands for; the name of Jesus is all-powerful because it designates the mystery, the power and the mission of the Son of God who became man precisely to be the Saviour of the world.

To call upon his holy name with trust is to appeal to his incarnation, his passion and death, his resurrection; such a call is always heard because it rises up to God supported by the infinite merits of Jesus the Saviour.

- Fr Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen, OCD (as previously).
