(St. Bernardine of Siena, OFM Priest)
Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.” Jn_16:23b-28
The HOLY Name of Jesus! Respect it. Reverence it. Worship it. Honor it. And whenever we ask the Father anything, remember to reference His Son, Jesus, and as He tells us, it will be done!
“Dating all the way back to the third century, Christians shortened the name of Jesus by only writing the first three letters of his name in Greek, ΙΗΣ (from his full name ΙΗΣΟΥΣ). The Greek letter Σ (sigma), is written in the Latin alphabet as an “S,” resulting in the monogram being commonly represented as ΙΗS.” Aleteia
