January is the Month of The Holy Name of Jesus

Prayers to the Holy Name of Jesus

O good Jesu, according to Thy great mercy, have mercy on me. O most merciful Jesu, by that Precious Blood which Thou didst will to shed for sinners, I beseech Thee to wash away all my iniquities and to look graciously upon me, a poor and unworthy sinner, as I call upon Thy holy Name. Therefore, O Jesus, do Thou save me for Thy holy Name's sake. Amen

Jesu Dulcis Memoria

Jesus, the very thought of Thee with sweetness fills my breast, But sweeter far Thy face to see and in Thy presence rest.

Nor voice can sing nor heart can frame, Nor can the memory find a sweeter sound than Thy blest name, O Savior of mankind.

O hope of every contrite heart, O joy of all the meek to those who fall, how kind Thou art, how good to those who seek!

But what to those who find? Ah this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is none but His loved ones know.

Jesus our only joy be Thou as Thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be Thou our glory now and through eternity. Amen
