Father Broom gives an inspirational homily on January 3rd – the new Feast Day of the Holy Name of Jesus. The official day of recognition may be new but the devotion is not new. St. Paul says that at the Name of Jesus every knee on the earth, below the earth, and above the earth must bend. St. Bernardine of Siena spread devotion to the Holy Name far and wide. St. Ignatius promoted reverence for this Name by the name of his community and by its famous symbol which is posted here.
The reverential speaking of the Name of Jesus is a prayer in itself.
Father Ed Broom OMV is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens California.
