"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. (John 1.1 / 1.14)

"Those who repeat frequently the Name of Jesus feel a great peace in their soul, 'that peace which the world cannot give,' which God alone gives, a peace 'that surpasses all understanding.' (Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, O.P.)

"In the Name of Jesus every knee shall bend in Heaven, on Earth and in Hell." (Phil 2.10)

"All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ..." (Col 3.17)

THE DEVIL AND THE NAME OF JESUS

The great, great evil, the great danger that threatens each of us every day and every night of our lives, is the devil.

St. Peter and St. Paul warn us in the strongest language to beware of the devil, for he is using all his tremendous power, his mighty intelligence to ruin us, to harm, to hurt us in every way. There is no danger, no enemy in the world we have to fear as we should fear the devil.

He cannot attack God, so he turns all his implacable hatred and malice against us.

We are destined to take the thrones he and the other Bad Angels have lost. This lashes him into wild fury against us. Many foolish, ignorant Catholics never think of this; they take no care to defend themselves and thus allow the devil to inflict on them infinite harm and cause them untold sufferings.

Our best, our easiest remedy is the Name of Jesus. It drives the devil flying from our sides and saves us from countless evils.

Oh, Dear Readers, say constantly this all-powerful Name and the devil can do you no harm. Say it in all dangers, in all temptations. Wake up if you have been asleep. Open your eyes to the terrible enemy who is ever seeking your ruin.

Priests should preach frequently on this all-important subject. They should warn their penitents in the confessional against the devil. They counsel people to avoid bad companions, who make them lead bad lives. Incomparably more dreadful is the influence of the devil on them.

Teachers, catechists and mothers should constantly warn their children against the devil.

All their efforts will be only too little!
(Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, O.P., THE WONDERS OF HIS HOLY NAME)

  • ♥thank you john. i went throught the whole 8 min of it. this is more relaxing, more helpful and most importantly, more powerful!

    i used to chant some buddhist mantras before for peace and that of avalokiteshvara'a for compassion but thanks to you for reminding me one again that there's nothing more powerful a mantra than that of the Lord Jesus Christ as He encompasses all of those---love, peace, and compassion. ♥

    BLESS YOU my dear friend!

  • @832existentialiste Thank you, Anne. Meditating on The Word is like meditating on the creation of the universe. Jesus is the Word, and though Him all things were made. How incredible is that?!

  • @BoldRadish

    VERY INCREDIBLE! :)

    "...and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." (Jn 1.14)

    may the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ rest upon you you always my friend!

    i have made this a favorite.♥

  • @832existentialiste You are too kind. God bless you!
