In the year 1274 great evils threatened the world, the people were called to pray, invoking the Holy Name of Jesus.

Their efforts were crowned with success so that the enemies of the Church were overthrown, the dangers that threatened society disappeared and peace once more reigned supreme.

This is a most important lesson for us because…, in these our own days, dreadful sufferings are crushing many countries, and still greater evils threaten all the others. There is but one remedy, and that is prayer.

Every Christian must turn to God and ask Him to have mercy on us. The easiest of all prayers, as we have seen, is the Name of Jesus… Jesus… Jesus…

Everyone without exception can invoke this holy name hundred of times a day, not only for his own intentions, but also to ask God to deliver the world from impending ruin. This is a powerful little book: Fr. Paul O’Sullivan’s “The Wonders of The Holy Name”

As I watched this video, I thought, what Fr Mike was showing us, in keeping a journal is really a strong tool to continue even after Lent is over.  There is something about writing that makes a strong connection from the mind to the heart and thus makes an  imprint in our prayer life… to be able to go back over the days and weeks, seeing God’s hand in our lives can only increase our faith.

I woke up the other morning saying this prayer and it has now become a prayer mantra for me…

“Glory be to God in the highest and peace to His children on earth.”

Blessings n’ Peace,
