St. Bernadine of Sienna’s Devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus

n the Feast of St. Bernardine of Siena, Fr. Miguel reflects on this great Franciscan preacher who spread fervent devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus throughout Italy.There is power in the Name of Jesus — the Church heals the sick, casts out demons, and celebrates every sacrament in His Name. As St. Bernardine boldly proclaimed, there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved.Fr. Miguel also marks the anniversary of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery (founded on this day in 1962), reminding us that both the monastery and our own Christian lives depend on the Holy Name of Jesus for fruitfulness and faithfulness.A powerful call to invoke the Name of Jesus with greater love, reverence, and confidence — for protection, deliverance, and the grace to live holy lives.St. Bernardine of Siena, pray for us!Jesus, have mercy on us.
