FEAST OF THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS

Missa "In nomine Jesu"


WHITE Vestments - Double of the Second Class Feast

Also see Haydock Commentary provided by John Gregory: No other Name

       Holy Mother Church reveals to us the greatness of His name. It was on the occasion of the rite of Circumcision that a name was given to children among Jews. So the Church uses the same Gospel as that of the Feast of the Circumcision, and dwells on the second part which tells us that "the Child was called Jesus" (Gospel), "as God had bid that He should be called" (Collect). This name means Saviour, for "there is no other name given to men whereby we must be saved" (Epistle).

       The origin of this feast is traced to the sixteenth century, when it was celebrated by the Franciscan Order. In 1721 the Church, under the rule of Pope Innocent XIII, made the keeping of this solemnity universal.

       If we wish "to rejoice at seeing that our names are written in heaven under that of Jesus" (Postcommunion), let it be often on our lips on earth. Twenty days' indulgence are granted to those who reverently bow their heads on pronouncing or on hearing pronounced the names of Jesus and Mary, and the holy Pope Saint Pius X granted three hundred days' Indulgence to those who invoke them piously with their lips or even in their heart. It is also a Traditional custom to always bow one's head slightly at the name of Jesus out of respect for His holy name.

        We want to thank the Friends of Our Lady of Fatima for expediting these resources of the Propers. Sources: Saint Andrew Daily Missal and the Marian Missal , 1945 Bio: Catholic Encyclopedia 1913 edition

      EPISTLE:   Acts of the Apostles 4: 8-12
      Lectio Actuum Apostolorum. In diebus illis: Petrus repletus Spiritu Sancto, dixit: Princepes populi et seniores, audite: Si nos hodie dijudicamur in benefacto hominis infirmi, in quo iste salvus factus est, notum sit omnibus vobis, et omni plebi Israel: quia in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Nazareni, Quem vos crucifixistis, Qum Deus suscitavit a mortuis, in hoc iste adstat coram vobis sanus. Hic est lapis, qui factus est in caput anguli: et non est in alio aliquo salus. Nec enim aliud nomen est sub Caelo datum hominibus, in quo oporteat nos salvos fieri.
      Deo Gratias.
      Lesson from the Epistle of the Acts of the Apostles. In those days: Peter filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people and ancients, hear: If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole, be it known to you all, and to all the people of IsraeI, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by Him this man standeth before you whole, This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner: neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
      Thanks be to God.
