"If you think the name 'Jesus' continually,
it purges your sin and kindles your heart;
it clarifies your soul, it removes anger
and does away with slowness.
It wounds in love and fulfills charity.
It chases the devil and puts out dread.
It opens heaven, and makes you a contemplative.
It puts all vices and phantoms out from the lover."

January is dedicated to the Most Holy Name of Jesus. The Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus is celebrated on January 2 (except it wasn’t because yesterday was a Sunday).

Wow--there's one I didn't know. (among many OTHERS that I don't know or am yet to discover.)
Happiest of New Years to you, ma'am. It's good to 'see' you again. :-)
