What does it mean to speak the Holy Name of Jesus? In this reflection, Fr. Cuddy unfolds the depth of St. Paul’s words in Philippians 2—that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bend and every tongue confess. Far from being a mere title or sound, the name of Jesus is bound inextricably to the divine person of Christ Himself. Fr. Cuddy explores how names and words participate in reality, and how the Holy Name, above all others, becomes a sacramental presence of our Savior. He also offers a moving reflection on the Jesus Prayer as a path toward holiness—a simple, powerful rhythm of communion with Christ in everyday life.
