The Most Holy Name of Jesus
Gospel – Luke 2:21-24
The life of Jesus is followed as prescribed by the law of Moses. But with the indications of the angel. So in this passage we can see that Mary and Joseph took the child to be named according their tradition. But the name they chose is the name given by the angel to Mary. We follow traditions but at the same time within the traditions, there is always space for grace. The name, “Jesus is a grace”. It reminds the kindness of God who wants to save us. It reminds of the mercy of God who want decided to save us from our sins. It reminds of the very action of God to save us. The more we love this name, the more we are close to this reality. It’s very important to pronounce this name, “Jesus”, as a source of grace and help. Let’s reflect: The name “Jesus” is a grace given to us in the person of Jesus Christ and we must make it echo in our heart always.
