The Wonders of the Holy Name

Must have read for the spiritual battles ahead of us.

This is an amazing little book. I haven't finished reading it because I am taking it slow. I am truly enjoying reading about the power in the Holy Name of Jesus. I have heard a song by that name on the KLOVE radio station that I really love but now connecting this little book to that song has really touched my heart! I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the power in His Most Holy Name. It stopped a plague in Lisbon, Portugal and a war, too. Amazing!

Short & Powerfull

Bought 40, 10 left in a church , 16 in stock 3 readers came back to me (friends) they feel very happy with the book and feel extremely peaceful when they continuously mention the Holy Name of Jesus. In my case it also touched my heart.

Used them for Adoration at church. Adorers are free to take one.

Inspiring, remarkable prayers

The power of the name, Jesus Christ, is historic. This classic booklet reminds readers of the many Graces received in calling His name. I read the booklet many years ago. With the terrific sale, I ordered copies for Catholic friends.

This was the third volume from Father Paul that I have read. I picked the first, was The Holy Ghost, Our Greatest Friend and the second The Wonders of the Mass. I picked up the first book because it was promoted by TAN books in an email blast. They were promoting a bundle of books by Father Paul O'Sullivan. I know I have seen the covers before. After reading the first one I picked up a few more. And this was the third volume I have read. The beginning of the description of this book is: “The Wonders of the Holy Name may well be the most valuable of all Fr. O'Sullivan’s very popular and soul-stirring books, for it reveals the simplest secret of holiness and happiness over. Scarcely one Catholic in a million has heard about the amazing power of the Holy Name of Jesus which the author explains here. He brings forth stories and quotes from Scripture, history and the lives of the Saints, showing the incredible efficacy of this Sacred Name and urging us to invoke it often — dozens of times, even hundreds of times each day!” And the chapters are: Letters of Approbation Letter from the Master General To the Reader 1. The Wonders of the Holy Name 2. What Does the Name of Jesus Mean? 3. The World in Danger Saved by the Holy Name 4. The Plague in Lisbon: The City Saved by the Holy Name 5. Genseric the Goth 6. D. Melchior Smiles at His Tormentors 7. The Saints and the Holy Name 8. The Doctrine of the Holy Name 9. We Can Ask for Everything in the Name of Jesus 10. The Devil and the Name of Jesus This is another great little volume. It is the third by Father Paul I have read and it will not be the last. The author in the section ‘To The Reader’ states: “Read this booklet slowly and with attention, not once, but many times, and you will thank God all the rest of your life. It will give you much happiness, and it will enable you to obtain from God wonderful graces and blessings. It teaches the wonders of the Holy Name of Jesus, which few Christians understand. The frequent repetition of this divine name will save you from much suffering and great dangers. The world is now threatened with the direst calamities. Each one of us can do much to save himself from the impending evils, and we can do much to help the world, the Church and our Holy Father the Pope, simply by repeating frequently, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.” (See page 3).” And that is exactly how I feel about the book. When I was in university, I was involved with Campus Crusade for Christ, there was a series of booklets by the founder Bill Bright, called Transferable Concepts, and by reading them many times you could almost memorize them and the message so that you could share it. This volume reminds me a lot of those books, but specifically geared for Catholics. And a quick look at some of his other titles look the same. The author states the same above in his letter to readers. I have a feeling that the books by Father Paul will be ones I return to time and time again for these very reasons. But even before that letter to the readers of the volume are three letters promoting and encouraging the use of the book. It is a fantastic little volume. Some of the sections I highlighted my first time through this volume are: “Two things we must do. First of all, we must understand clearly the meaning and value of the Name of Jesus. Secondly, we must get into the habit of saying it devoutly, frequently, hundreds and hundreds of times every day. Far from being a burden, it will be an immense joy and consolation.” “Each time we say, “Jesus,” we give God infinite joy and glory, for we offer Him all the infinite merits of the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ.” “Bear in mind that each time we say, “Jesus,” devoutly, 1) we give God great glory, 2) we receive great graces for ourselves, 3) and we help the souls in Purgatory.” “Every Christian must turn to God and ask Him to have mercy on us. The easiest of all prayers, as we have seen, is the Name of Jesus.” “The Name of Jesus is the shortest, the easiest and the most powerful of prayers. Everyone can say it, even in the midst of his daily work. God cannot refuse to hear it.” “Many people find it hard to sleep. They will find help and consolation by invoking in these sleepless moments the Holy Name, and very probably they will fall into a tranquil slumber.” ““Whatever you do in word or in work, do all in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.” He adds: Whether you eat or whether you drink, or whatever else you do, do all in the Name of Jesus.” As I hope can be seen by these samples from the book just how valuable it is. The book helps us realize the importance of the praying the name of Jesus. Helps us learn to draw in deeper in prayer. It is an excellent volume that any Catholic would benefit from reading.

Gave me a higher understand of the name of Jesus. Now I say it to myself always.

I wanted to honor my mom;s death. Had only $25 . Saw on TV Protestants tell about their experiences of the power of the name of JESUS. Wondered why never heard about it the Catholic Church.. Found the booklet on a free table at a meeting. Read it, decided I;d donate 5 to our local shrine. When I got to the end..for $25 POSTAGE I could get 500 booklets.!!!! Because someone had donated booklets if a person paid postage. God blessed me so was able to donate 1000 booklets. Our shrine has 100,000+ visitors from whole world in a year. Being homebound I was able to honor my mom n evangelize at the same time. Thrills me whenever I remember from 5 to 1000 PRAISE THE LORD;S GENEROSITY!!!

Beautiful book! Everyone should read this.

I wish every Catholic could/would read this book! I bought a bunch of these books to give to family and friends and have had a number of positive responses from people. This book explains why and how we can live the words from Philippians: "God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." These are beautiful words and yet, what do they mean and how do we live them? That is explained here! I love this book and have read it over and over again!!!
