During a prayerful vigil one night in fourteenth-century England, the hermit Blessed Richard Rolle was disturbed by the sudden apparition of a demon. The frightened monk began to call out the Name of Jesus, and the demon immediately disappeared. Shaken by this apparition and dreading its reappearance, Blessed Richard spent the rest of the night repeating the Holy Name over and over until dawn. Thus was born his lifelong devotion to the Holy Name: “I appeal to you to love this name JESUS and meditate on it in your heart so that you never forget it wherever you are. And, assuredly, I promise you that you will find great joy and strength in it; and because of the love with which you love Jesus so tenderly and as such an intimate friend, you will be filled with grace on this earth...This is because nothing pleases God so much as true devotion to the name of Jesus.”
Our time has its own share of “demonic apparitions” — just read the headlines. So now is the perfect time to benefit from Blessed Richard’s example of taking refuge in the Holy Name of Jesus.
From apostolic times to the present day, Christians throughout the world have experienced for themselves the blessing, protection, and presence of Christ that can be found through repeated invocation of the Holy Name of Jesus. It has been the center of the spiritual lives of countless saints, and “is suitable for all people of God, without exception, whether monks or lay people. It is a safe way for beginners, that is open to all.” - Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov
“The Name of Jesus is the shortest, the easiest, and the most powerful of prayers. Everyone can say it, even in the midst of their daily work. God cannot refuse to hear it.” - Father Edward Sullivan, The Wonders of the Holy Name
