One of the reasons why the Catholic Church sets aside January as the Month of the Holy Name of Jesus is because the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus falls on January 3. The feast, like the month, reminds us of the power of Christ's Name and encourages us to pray in His Name.
But what should we do when we hear His Name used casually or, worse yet, in a blasphemous way? Or if we ourselves even slip into such a habit?
In those cases, the Church has provided us with a powerful prayer, meant to be said before the Blessed Sacrament: An Act of Reparation for Blasphemies Uttered Against the Holy Name. It's not a prayer that you're likely to memorize, so you might want to print a copy to slip into your missal or prayerbook.
During this Month of the Holy Name, why not make the recitation of this Act of Reparation a part of your routine at Mass? It only takes a minute to say, and it makes a very good post-Communion prayer. If enough of us pray the Act of Reparation, perhaps we'll begin to hear the Name of Jesus treated with the reverence that It deserves.
