Encyclical news

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict has written his first encyclical, the highest form of papal writing addressed to all members of the Roman Catholic Church, a Vatican source said on Monday.
The source said the encyclical, which is expected to be published before the end of the year, deals with one's personal relationship with God.

The work is just under 50 pages long and will probably be published to coincide with the feast of the Immaculate Conception on Dec. 8, the source said.

Looking forward to it!

The Holy Name of Jesus

Litany of the Holy Name

Novena to the Holy Name

"Jesus, Name full of glory, grace, love and strength! You are the refuge of those who repent, our banner of warfare in this life, the medicine of souls, the comfort of those who mourn, the delight of those who believe, the light of those who preach the true faith, the wages of those who toil, the healing of the sick. To You our devotion aspires; by You our prayers are received; we delight in contemplating You. O Name of Jesus, You are the glory of all the saints for eternity. Amen.” - St. Bernardine of Siena

Praise the Lord!
Praise, O servants of the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name of the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore!
From the rising of the sun to its setting
the name of the Lord is to be praised!

-Psalm 113.1-3

ACT OF CONSECRATION
To You, Lord Jesus Christ, I consecrate myself today through Your Most Holy Name. I consecrate to You all my thoughts, words and deeds, all my sufferings and labors, all my hopes, consolations and joys. I consecrate to You my body with all its senses, my soul with all its faculties, my entire being without reserve. In particular I consecrate to You my heart so that it may love only You and may be consumed as a victim in the fire of Your divine love. Jesus, I place my trust in Your most Holy and Sacred Name. I beg for the remission of all my sins through Your infinite mercy. I place within Your hands all my cares and anxieties. Do with me what You will, my Jesus. Take this offering of myself and give me a place within Your Divine Heart forever. I promise to love You and honor You and to spread, as much as I can, devotion to Your most Holy Name, until I draw my dying breath. Amen.
