1) Catholic 101: Father Edward Looney writes why we celebrate the Holy Name of Jesus: “The name of Jesus was first spoken by an angel and is the cause of adoration by the heavenly court. Jesus' name is reverenced especially during Holy Mass, as the General Instruction of the Roman Missal instructs the Priest to bow his head at the mention of Jesus’ Name.”
