January, Month of Holy Name of Jesus

January , according to Catholic tradition is the month dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus. There are many ways we can honour the Holy name of Jesus. First and foremost is the Jesus Prayer : 
"Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."
 We can repeat this short prayer so many times all through our days and even at night.Another such short prayer is the Invocation of the Holy name of Jesus:
Blessed be the Most Holy Name of Jesus without end!

Prayer of Petition in the Holy Name of Jesus

O Divine Jesus, Thou hast promised that anything we ask of the Eternal Father in Thy name shall be granted.

O Eternal Father. In the name of Jesus, for the love of Jesus, in fulfillment of this promise, and because Jesus has said it, grant us our petitions for the sake of Jesus, Thy Divine Son. Amen.
