Holy Fatima YouTube - Explaining the Most Holy Name of Jesus...
I asked this question for you... Why do we celebrate the Holy Name of Jesus?
This is the answer I found on the Web...
"We honor and celebrate the name of Jesus because the name of God deserves reverence. By celebrating this feast, we seek to make reparation for the irreverent use of God's name and
restore it to proper dignity."
"The angel tells St. Joseph ... By His incarnation, God made man takes on a
name indicating he comes to save us"

"The angel tells St. Joseph to name the child Jesus because he will save us from our sins (see Mt 1:21)."
"By His incarnation, God made man takes on a name indicating he comes to save us. Jesus becomes the source of our salvation. Since apostolic times, the name of Jesus has been preached and proclaimed. First, by the apostles as they sojourned on their missionary efforts, then by their successors who sought to evangelize, by various missionaries who brought the name of Jesus to the New World, and by teachers of the Faith who sought to combat heresy. We celebrate a feast in honor of Jesus’ holy name because it has been spoken throughout the world, and when proclaimed to those who have never heard His name, lives are changed."
