January is the month of the Holy Name of Jesus.

O God, Who appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the Savior of mankind and commanded His Name be called Jesus; mercifully grant that we may enjoy the vision of Him in Heaven, Whose Holy Name we venerate on earth. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.
