Article 2 THE WAY OF PRAYER
2666
But the one name that contains everything is the one that the Son of God
received in his incarnation: JESUS. the divine name may not be spoken by human
lips, but by assuming our humanity the Word of God hands it over to us and we
can invoke it: “Jesus,” “YHWH saves.”16 The name
“Jesus” contains all: God and man and the whole economy of creation
and salvation. To pray “Jesus” is to invoke him and to call him
within us. His name is the only one that contains the presence it signifies.
Jesus is the Risen One, and whoever invokes the name of Jesus is welcoming the
Son of God who loved him and who gave himself up for him.17
