What does it mean to pray, “Hallowed be Thy name,” and why is prayer to the Father only truly ours when prayed in the name of Jesus? In this video, we unlock the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2807–2815) to uncover the profound connection between God’s revealed name, the first petition of the Lord’s Prayer, and Jesus’ fulfillment of God’s holiness.
CCC 2809 reminds us, “The holiness of God is the inaccessible center of his eternal mystery. What is revealed of it in creation and history, Scripture calls ‘glory,’ […] by sinning, man fell ‘short of the glory of God.’” CCC 2812 emphasizes, “Finally, in Jesus the name of the Holy God is revealed and given to us…”
Discover how this prayer calls us to reflect God’s holiness, align our lives with His will, and enter into the mystery of His name. Through the name of Jesus, who revealed the loving heart of the Father, we are invited to share in His holiness and live in His grace.
