What does it truly mean to live in the name of Jesus? Learn from the martyrs who gave everything to honor Jesus’s name.
Drawing from The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2807–2815), we unpack the significance of “hallowed be thy name” in the Lord’s Prayer. CCC 2807 explains that “to hallow” means “to recognize as holy, to treat in a holy way,” emphasizing our role in honoring God’s name through our lives. As CCC 2814 reminds us, “The sanctification of his name among the nations depends inseparably on our life and our prayer.”
Through stories of the martyrs and practical ways to live in God’s name daily, we’ll reflect on how small acts of reverence and prayer can lead us to deeper faith. Let’s learn to align our lives with the Lord’s Prayer and honor God’s name in every moment.
