The month of January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus, which is celebrated on January 3. "In the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth and under the earth" (Phil 2:10).
"I made my first film about an old woman who, on her knees, climbs the steps of the great St. Joseph's Oratory that he built and I lived on the same street that he lived on when I first moved to Montreal. And yes, he's my favorite saint. He was a humble porter who sent thousands of people to be healed under the watchful eye of St. Joseph." - Fr. Larry Lynn.
Therefore, whilst we still have time, let us do good to all...
