The Holy Name of Jesus

But these things are written, * that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and believing, you may have life * in His name. V. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon His name: proclaim his works among the nations. That you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. In His name. (The ninth responsory of Matins of the Feast of the Holy Name, according to the Sarum Breviary.)

R. Haec autem scripta sunt * ut credátis quia Jesus est Christus, Filius Dei, et ut credentes, vitam habeátis * in nómine ejus. V. Confitémini Dómino, et invocáte nomen ejus: annuntiáte inter gentes ópera ejus. Ut credátis quia Jesus est Christus, Filius Dei, et ut credentes, vitam habeátis. Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spirítui Sancto. In nómine ejus.
