Prayer #1 :
O sweet Name of Jesus, holy above all names
in heaven and on earth, and to which every knee,
both of men and of angels in heaven,
on earth and in hell bends.
You are the the way of the just,
the glory of the saints,
the hope of those in need, the balm of the sick,
the love of the devout and the
consolation of those that suffer.
O, Jesus be to me a help and a protector
so that your Name may be blessed for all times…
.....(Manualis Parvulorum XIII)
Thomas A. Kempis
Prayer # 2 : The Golden Arrow
May the most holy, most sacred,
most adorable, most mysterious and
unutterable Name of God be always praised,
blessed, loved, adored and glorified
in heaven on earth and under the earth,
by all the creatures of God, and by the
Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ
in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
This prayer is said to have been revealed
by Jesus Himself to a Carmelite Nun of Tours
in 1843 as a reparation for blasphemy.
"This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart delightfully,"
He said, "and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy."
Prayer # 3: Prayer to the Holy Name - St. Alphonsus
O my Jesus, thou art the Savior who hast
given Thy blood and Thy life for me,
I pray Thee to write Thy adorable name
on my poor heart; so that having it always
imprinted in my heart by love, I may also
have it ever on my lips, by invoking it
in all my necessities. If the devil tempts me,
Thy name will give me strength to resist him;
if I lose confidence, Thy name will animate me to hope;
if I am in affliction, Thy name will comfort me,
by reminding me of all Thou hast endured for me.
If I find myself cold in Thy love,
Thy name will inflame me by reminding me
of the love Thou hast shown me.
I have fallen into so many sins,
because I did not call on Thee;
from henceforth Thy name shall be my defense,
my refuge, my hope, my only consolation, my only love.
Thus do I hope to live, and so do I hope to die,
having Thy name always on my lips.

or, The Mysteries of the Faith
St. Alphonsus de Liguori, Redemptorist Fathers, 1927.
Prayer #4 : Prayer to the Holy Name - St. Bernardine of Siena
Jesus, Name full of glory, grace, love and strength!
You are the refuge of those who repent,
our banner of warfare in this life,
the medicine of souls, the comfort of those who morn,
the delight of those who believe,
the light of those who preach the true faith,
the wages of those who toil, the healing of the sick.
To You our devotion aspires;
by You our prayers are received;
we delight in contemplating You.
O Name of Jesus, You are the glory
of all the saints for eternity.
Amen.
St. Bernardine of Siena
Prayer # 5: Prayer Petition to the Holy Name of Jesus
God, You appointed Your only-begotten Son
to be the Savior of mankind, and You commanded
His Name to be Jesus.
I beg that a most ardent love of Your Divine Son
imprint that Name upon my heart;
that it always be on my mind, and
frequently on my lips; that it be
my defense in temptation, my refuge in danger,
and my consolation and strength
in the hour of my death.
Holy Name Prayer of Contrition
Most Merciful Jesus, by that Precious Blood
which you willingly shed for sinners, I beg You
to wash away all my sinfulness and to look
mercifully upon me, a poor and unworthy sinner,
as I call upon Your Holy Name.
Mercifully grant me, through Your adorable Name,
which is the joy of heaven, the terror of hell,
the consolation of the afflicted,
the refuge of sinners and the
strength of those who repent,
the grace of eternal salvation
through the holy Name of Jesus.
I ask this in Your Name,
who live and reign with
God the Father and the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.
Amen.
