A Defense of the Sacred Name Against Blasphemy and Indifference

The Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus is a solemn, reverent prayer that invokes the most powerful and sacred Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This litany expresses deep adoration, love, and reverence for the Name that is above every other name (Philippians 2:9–10), before which every knee shall bend. Approved by Pope Pius IX in 1862 for public use and enriched with indulgences by his successors, this litany is a vital spiritual weapon—particularly in an age of rampant blasphemy and religious indifference.

From a sedevacantist, Pre-Vatican II authentic Catholic perspective, the Holy Name of Jesus must be defended and honored with unwavering devotion, especially in the face of the irreverence and theological errors that have followed the false Second Vatican Council. That council fostered ecumenism, religious pluralism, and indifferentism, all of which undermine the uniqueness and divinity of Jesus Christ, reducing Him to one "path among many." These are grave heresies, which the true Catholic Church—before the Council—has always condemned.

In contrast, the Litany of the Holy Name upholds the eternal truth of the One True Faith, reminding us that salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone, and that His Holy Name is to be invoked, loved, feared, and defended. To recite this litany is to affirm Christ's sovereignty, to reject the errors of Vatican II, and to remain faithful to the unchanging Catholic Tradition.

Make us, O Lord, to have both a perpetual fear and love of Thy holy name, for Thou never failest to govern those whom Thou foundest upon the strength of Thy love, Who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.

📌 Key notes:

  1. Reverence for the Holy Name
    This Litany venerates the Most Holy Name of Jesus, which is above every name (Phil. 2:9–11). It reflects the Church’s ancient practice of invoking the Name of Our Lord with profound love, trust, and adoration. The Name of Jesus is powerful, holy, and salvific—it is the name by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

  2. A Spiritual Weapon Against Heresy and Evil
    Each invocation is a title of Christ, proclaiming His divinity, majesty, and power. The repeated appeals act as a shield against blasphemy, impiety, and error—especially the heresies promoted by the Vatican II sect, which downplays the uniqueness of Christ and His Church through false ecumenism.

  3. A Reaffirmation of Christ’s Sovereignty
    The titles “King of Glory,” “Son of the living God,” “Brightness of eternal light,” and others reaffirm the kingship and divinity of Our Lord, so often denied or obscured in the post-Vatican II pseudo-church which seeks to place Christ on the same level as false gods and man-made religions.

  4. A Public Act of Reparation
    This Litany is also a prayer of reparation for sins against the Holy Name, especially in our time when Christ’s Name is used irreverently in speech, media, and even false worship. By devoutly praying this litany, faithful Catholics make reparation for blasphemies and restore honor to the Name of Jesus.

  5. Officially Approved by the True Church
    The Litany of the Holy Name was approved by Pope Pius IX in 1862 and carries indulgences under the traditional norms. Its place in Catholic devotion is firmly rooted in authentic tradition, entirely free from modernist revision or suppression, unlike many devotions distorted or removed by the Vatican II counterfeit sect.

    The diphthong "æ" sounds like "eh" (not “eye”), and "c" before "æ" is pronounced "ch".

    The "pt" cluster is clearly pronounced (not dropped or slurred), and "o" is always as in or.

5. Lesson Summary

The Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus is a profound act of adoration and defense of Our Lord’s most sacred Name. It reaffirms the divinity and kingship of Christ against modernist blasphemies and indifferentism. From a true Catholic perspective, this litany is both a prayer of love and a public rejection of the heresies fostered by the false Vatican II religion.

6. Final Thought – Why Does This Prayer Matter?

In these dark times, when the Church has been eclipsed by the counterfeit “Conciliar Church” born of the Second Vatican Council—a false sect that has abandoned Tradition, the Latin Mass, and even the most sacred reverence due to Our Lord—the Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus stands as a clear and radiant beacon of the true Catholic Faith. It is not merely a devotional prayer, but a profession of loyalty to the one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church, the same Church that honored and invoked the Holy Name with fear and trembling, long before the era of ecumenism and modernism corrupted the sanctuary.

This prayer matters because it is doctrinal, devotional, and defensive. Doctrinal, because each title of Our Lord Jesus Christ affirms His divinity, His kingship, and His unique role as Redeemer—truths which are now often diluted or denied by the Novus Ordo hierarchy. Devotional, because it unites the soul to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through love and reverence of His Name. And defensive, because it is a shield against the powers of Hell, which rage ever more violently in a world that blasphemes the Name above all names.

The Holy Name is not a slogan, nor a mere expression of emotion—it is a sacred invocation of God Himself, the same God who gave His life on the Cross and established one true Church. The post-Conciliar revolution may tolerate all names and all “religions,” but the Catholic who clings to Tradition knows that only one Name saves: Jesus.

To pray this Litany is to declare publicly and spiritually:

I reject the errors of Modernism. I reject the man-made religion of Vatican II. I adhere fully to the unchanging Deposit of Faith and the Roman Catholic Church as She stood before the council, under true Vicars of Christ.

When we recite this Litany, we reaffirm our identity as members of the remnant Church, holding fast to the teachings of the saints, the councils of antiquity, the Tridentine Mass, and the true Magisterium. We invoke the Name of Jesus not only for mercy but for triumph—for the restoration of the Church, the conversion of sinners, and the defeat of heresy.

His Name is our hope. His Name is our banner. His Name is our salvation.
Let it be always on our lips, in our hearts, and in our homes, especially when the world—and sadly even those who claim to be shepherds—seek to silence or profane it.

“Iesu Audi Nos. Iesu exaudi nos.….”
