Why is the name of Jesus so powerful?What does it mean when we pray “in the name” of Jesus or we say that all will be saved in the name of Jesus? Is this merely about pronouncing/uttering a word?What does it mean to use the name of God in vain? Is it just about avoiding using God’s name as a cuss word?What does it mean to have Jesus “everywhere in us” and us “all in him”?St. Francis says that divine love “alone is capable of expressing Jesus in our lives.” Does this make us sort of like robots, only truly able to do things if God does it in us?
