"Like lots of other little kids, when I was growing up I had some pets
at home. I have to confess, though, that I wasn't very creative in
naming them. In fact, I was pathetic. I had a little black dog named 'Inky,' a hamster I named 'Hammy,' and a goldfish named - yep, you
guessed it - 'Goldie.' It's a good thing, I suppose, that I never had a
son or daughter - they probably would have been named 'Boy' and 'Girl.'
"But names are important, and none more so than the names found in the
Bible which often carry special meaning. And at the top of the list of
significant names of the Bible is, of course, 'Jesus!'"
In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence
(RI), reflected on the importance of the Holy Name of Jesus.
