Scripture says: "At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." (Phil 2:10).

Why "Jesus"?

The name (Yeshua) means "God Saves." It is not just a label. It contains the power of His presence. When you whisper "Jesus" with love, you are praying the shortest, most powerful prayer in the world.

The IHS Monogram

You see it on altars. It is not "I Have Suffered" or "In His Service." It is simply the first three letters of Jesus' name in Greek: Iota-Eta-Sigma. St. Bernardino of Siena used to hold up a board with "IHS" surrounded by rays of light to calm fighting mobs in Italy.


Say His name. Reverently. MyPrayerTower app.
