Blog Post Homily Cycle I Offered at OLPH 07-08-2025.

 

In the first reading from Genesis, Jacob wrestles with a mysterious man and that man changes Jacob’s name to Israel.

Names are important, Pope Francis emphasized the profound significance of choosing a child's name, he said that the name parents give their child will be the name God calls them for eternity.

 

Here are two name changes you may be aware of:

1. John Roger Stephens is none other than John Legend.

2. The first Pope Peter - Jesus changed Simon to Peter, [in Aramaic Cephas] [in Greek Petros] and [in English Peter] his name means “rock.”

Remember your Baptismal name Sacramentally makes you a Christian. In the Gospel Jesus drives out the demon from the mute man; Jesus brings light to the man, and He brings light to us.

Follow the Light of the Lord and you will be blessed.

 

May God Be Praised.
