I realize that this is a little later than I normally post this, but I finally found a GOOD resource for sharing this information.

January is traditionally devoted to the Holy Name of Jesus, reminding us of the power of his name.

Consider adding some of these traditional prayers to your routine for January.

The Jesus Prayer – O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Act of Reparation for Blasphemies Uttered Against the Holy Name

O Jesus, my Savior and Redeemer, Son of the living God, behold, we kneel before Thee and offer Thee our reparation; we would make amends for all the blasphemies uttered against Thy holy name, for all the injuries done to Thee in the Blessed Sacrament, for all the irreverence shown toward Thine immaculate Virgin Mother, for all the calumnies and slanders spoken against Thy spouse, the holy Catholic and Roman Church. O Jesus, who has said: “If you ask the Father anything in My name, He will give it to you,” we pray and beseech Thee for all our brethren who are in danger of sin; shield them from every temptation to fall away from the true faith; save those who are even now standing on the brink of the abyss; to all of them give light and knowledge of the truth, courage and strength for the conflict with evil, perseverance in faith and active charity! For this do we pray, most merciful Jesus, in Thy name, unto God the Father, with whom Thou livest and reignest in the unity of the Holy Ghost world without end. Amen.

And, of course, you could add the Litany of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, too.   There are other prayers suggested at Catholicism @ About.com if you are interested.
