Thanks for calling us to task with a post about the Holy Name Society!
Hi Salvation,
I didn’t intend to take anyone to task, but only want to add to the awareness out there. The Holy Name Society, as Sodalities were a common part of parish life before Vatican II. Their demise, may in part may be connected to the common understanding of a changing role of Laity and ecclesiologyin post-Conciliar parish life. In the last few years, we are fortunately seeing the important role of devotional confraternaties play both in formation and living out the Faith. Please pray for their renewal.
If you want I can post the Litany of Holy Name (we recite this in Latin in our parish) and the lyrics of the Holy Name Hymn by the late William Cardinal O’Connell, Archbishop of Boston. It has a march or fight tempo. I can also Email a PDF scan of the associated music.
Happy New Year!!
Respectfully,
It is interesting how quite the threads are which are specifically speaking to Christ and His Glory, is it not? I am glad to see that be the case as other threads certainly boil the blood of a lot of people and that’s sad. I post on some of the other threads but I am trying hard to not be a flaming poster but rather defend my positions respectfully or ask questions to help me better understand anothers position. Thank you for your post about Christ, it is appreciated!
Blessings.

**other threads certainly boil the blood of a lot of people and thats sad.**
Taking your statement literally.......yes, it is sad, because they would be dead if their blood boiled. — just a little bit of humor on the literal interpretation of the Bible that many have.
