To Hallow The Name Of God

To hallow the name of God is, in the language of the Scripture, to love Him, adore Him, and to recognize His holiness in all things. Things, like words, do indeed proceed from the mouth of God. The events of each moment are divine thoughts expressed by created objects. Thus, all those things by which He makes His will known to us are so many names, so many words by which He shows us His will…To hallow the name of God is to know, adore, and love the Ineffable One expressed by this name. It is also to know, adore, and love His blessed will at all times, in all its effects, seeing all things as so many veils, shadows and names of this eternally holy will. It is holy in all its works, holy in all its words, holy in all its forms of manifestation, holy in all the names it bears.

- Jean-Pierre de Caussade
