![]() Well, people made fun of those words, like Ricky Bobby I guess, They parodied those words so that they became, “Hocus Pocus.” You could turn bread into body with those words, and you could make a rabbit come out of a hat. At the moment in the Mass when the bread was turned into the Body of Christ, the priest said what must have been magic words: “Hoc Est Meus Corpus,” which means “This is my Body.” The familiar magic phrase, “hocus pocus” actually has its origin from people making fun of the Medieval Church Mass, which was always spoken in Latin. I suppose that special words have always enamored people. #Magical names according to christians passwordIs the name of Jesus just a magic name, like a talisman with supernatural powers? Or is the name of Jesus like a secret password to God’s computer and internet account, enabling you to access anything you like? Like “Open, Sesame!” What does it mean to pray in the name of Jesus?

(As you recall, it goes on from there!) Ricky Bobby: “Well look, I like the Christmas Jesus best, and I'm sayin’ grace. It's a bit odd and off puttin' to pray to a baby.” or as our brothers to the South call you, JEE-sus, we just want to thank you…“ Then he begins to thank Jesus for all sorts of things that I can’t mention from the pulpit! But Carley Bobby, his wife, interrupts him and says, “Hey, um. The video clip is funnier than I can imitate it, but it goes something like this:Īt the crazy and disorganized family meal, Ricky Bobby-a race car driver-says grace: Hey! And no list can be complete with mentioning the special prayer that Ricky Bobby prayed in the movie, Talladega Nights (2006). The ways in which we use the name of Jesus Christ are endless, too. “Sweet Jesus, we just want to come to you in praise.” “Jesus, look at the size of that hurricane!” “For the love of Jesus, please be quiet!” How many ways have you heard the name of Jesus used recently? “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them.” –Matthew 18.20 ![]()
