Spirituality: The Holy Name of Jesus by Juan de Polanco, S.J.

The name is the Company of Jesus. Father Master Ignatius had so many visitations and signs of approval and confirmation of this name, that I heard him say he would feel to be acting against God’s will and offending him if he were to doubt of its fitness. When he was urged to change it, because some said we were taking Jesus for ourselves, and others gave other reasons, I remember him saying that even if all the members of the Society (or anyone else we are not obliged under sin to follow) judged otherwise, he would not give in on this; and since it is in the Constitutions that nothing may be done if just one objects, this name would not be changed during his lifetime. Father Master Ignatius has this unyielding assurance in the matters he knows through means superior than human ones. Then, nothing will make him budge.
