God's Name is holy.

"And holy is His Name."  (Luke 1: 49)

Mary in her Magnificat, proclaims God's Name as holy.  What is holy is sacred, consecrated and therefore set apart intentionally for sacred functions.  The Altar is sacred and cannot be used for ping-pong.  The Chalice is consecrated for sacred duty and therefore cannot be used to drink beer.

Consider the following Scriptures on the Name of God:

#1.   "Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name."  (Matthew 6: 9)
#2.  "You shall not invoke the name of the Lord, your God,  in  vain.   For the Lord will not leave unpunished anyone who invokes his name in vain."  (Exodus 20: 7)
#3.  "You have exalted above all things Your Name and Your Word."  (Psalm 138: 2)

We learn from the above Scriptures, that God's Name is indeed holy, sacred and must be revered at all times.

Come O King of all nations and keystone of the Church.
