Is there a story behind your name? What is it?

My name is Jesus, great responsibility and representation (In Mexico we say: The penance is in the name). In Mexico it is very normal for people to be called that, my father is called the same. For me it is a very important name that I do not take lightly. To be honest, I do not believe myself worthy of carrying it for our Lord Jesus, that is why my name was transformed into Jess when one of the influential people in my life told me that the name Jesus is better and goes more with my personality so I adopted it as my name.
