I know what you are saying. What is the J word exactly?
Well, the J word is JESUS.
In this very short blog post, I am inviting you to use the J word more this year.
I know that some of you are aware that we have begun Advent and that Advent is the beginning of the church's new year of grace, but remember, not everyone knows that. Sometimes we Catholics, even with the best of intentions, make following Jesus a little more complicated than it needs to be. We sometimes get ahead of ourselves when trying to make new followers of Jesus. We presume that people know words like advent or liturgy or hierarchy, the list goes on and on. Since many of us have grown up as Catholics, we use these words effortlessly. But people who have not yet accepted Jesus or have not heard of his love need to hear the J word more from our lips.
So let this be your new year's resolution: use the J word more!
