How often do you talk about Jesus in conversation? Do you avoid mentioning him around certain friends or family? Lent is a time of aligning our hearts back to the Lord in preparation for his Passion and sacrifice on the cross, but how are we going to do that if we won’t even say his name? Today, Fr. Mark-Mary encourages us to mention Jesus in at least one conversation each week during Lent, and explains why it’s so important.
If you haven’t checked out Fr. Mark-Mary’s new book, Habits for Holiness: Small Steps for Making Big Spiritual Progress yet, you’re missing out!
