Third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday

Dear friend,

Jesus Christ says: “You will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) But how do we do that?

It requires four key things: Prayer. Learning. Belonging. Mission. The result? We’ll each be better equipped to bring the love of Jesus Christ and His Holy Church to a contemporary society in desperate need of His divine healing, teaching, and peace.

Join me on a year-long journey as – week by week – we master how to respond to that call of Jesus Christ to each of us. I like to call it “BMW”. That is: Be My Witnesses.

To subscribe, just text BMW to 84576 or click here to register. We begin in January 2025. Watch the short film below for more information. Enjoy! 

I am sincerely yours in Christ,
