"Let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no', 'no'." (Mt 5:37) Simple? not quite... We tend to ad qualifications, nuances, exaggerations, fluff, to cover what we really mean, or to be direct, the truth. Sometimes it's to make us look better than we are, or it's a fear that we think "political correctness" will save us from "attack".
Jesus asks us to be up front, honest, and to the point. Let's take him at his word..
In this light, several Marist Brothers will be celebrating their Jubilees today, ranging from 50-70 years of faithful living of their vows and mission to make Jesus known and loved. They said, "yes" many years ago and meant it. Let us pray in thanksgiving for their lives of faithful witness to their truth and for their modeling of what it means to say YES!
