Finding the Right Word

Finding the Right Word

September 12, 2021 Rev. Javier Almendárez-Bautista

Fr. Javier reflects on the Letter of James and what we say to one another: “We don’t always have to find the right words to say. But it is possible for us to hold back the wrong ones. And the goal to aspire to here is not perfection but attention, not eloquence but patience… not stellar insight but simply, what is needed.”
