Old_Joe Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Not unless you went on World Youth Day in Toronto in which case it means, "Journee Mondiale de Jeunesse" which literally translates to "Day of the World's Youth." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 It is a short prayer, an aspiration... Also, for many religious orders, they attach the first letter of their founder to it... ex. JMJT (Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Teresa--Carmelites) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Many people write JMJ on their tests and things, as a prayer to be able to do their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSoror Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hmm... that 's something to think about. I usually do it when I'm not sure about how well I'm going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterDominicus Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Yeah, I've noticed on a couple letters by Sister Judith Miryam, that she sent to me in the mail, there was a cross and JMJ on it. It never really bothered me to ask. Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]787115[/snapback][/right] [/quote] lower than a D; higher than a F (stands for exculpatory? excretory? execrate? excoriate?) a politically correct way of saying "did you really intend to turn this in?"
