Over the Hills and Everywhere!

This Christmas, my wish for you is that you proclaim the birth of Jesus with renewed spirit, fire, and enthusiasm! The great Christmas song, “Go Tell it on the Mountain,” inspires us to proclaim the birth of Jesus “on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere!” That’s what catechists do. We tell the world that Jesus is in our midst and invite others to make him the center of their lives. I know that readers of Catechist’s Journey are from “over the hills and everywhere” and that you proclaim the Word of God “over the hills and everywhere.” May the sweet sound of your voice echo in every corner of the world: “Jesus Christ is born!”

Christmas blessings,
Joe

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

(Refrain)

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And brought us God’s salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

(Refrain)
