Oh. Well, I suppose if he has to write anything on the bla... excuse me, whiteboard, he doesn't preface it with "JMJ."
Decades ago my parents and I used to watch Bishop Fulton J. Sheen's TV broadcasts and watch him write that at the top of each blackboard that he was writing on. It pains me to say that we didn't know what it meant (we weren't Catholic, and certainly not Jesuit).
