Witnessing to the Light

The Church only celebrates the date of birth of Jesus Our Savior, the Blessed Virgin Mary, our mother and John the Baptist, the forerunner because of their exceptional missions. Every June 24, we celebrate the solemnity of the nativity of St John the Baptist six months before the death of Jesus.

Nothing is impossible to God. If Elizabeth could conceive in her condition, this means that God can do all things with and for you. God is gracious, which means John's name. From disgrace he can bring grace. Let us thank God for his many blessings. (Luke 1:25).
One of the greatest lessons of John the Baptist is humility, selflessness, and courage. He never spoke for himself. He never stood for who he was not. He was just a voice, a witness to the Light.

May we decrease each day in our pride and self-centeredness so that Christ may increase in us.

Happy birthday to St John the Baptist!
