Courage and faithfulness!

The memorial of the martyrdom of John the Baptist, the forerunner of the Lord, is an inviting us to be courageous and faithful disciples of Christ. John spoke out against King Herod's marriage, which was not allowed under Jewish law. He was beheaded as a reward to Salome, Herodias, daughter, for her beautiful dance at Herod's party.

We pray that we may stand up for the truth even in the midst of the adversities of this world.

St. John the Baptist, pray for us!
