As we celebrate the Nativity of John the Baptist let us pray the Canticle of Zechariah with special fervor, it speaks of John the Herald of the Messiah, “You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High;” https://t.co/NahTBUiMW3

As we celebrate the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, let us be inspired by his life, always defined by his mission to be the herald of Jesus Christ. John had no other purpose or desire in life, he only wanted to point to Jesus & he knew his role well, imitate John’s humility https://t.co/3ULkd0Y8EK

As we enter into the Vigil of the Nativity of John the Baptist let us pray also for the 1 year anniversary of the Roe vs Wade reversal June 24. Pray that the ultimate result of this decision will be opening hearts & minds to the Sanctity of Life from conception to natural death. https://t.co/ftlgsE1VHc

As we approach the Nativity of John the Baptist on June 24th we return to the Litany of Humility. St John embodies the challenge of humility & models how we can embrace this virtue more deeply. He points to Christ & says “He must increase & I must decrease”. St John pray for us! https://t.co/twuEU01utk

Gospel: Today when we celebrate the birth of St. John the Baptist, we also remember his parents' patience. Elizabeth waits many years before she has a child and Zechariah waits nine months to speak after having been struck dumb (Lk 1). Waiting is part of the spiritual life. https://t.co/kzVnFm4DNS
