Nativity of St. John the Forerunner & Baptist of the Lord
Today we celebrate the birth of the Holy Prophet, Apostle, and Forerunner John. St. John the Baptist danced with joy in his mother's womb, recognizing the savior in Mary's womb. St. John the Baptist was called from a young age, set apart for the work God call him to do. He preached the truth despite objections and the very real possibility of upsetting those in authority who ultimately put him to death.
May we too discover our call, be confident in the truth that we proclaim, and be a bold example of Christ's love to those around us.
