Nativity of St. John the Baptist
News of John’s birth to Elizabeth and Zechariah spreads through the hill country of Judea. Zechariah is able to speak again. The people of the region say “What, then, will this child be?” For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.
Fr. Daniel preaches that, the best way to honor St. John the Baptist on his birthday is to live as he did, living for the sole purpose of pointing to Jesus in everything we do. As John decreased, and Christ increased, so too do the days now shorten, only to begin to lengthen again when we celebrate Christmas.
