Saint John the Baptist in 2023

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
