Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptis
Luke 1: 57-66, 80

When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her. When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child, they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother said in reply, "No. He will be called John." But they answered her, "There is no one among your relatives who has this name." So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called. He asked for a tablet and wrote, "John is his name," and all were amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God. Then fear came upon all their neighbors, and all these matters were discussed throughout the hill country of Judea. All who heard these things took them to heart, saying, "What, then, will this child be?" For surely the hand of the Lord was with him. The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel.

Dawg's Thought:

Today's prayer intention - for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

Lord, be in my mouth to declare Your praise.
I know that it is my action,
my disobedience,
that has made me mute
to declaring Your praise.
St. John the Baptist was Your herald,
and as such, was given the great honor
of sharing in Your inheritance.
He spoke Your word, and as such,
earned the gift of being martyred.
May I proclaim Your truth without fear of martyrdom.
May I proclaim Your truth
so that my voice may not be eternally silenced
in the place You do not dwell.
May I proclaim Your truth
so that others may one day
praise You to Your Holy Face in Heaven.

St. John the Baptist, pray for us.

Take care and God Bless.
