24, 2018: Solemnity of the Birth of St. John the Baptist
Readings: Isaiah 49,1-6; Acts 13,22-26; Luke 1,57-66.80
Selected Passage: "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.” (Luke 1: 66. 80)
Meditation. John was full of the Spirit. He baptized
with water – the turning away from sin and opening to accept the way of the
Lord. He was NOT the Messiah. He was the
one who was destined to prepare the way for the Lord.
We, too in our Baptism, are filled with the
Holy Spirit. We are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ – not only cleansing
us of our sins, but transforming us to become God’s sons and daughters in
Christ. We become LIKE unto Christ! www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
