To One Crying in the Wilderness

Even before you were born, St. John the Baptist, you expressed your delight and adoration in the presence of the unborn Lord Jesus Christ. You lived a life totally dedicated to bringing people to the joyful realization that God is concerned with their lives and their salvation. Help me today to bask in the care and compassion of the Holy Trinity, and to be able to acknowledge my indebtedness to the One who loves me so completely.
St. John the Baptist may I encounter Christ as you did and recognize that “He must increase; I must decrease.” (John 3:30 NABRE) so that all may see Jesus in me.
