Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist From his birth, John the Baptist was “a light to the nations” and one who grew strong in God’s spirit. While John knew

he was not the messiah, he also knew that his role was to prepare people’s hearts for the coming of Christ. In what

ways are you, like John the Baptist, “a light for the nations” leading others to Christ? Who are the people in your life

that need to be pointed toward Christ?
