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 Bap-
tist, “a light for the nations” leading others to Christ? Who
are the people in your life that need to be pointed toward
Christ?
PLEASE KEEP IN YOUR PRAYERS:
Betty Donovan, Agnes Walsh & Cathe-
rine Mandeville, whose funerals were
celebrated during the past week.
Please keep them and their families in
your prayers.

ARe%lectionontheNativityofJohntheBaptist
ByDr.ScottHahn
The people in this week’s Gospel are frightened and amazed by the mysterious events surrounding the birth
of John. Only his mother and father, Elizabeth and Zechariah, know what this child will be. John the Baptist was fashioned in secret, knit by God in his mother’s womb,
as we sing in this Sunday’s Psalm. From the womb he was set apart, formed to be God’s servant, as Isaiah de
clares in this week’s First Reading.
The whole story of John’s birth is thick with Old Testament echoes, especially echoes of the story of Abraham.
God appeared to Abraham promising that his wife would bear him a son; He announced the son’s name
and the role Isaac would play in salvation history
(see Genesis 17:1, 16, 19).
The same thing happened to Zechariah and Elizabeth. Through His angel, God announced John’s birth to this
righteous yet barren couple. He made them call John a special name—and told them the special part John
would play in ful3illing His plan for history (see Luke
1:5–17).
As Paul says in today’s Second Reading, John was to herald the ful3illment of all God’s promises to the chil
dren of Abraham (Luke 1:55, 73). John was to bring the word of salvation to all the people of Israel. More than
that, he was to be a light to the nations—to all those
groping in the dark for God.
We often associate John with his 3iery preaching
(see Matthew 3:7–12). But there was a deep humility at the heart of his mission. Paul alludes to that when he quotes John’s words about not being worthy to unfas
ten the sandals of Christ’s feet. John said, “[Christ] must
increase. I must decrease” (John 3:30).
We must have that same attitude as we seek to follow
Jesus. The repentance John preached was a turning away from sin and sel3ishness and a turning of our
whole hearts to the Father.
We must decrease so that, like John, we can grow
strong in the Spirit, until Christ is made manifest in
each of us.
