December 22 John the Baptist Shell
How did John know who Jesus was? Why did he baptize Jesus when he knew Jesus was not in need of forgiveness? How did John know that his work was to point the way to Jesus and then to fade away? What can we learn from his understanding of his role and who Jesus was?
Prayer: O God, open my mind to better understand what you wish me to do. Open my eyes to see you in everyone I meet this day and all days, especially in the difficult people you put in my life.
O Rex Gentium (King of the Nations) and their desire, the cornerstone making both one. Come and save the human race, which you fashioned out of clay.
