✠ Why does the Church celebrate the birth of St. John the Baptist, when nearly every other saint is commemorated on the day of death?
Because before he was born, God had already chosen him to prepare the way for Jesus Christ.
Filled with the Holy Ghost in his mother’s womb, St. John became the voice crying in the wilderness, calling sinners to repentance and pointing every soul to the Lamb of God.
Discover why his Nativity is one of the great feasts of the Church and what his life teaches every Christian today.
