John the Baptist

Today’s Reflection
Gospel: Mt 11:11-15 Jesus’ Testimony to John”
December 13, 2018 | Thursday

Readings for today

Before John the Baptist, the prophets had already foretold the coming of the Savior. With the coming of the Baptizer, the time of fulfillment has begun. But the Romans, who were occupying Palestine at that time, mistreated him who preached about the Kingdom. Jesus testified that John was a prophet, like Elijah, and even more than a prophet. He was God’s messenger.

Like John the Baptist, we, as disciples of Jesus, have a message to share to the world: that God loves each and every one of us; that He is present among us; that He is a living and loving God who desires to share his divine life with us. May we become messengers of God in this world influenced by evil forces. We can be true messengers of God when we love others as Jesus has loved us.
