READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 24, 2018

The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist

Tiny fingers and toes. A little yawn. A loud cry. An infant wrapped in

swaddling clothes. "What will this child be?" It is a question every parent

asks time and time again. As first steps are taken, as personalities emerge,

as a child shows interest in reading or drawing or climbing, the question is

on our lips. "What will this child be?" This question is asked as John the

Baptist is born. Will he be a priest like his father? Does his strange,

unexpected name signal a departure from that inheritance? Could Elizabeth

and Zechariah ever have predicted what would be?

Under the tutelage of his priestly father, John "became strong in spirit."

As an adult, John would retreat into the desert to preach repentance. He

would attract a large following and eventually attract the attention of the

rulers of the day. He would point out the adulterous ways of King Herod

and would find himself in prison. Eventually, he would be beheaded. But

today, he is a child, an infant newly born.

On this special feast, we're reminded of the great humility required of

parents. The character formation, the discipline and encouragement, the

violin lessons and soccer practices? Every parental effort is subjected to

the decisions of the child themself. Even children on a sure track by high

school graduation transform under life's circumstances. Entrusting our

children to God can be incredibly intimidating. "What will this child be,"

especially when that transformation lies outside of my control? John the

Baptist's story might not have ended as his parents imagined, but he is

celebrated as the greatest of the prophets, as the one who prepared the way

for the Messiah. Here is the hope of all Christian parents -- that our

children would be raised in such a way that when people meet them, they

meet Jesus Christ.

Please be advised that the water access at Mt. Carmel

Cemetery is currently under repair. If you need water,

please use the St. Anthony Cemetery water or bring

your own. We are sorry for any inconvenience. We are

working to repair the problem.

When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child she gave birth

to a son. When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child,

they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother

said in reply, “No. He will be called John.” - Lk 1:57, 59-60
