John the Baptist burnt the light for Jesus’s coming mission. Now it is fulfilled that job falls to our hands. We must rise up and do his work each day.

REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 20 FEBRUARY 2012
John the Baptist proclaimed the Word every day. Herod feared what he had done to execute him, but was too prideful to not do the right thing and refuse his daughter her horrible request. Pray that we have the faith and courage to make the right decisions for ourselves today.
REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 9 JANUARY 2012
