6th Sunday in Advent Nativity of John the Baptist Luke 1 / 57-66

St. Augustine points out that the Church celebrates the birth of John as something sacred, and he is in fact the only saint whose day of his birth is celebrated, we celebrate the birth of John and that of Christ. (Sermon 293,1). He was the great forerunner of Christ, provoking the greatest religious revival in Israel’s history, drawing the people of Judea to the river Jordan to confess their sins. As Christians we are called to be forerunners of Christ in today’s world.
