Word for Saturday June 24, The Nativity of St. John the Baptist.

“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.” Luke 1:59-60. Fr. Ron Rolheiser said, “Sanctity has to do with gratitude. To be a saint is to be fueled by gratitude, nothing more and nothing less.” Let us pray, Loving Father, Elizabeth honored You for she chose to name her son John meaning “God is gracious!” Thank You Father for being so gracious in our lives and in our causes without end; You turn around so many things in such marvelous ways!! She who was
considered barren is now with child! We thank You Lord. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be
blessed. Larry.
