They said to him then, “Who are you?” Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” John 1:22-23. St. Pope John Paul II said, “The more ready you are to give yourself to God and to others, the more you discover the authentic meaning of life.” Let us pray, Loving Father, John knew and spelt out his identity very well;he knew the purpose why he had come. Spirit of God help us, as we live, to be able to clearly spell out our identity in life; what we are meant to accomplish in life, our families, our jobs and in our Church. Sts. Basil and Gregory pray for us. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
