“And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechariah after his father, but his mother said, “None of your kindred is called by this name.” And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he would have him called, And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” Luke 1:59-63. St. Padre Pio said, Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly; and if He does not let you feel the sweetness of His love, it is to make you more humble and abject in your own eyes.
Let us pray, Lord Jesus, may we imitate Elizabeth and Zechariah as they named their son John, praising Your graciousness and wondrous favor. May we never fail to give You honor and praise, for You are a gracious God who always shows us mercy. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
