The Passion of John the Baptist. “At that time: Herod sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; because he had married her. For John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” Mark 6:17-18. St. Jerome Emiliani said, “If I do not speak the truth, I become a
slave of the father of lies and a member of this father of lies.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, we thank You for those among us who do not stifle the truth and do not care the consequences. Transform Your Church to treasure the truth and work to uphold it all the time. St. John the Baptist; pray for us. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
