1 Holy Trinity Catholic Church St. John the Baptist 355 Oregon Ave 15th and Hwy 101 Port Orford, OR Administrator: Rev. George Kuforiji Parish Office: Fax: Parish Mission Statement To be a welcoming Catholic community committed to love, prayer, and service. Administrator: Rev. George Kuforiji Fr. Kuforiji s voice mail: gkuforiji@archdpdx.org HolyTrinityBandon.org The Nativity of St. John the Baptist ~ June 24, 2018 John s calling began before his conception in the womb of Elizabeth. The angel Gabriel announced his birth to the his father, the old priest, Zechariah (Zachary). He was given the name of John. Biblical naming signified special calling. He was to be the graciousness of GOD, because he would announce GOD s graciousness in the coming of Jesus. When Mary (pregnant with Jesus) visited her cousin Elizabeth at the beginning of Elizabeth s third trimester, John leapt for joy within Elizabeth s womb. The church has taught that this event caused John to be set free from original sin, and thus able to be born sinless. Jesus brought salvation to his cousin while both were still in utero. What does all this mean for us? First of all, each and every one of us has been called by GOD from before our birth. We may not have had an angel announcing our birth to our parents as John s parents had. Yet, we are called to life by GOD and given a role to play in GOD s plan. Unlike John, we are not the greatest person born of woman. Yet, we can be part of those who are greater than he was before he achieved his final place in the Reign of GOD. We are called to be a part, even if it is the least part, of the Reign of GOD, if we work at the mission which GOD has for us preparing for the way of the Lord Jesus coming to ourselves and to others. John achieved his place in the Reign of GOD by living, and ultimately dying, for the Lord Jesus. That is our destiny also, if we help others come to know the Messiah, Jesus the Lord. As we draw closer to our Master-Teacher and bring others to Him also, we will be able to say with John the Baptist: Jesus must increase in the lives of people, while we decrease in importance and value. Our value (as John s value) comes only from Jesus and our relationship with Him. Let us realize our calling to be servants of the Lord Jesus, announcing forgiveness of sins, pointing to the Messiah. The personal question/action for today: How do I see my role as a herald of the GOoD News of Jesus? What thoughts and feelings do I have when I realize that I have been called by GOD from before my birth? What can I do to remind others of the graciousness of GOD?
