JOHN THE BAPTIST Since June 24 falls on a Sunday this year, the Church has the opportunity for a more intense celebration of the birth of John the Baptist, who is often described as the last of the Old Testament prophets and the bridge between Judaism and Christianity. More commonly, John is known as the "precursor" of our Lord Jesus Christ. All the Gospels report John's basic message: Repent, the kingdom is near at hand. One greater than I is coming. Though he was a wandering preacher who dressed in camel skins and ate grasshoppers, John's legacy is one of true royalty. His origins are similar to those foretold by God through the prophet Isaiah: "You are my servant, he said to me, Israel through whom I show my glory" (Isaiah 49:3). John's humility--"i am not he"--was surpassed only by that of his Lord Jesus, the humble servant who followed. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. DO YOU FEEL CALLED TO PRAY FOR OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED? One of the most powerful ways to love one s neighbor is through intercessory prayer. Joseph s House, a Catholic outreach center sponsored by parishes in the greater Burlington area, is starting a prayer ministry for the individuals and families it serves. The mission of Joseph s House is to live out the Gospel call of Jesus Christ by offering support, compassion, and financial assistance to those in need. If you would like to learn more about how you can support our clients and our mission through prayer, please contact Simeon Lewis at josephshousevt@gmail.com or 951-4290. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It's midsummer day! We have the advantage of celebrating one of the great hidden treasures of our liturgical calendar on a Sunday this year. There are only three "nativity" feasts on our calendar: for the Lord, the Blessed Mother (September 8), and today's birth of the Baptist. Today's date is anchored by the Annunciation (March 25), when Mary learns not only of her own child's advent, but of Elizabeth's child. We are exactly half a year away from Christmas Eve. There are strong traditions around this feast. Just as the winter solstice provides a rich vocabulary for Christmas, so does the abundance of light at midsummer inform this celebration. Just as at Christmas, a religious festival spills over into culture. As summer light reaches its peak, the sun-drenched zones of northern Europe see people staying up all night, lighting "St. John's fires" in the long summer twilight. Bonfires seem to be the unifying force in all these celebrations, kindled along the shores of the St. Lawrence in Quebec and Montreal, with harbor illuminations in France. You may be most interested in the custom in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Baptist's own city. People there will leap into the sea between midnight and dawn to honor John. Why not find your way to a pool, a lake, or a sandy beach today and plunge in to recall your baptism? It's a tradition! --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co Page 5
