Memorial of Saint Basil the Great and Saint Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops and Doctors of the Church.
First Reading: 1 John 2:22-28
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 98
Gospel: John 1:19-28
Brothers and Sisters, may the peace of the Lord be with you all. I pray that all of us are living 2009 for our Lord, and we are making it all we can be. From today's gospel reading, let us reflect of the humility of John the Baptist. John could have taken credit ad received a great deal of honor if he had stretched the truth or made himself out to be great amongst the Scribes and Pharisees. But John rather chose to be humble, and recognize that role that the Lord had given him. John is a great example of humility and of following the Lord's will. May we all be as willing to love and to serve the Lord as John the Baptist was.
Father above, we thank you for the gift of this day. We thank you and give you praise for all the blessings in our life. Lord help increase our faith, hope and love; so that we can be better servants of you and to help those that we are called to. Lord we pray for all those who are seeking meaning and purpose in their lives, may they find it with you. We ask this all through Christ our Lord. Amen.
