The Nativity of St. John the Baptist
June 23/24, 2018

Sunday we celebrate the birth of St. John the Baptist. This prophet, who practiced austerity in the desert, proclaimed the kingdom of God, a coming judgment, and baptism as a sign of repentance. With deep humility, John directed attention not to himself but to Jesus. John's attitude was, "He must increase, I must decrease" (John 3:30). John's birth, days after the summer solstice, when daylight hours begin to decrease, contrasts with Jesus' birth days after the winter solstice, heralding daylight's increase. Like John the Baptist, stewards turn attention away from themselves and toward Jesus. The stewardship question for us is whether or not we ourselves are prepared to "decrease" and allow Jesus to "increase" in our hearts, minds, words and actions.
