Fourth Day within the Octave of St of John the Baptist (27 June) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On the Fourth Day within the Octave of St. John the Baptist, Dom Prosper Guéranger reflects upon the astonishing sanctity and unique mission of the Precursor of Christ. Sanctified before birth, filled with the Holy Ghost in his mother's womb, and chosen to prepare the way of the Messiah, St. John the Baptist occupies a singular place in salvation history. Dom Guéranger explains how the Baptist's life, humility, and intimate relationship with Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin reveal the beauty of God's eternal plan. In this meditation from The Liturgical Year, discover: • Why Christ declared that no greater man had been born of woman • St. John's sanctification in the womb • The Visitation and the Magnificat • The Blessed Virgin's role in forming St. John • The holiness of the Precursor • John as the Friend of the Bridegroom • His humility before Christ • His witness to the Lamb of God • Ancient liturgical hymns honoring St. John • Lessons for holiness today May St. John the Baptist obtain for us the grace of humility, courage, and fidelity to Jesus Christ. "He must increase, but I must decrease."
