The Vigil of St. John the Baptist (23 June): Speak the Truth

About this sermon

On the Vigil of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, we reflect upon one of the greatest prophets who ever lived—a fearless witness to Jesus Christ who proclaimed the truth without compromise. St. John the Baptist boldly declared: "Behold the Lamb of God." He confronted sin, called sinners to repentance, and even rebuked King Herod, saying: "It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife." In today's world, Christians are increasingly pressured to remain silent about the truth regarding sin, marriage, family, and God's commandments. Yet the Gospel never changes. In this reflection we consider: • Why St. John the Baptist remains a model for Catholics today • Courage in proclaiming the truth with charity • The Church's teaching on repentance and conversion • Protecting marriage and the family • Praying for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary • Calling upon St. John the Baptist to intercede for our world May we imitate the courage of St. John the Baptist and always point souls toward Jesus Christ—the true Lamb of God.
