August 29, 2011 The Memorial of the Martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist

Jesus, the life of saint John the Baptist frightens me...He gave up everything and stopped at nothing to testify to your glory. He lived a hard life, and then was murdered for his convictions.  I like my comfortable life...a little too much...show me today how I may be like John the Baptist today, how I can decrease so that you may increase.  Help especially today to teach my children selflessness. Amen

He must increase, while I must decrease Jn 3:30
