Saint Augustine points out that the Church celebrates the birth of John the Baptist as something sacred and he is in fact the only saint whose day of birth is celebrated.
We celebrate the birth of John and that of Christ. John leaps in Elizabeth's womb because he recognises our Saviour.
John points out The Lord to his own followers " Behold, The Lamb of God".
It was John who baptised Jesus and thereby set baptism as the entry point into God's Holy Church. Do we "leap" at The Consecration and Elevation recognising Our saviour?
Do we encourage others to go to Jesus?
What have we made of our own Baptism?
Is it too early to look forward to the Coming of Christ in 6 months time?
