In this Sunday’s Gospel, we return to the beginning of

Jesus’ mission. The humble witness of John the Baptist

gave people a sense that something exciting was about

to happen.

John the Baptist is one of the best known saints. He never

pushed himself forward. He encouraged his own followers

to leave him and become followers of Jesus. His life

(and death) witnessed to the truth about Jesus and, because

of him, many people came to know and follow Jesus.

Our schools and parishes are founded in the name

of Jesus and they continue to share Jesus’ message,

giving witness to God’s love for all people.

Today, we too can be great witnesses. Enjoy spending

a special time together exploring this Sunday’s Gospel

and this Wednesday’s word, which is WITNESS.
