Dear Friends

Luke's Gospel says that John the Baptist was born about 6 months before Jesus,
so we celebrate John's birthday today, 6 months before Christmas

The birth of any baby is a time of great joy, but John's birth was especially happy
since his mother was "unable to have a baby"

Luke says that 6 month old John jumped in his mother Elizabeth's womb
when Mary and just-conceived Jesus in her womb visited Elizabeth

John "recognised" Jesus....and went on to prepare a way for Jesus

May we also recognise Jesus more clearly, more often,
especially in the Scriptures and in the poor

Then we too will experience something of John's joy

My personal effort: I've been trying, when visiting prisoners and the sick,
to remember that I'm actually visiting Jesus. 
When I put my hand on their head or shoulder for a prayer,
I try to remember I'm actually "touching" Jesus,
and I say in my heart/mind "The Body of Christ"
and answer "Amen"!

------

On this 24th of the month, Jesus please bless the people of Inner Mongolia
(Please join me in praying for one part of China each day of the month)

My Bible Plan for today = The readings for the Birth of John the Baptist

Thank you for a prayer

God bless!
