St. John the Baptist
The greatest Herald of all time was St. John the Baptist. The first time he and Jesus met, they were not even born yet! But at the moment John heard Mary greeting his mother, Elizabeth, he leapt in Elizabeth’s womb. He was announcing that Jesus was near. St. John spent years in the desert eating locusts and wild honey and learning the truths of God from the Holy Spirit, his constant Friend and Guide.
John was being prepared in a special way for his important mission. St. John came out of the desert and began to teach the people. He announced that Jesus had come into the world, and would soon be with them to share the love of the Father in Heaven. St. John helped the people prepare to receive Jesus by being sorry for their sins.
He helped them become ready to know and love Jesus, and serve him by sharing the truth about God with others! Finally the time came and Jesus came to John and asked that he baptize him. John did not feel worthy but Jesus wanted to make water holy so that we could be baptized too. Then John said, “He must increase and I must decrease.” People stopped following John and started following Jesus. St. John the Baptist’s mission was complete!
