The Nativity of John the baptist

                                                                 Psalm 98:1
Sing 
to the Lord 
a new song, for he has done marvelous things. 

We most often celebrate the day of a saint’ s death, but for John the Baptist , the bridge be-tween the Old and the New, the forerunner 
of his cousin Jesus, we celebrate his birth 
as well as the day he died, beheaded for speak
-ing truth to power. Being childless myself and found miraculously to be “the joyful mother of chil-dren,."  I celebrate this new thing, this miracle birth that changed so much in the lives of Eliz-abeth and Zechariah, and in ours as well.  My Mom used to say "Watch out what you pray for, 
you might get it."
