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."
