God specially chose St. John the Baptist for the role of heralding the arrival of the Messiah, starting from the moment he leaped in the womb of his mother when Mary arrived carrying Jesus in her womb.
Because of the coming of Jesus into our world, we all have a special role to play in announcing the Good News of salvation, and John is our example because his life was devoted to pointing toward the Messiah.
Jesus Christ has bestowed His grace and has transformed us. Now, by faith, we can live abundantly, with purpose, and participate in the mission to build the Kingdom of God on Earth showing how God is making the earth anew.
