We Listen... A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (3:16, 18) John said, “I’m just baptising with water. But someone more powerful is going to come, and I am not good enough even to untie his sandals. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” In many different ways John preached the good news to the people. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. We Reflect... John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus, telling the people to turn back to God, and promising them that someone special was coming. Watch this video, John the Baptist Baptises Jesus and conclude with a short prayer for all those people preparing for baptism. May the peace of Christ dwell in our hearts. Amen. May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. We Go into the World... TUESDAY 24 JUNE 2025 The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist We Gather...
