The Nativity of St. John the Baptist

We all think that saints are special. However, allow Sistertech to let you in on a little secret. Some of them were more embraceable (in every sense of the word) as infants than they were as adults. John is a perfect example. It’s not that Sistertech doesn’t admire John. She does. It’s just that he’s got this “grumpy old uncle” vibe going on. Frankly, I only visit him when other angels are present, too. It helps to deflect the force of John’s preaching which is still quite intense. Yes. Even after all these years.

Now, when he was a baby! That’s another thing entirely. Cute beyond belief! Cuddly, too. So happy birthday JB!

Psalm 80:14-19

14 Turn again, O God of hosts;
look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,
15 the stock that your right hand planted.
16 They have burned it with fire, they have cut it down;
may they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
17 But let your hand be upon the one at your right hand,
the one whom you made strong for yourself.
18 Then we will never turn back from you;
give us life, and we will call on your name.

19 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved.
