Birth of St. John the Baptist

Before a child is born,

Parents often have dreams of what their child will be.

Before his birth, The Lord had a dream for John the Baptist.

To be a sharp edged sword; A polished arrow;

To be a light to the nations,

So that salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.

Before we were born,

God had a dream for each one of us.

Like John the Baptist

God has prepared us and given us the gifts necessary.

To fulfill our calling.

We know what John’s calling was,

But do we know what our is,

What our calling is from before we were born?

Have we fulfilled dream that God had for us.

Before we were even conceived?
