Let us preach the words of God & be confident that it is the Holy Spirit who will convert the hardest of Hearts...YOU & ME, by our BAPTISM is called to be SOLDIERS OF GOD & PREACHER OF OUR ONE TRUE FAITH. "Vaya con Dios!" JOHN the BAPTIST was the son of Zachary, a priest of the Temple in Jerusalem, and Elizabeth, a kinswoman of Mary who visited her. He was probably born at Ain-Karim southwest of Jerusalem after the Angel Gabriel had told Zachary that his wife would bear a child even though she was an old woman. (catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=152) It is said that, at the age of thirty, John started to preach on the banks of the river Jordan. He preached against the evils of the time and attracted men to penance and baptism. His only message to people was to repent, as the Lord was coming.
