Significant example of how John stayed focus in his godly vocation. I pray to stay focus at my crossroads of deeper understanding of God’s Word through Catholicism. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I am so thankful for each one of you that bring us our lessons each day. The “back story” of what so much of what we read brings to me that “ah ha” moment where true understanding begins.

Wow, that's so cool. I saw the Dead Sea Scrolls a few years ago. Its fascinating to think of the connection with St.John the Baptist and his connection to our Lord.

This is creepy to my birth my mother had children before me but for sometime she was infertile and when she found out she was pregnant with me she had been told she could not have children anymore do to her old age (my closest brother is 7 years older than me) also my mother chose my name and argued with her and my fathers family of what I would be named
