6: St John the Baptist Solemnity & Reflection

On June 24th, the Catholic Church honors Saint John the Baptist, whom Jesus called the greatest born of women. John's divine purpose was prophesied by Isaiah and Malachi, and he is recognized for his call to repentance and his role in identifying Jesus as the Lamb of God. His profound humility, encapsulated in his declaration "He must increase; I must decrease," serves as a foundational virtue for Catholics, emphasizing the importance of humility in spiritual growth and relationship with God.
