So much of beautiful mystery surrounds the whole life of John the Baptist, from his very conception up until his tragic but triumphant death.Thanks for reading The Inscapist!
I wish someone had taught me these words at my confirmation: "Priests because we can unite our prayers up at Mass for those we love and for the whole Church, kings because we are rulers over our own actions and responsibilities before God, and prophets because by our actions and words we reveal to others the wonderful truths of the one whom we serve. " thank you for helping me understand my confirmation.
I always wonder about almost every baby and child I see: Who will he or she be?
I suspect that many mothers (and some fathers, too) of aborted babies ask that question in sorrow and pain wishing they could know….
I also wonder this sometimes. I pray for them a lot.

I had thought that the Holy Spirit infused St. Elizabeth with the knowledge that Mary was carrying the Messiah. Food for thought…
Of course! But I think her son was the physical sign of that moment!
