On June 24, we celebrate The Nativity of John the Baptist, the prophet and forerunner of Jesus. John the Baptizer is the only saint whose birth and martyrdom are both marked in the church calendar. When I was first considering becoming a priest, I went on a discernment retreat at Richmond Hill. Before becoming an ecumenical community and retreat center, Richmond Hill was a convent of the Catholic Sisters of the Visitation of Mary. All the rooms bear the names of saints and a Latin motto beneath them. I stayed in a room marked St. John the Baptist. "Contemptus mundi" read the motto, "contempt of the world." John preached the coming of the Messiah, rejecting the world's greed, cruelty, violence, and injustice. I thought, "I'm in the right place." [KL] |

Barnabas was not only Paul's traveling companion in mission. According to the book of Acts, it was Barnabas who brought Paul to the apostles, and declared to them how, on the road to Damascus, Paul had seen the Lord, and had preached boldly in the name of Jesus (Acts 9:27). He more than lived up to his name "son of encouragement." |
