Today the Church gathers in joyful reverence for the Synaxis of St. John the Baptist, the Forerunner who prepared the way of the Lord with courage, humility, and unwavering devotion.
On this day, we honor John not only as the baptizer of Christ, but as the voice crying out in the wilderness, calling every generation to repentance, renewal, and readiness. His life reminds us that true greatness is found in pointing others to Jesus.
As we reflect on his witness, may we learn to speak truth with love, to walk in humility, and to make room in our hearts for the One who comes to save.
βHe must increase, but I must decrease.β β St. John the Baptist (John 3:30)
Blessed feast to all who celebrate. May the Forerunnerβs bold faith inspire us to live with clarity, compassion, and courage today. πβοΈπ
