friends. In the hustle and bustle the first thing that I seem to forget, or put
on the back burner, is my intentional prayer life. I believe this gospel is call-
ing me to a spirituality like that of John the Baptist. "Behold, I am sending
my messenger ahead of you, he will prepare your way before you." John
came, a herald of Jesus. Jesus came calling all of us to love. As I bake cook-
ies and prepare gifts I hope to be like John a herald of Jesus.
Prayer
Dear God,
Help me To be like John the Baptist making a path for the Prince of peace.
Amen
