Be a Pointer to Jesus

On the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, Fr. Miguel reflects on the great Forerunner’s mission: to point everyone toward Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.From the desert to the banks of the Jordan, John the Baptist’s entire life was about directing people away from himself and toward Christ. Fr. Miguel reminds us that we too are called to be “pointers” — priests at the elevation during Mass, and every baptized Christian guiding others to the Eucharist, Confession, and the Church.Even if we help only one soul reach heaven, it is worth every effort. As Mother Angelica taught, God looks at souls, not numbers.A powerful call during this season: Point people to the Lamb of God.St. John the Baptist, pray for us!
