Father Simon Says - June 23, 2022 - Who is John the Baptist?

Lk 1:57-66, 80 Father explains who John the Baptist is and who the Essenes were Word of the Day: Mute Callers  What does in persona Christi mean?  Which disciples of John became apostles of Jesus? Is communion in the Catholic church the same as Evangelical church? Why was John called the least in heaven by Jesus? Before going on a trip my niece received communion from a neighbor but my niece is not baptized. Was that bad?  Is it a sin if you lied to your husband in order to save the marriage? Someone told me Jesus had brothers and sisters. How do I respond to that? How does a priest rise in the ranks?
