S11E13: Seeking the Child Jesus, Finding the Messias

Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Titus, offers prayers for Aurora, recently baptized niece of one of our long-time listeners. We beg the intercession of St. John the Baptist on behalf of this new handmaiden of God, her parents, her godparents, and her entire family that they might serve God well, bring forth fruit worthy of penance for themselves and those near to them, and raise her to be a Saint. Today's reflection is on seeking Christ, and the way the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph seeking the lost child Jesus mirror the Hebrews awaiting and seeking after their Messias, not finding Him in the warrior kings and rebels whom they followed, and largely rejecting Him when He manifested as Jesus, the humble Galilean who preached Penance and Salvation to all nations.
