Today’s homily: The Octave Day of the Nativity of St John the Baptist (2025)

The Octave Day of St John the Baptist recalls his prophetic mission, foretold by Isaias and fulfilled in the naming and circumcision on the eighth day. His hidden life prepared him to proclaim Christ boldly. Like John, we are called to decrease so that Christ may increase, embracing silence, penance, and witness. Today marks the end of his octave, yet the call to prepare the way of the Lord continues in every Christian soul.
