The Nativity Of Saint John The Baptist

In 2012 and 2007, the feast day fell on a Sunday, which created the opprotunity for these sermons:

• The Wanted but Unexpected Son by Fr Mead (2012)
• John the Forerunner by Fr Mead (2007)

You might also find these other recent sermons about John the Baptist helpful:

• A Lesson from the Book of Revaluation (2012) by Fr Spurlock
• How’s the Topography of your Soul? (2012) by Fr Mead
• A Prophet for Christmas (2012) by Fr Spurlock
• The Dancing Girl (2012) by Fr Daniels

Note how the calendar works. Today we celebrate the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, which means he was less than one month from birth when Mary visited Elizabeth, which we celebrated on The Feast of the Visitation on May 31, a time when John is said to have leaped in the womb of his mother at the arrival of Mary carrying Jesus.
