PRAYER

Rev. Ronald Patrick Raab, C.S.C.

O God of our longing, you sent John the Baptist to proclaim your kingdom amid our human divisions. Even in his horrific death, John foreshadowed the path of Jesus’ passion, death, and resurrection. May we hear the message of Jesus Christ with intrigue and hope. May the voice of love speak beyond our earthly grudges and instincts of violence. May hope ring out in our world as to imitate John the Baptist and point our lives in the direction of Jesus, the Christ. Amen.
