From the Pastor To Open Hearts to God
Dear Parishioners, This Sunday is one of the few occasions in which a feast of a Saint, different from the Lord’s or the Blessed Virgin Mary, takes precedence over the regular Sundays of Ordinary Time. As this Sunday falls on June 24, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist. Being one of God’s prophets wasn’t a safe calling, but then Jesus’ life wasn’t a safe one either. At one point, Jesus told his Twelve Apostles: “Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 11:11). Prophets in the Old Testament such as Isaiah, Jeremiah and others whom we often hear from in our first readings, were called by God to proclaim his teachings and his will for us in order to guide and direct us. Generally speaking, prophets were rejected, and sometimes put to death by the powerful and elite. What made John the Baptist the greatest of all of the prophets, as Jesus declared? Was it his personality? No. Was it the ascetical life that he lived? No. What made him the greatest of all of the prophets was the role that he played in the great drama of our salvation. He was the one who heralded [Jesus’] coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel, as we heard today. He was the one who would – quite literally – point to Jesus as the Lamb of God (cf., John 1:29). It was the role of John the Baptist to point out the tremendous reality of God's Word made flesh and dwelling among us. John the Baptist showed us that God's chosen one – God's Christ, God's anointed one – was actually here. No other prophet had that privilege. No other prophet could point to God's living presence among us in actuality. Each one of us shares in John's prophetic calling, through our baptism. By our lives, by our words, by our deeds, we, too, are called by God to manifest his presence in our lives. We are called to point out to others that Jesus Christ is alive and well, risen from the dead and present to those around us. None of us will ever be the greatest prophet. But that does not mean we cannot be a very, very good one. In Jesus and Mary,
Queridos Feligreses, Este domingo es una de las pocas ocasiones en que una fiesta de un santo diferente del Señor o de la Santísima Virgen María toma precedencia
de los Domingos regulares del Tiempo Ordinario. Como este domingo cae el 24 de junio,
celebramos la solemnidad de la natividad de San Juan Bautista.
Ser uno de los profetas de Dios no era una vocación segura, pero tampoco la vida de Jesús
era segura. En un momento dado, Jesús le dijo a sus Doce Apóstoles: En verdad, te digo, que
entre los nacidos de mujeres no ha nacido nadie más grande que Juan el Bautista (Mateo 11:11).
Los profetas en el Antiguo Testamento como Isaías, Jeremías y otros a quienes escuchamos a menudo en nuestras primeras lecturas fueron
llamados por Dios para proclamar sus enseñanzas y su voluntad para nosotros a fin de guiarnos y dirigirnos. En términos generales, los
profetas fueron rechazados y, a veces, ejecutados por los poderosos y la élite.
¿Qué hizo a Juan el Bautista el más grande de todos los profetas, como lo declaró Jesús? ¿Era su personalidad? No. ¿Fue la vida ascética que
vivió? No. Lo que lo hizo el más grande de todos los profetas fue el papel que jugó en el gran
drama de nuestra salvación. Él fue quien anunció [la llegada de Jesús] proclamando un
bautismo de arrepentimiento a todo el pueblo de Israel, como escuchamos hoy. Él era quien,
literalmente, señalaría a Jesús como el Cordero de Dios (véase Juan 1:29).
Fue el papel de Juan el Bautista el señalar la tremenda realidad de la Palabra de Dios hecha carne y habitar entre nosotros. Juan el Bautista nos mostró que el elegido de Dios - el Cristo de
Dios, el ungido de Dios - estaba realmente aquí. Ningún otro profeta tenía ese privilegio. Ningún otro profeta podría señalar la presencia viva de
Dios entre nosotros en realidad. Cada uno de nosotros comparte el llamado
profético de Juan, a través de nuestro bautismo. Por nuestras vidas, por nuestras palabras, por
nuestras obras, nosotros también somos llamados por Dios para manifestar su presencia
en nuestras vidas. Estamos llamados a señalar a otros que Jesucristo está vivo y bien, resucitado
de los muertos y presente a quienes nos rodean. Ninguno de nosotros será el mayor profeta. Pero
eso no significa que no podamos ser muy, muy buenos.
En Jesús y María,

“Unbound gives me an opportunity to help connect people with our brothers and sisters in poorer parts of the world. It has also been a wonderful way to experience the church today around the country.”
Ordained in New Hampshire, Fr. ‘Rick’ LaBrecque is a priest for the Diocese of Charleston, South Carolina. Most of his priesthood has been spent serving the Spanish speaking community, and he found the experience of helping to
introduce Hispanic ministry to a traditional U.S. parish particularly rewarding. He has also served in vocations work, communications and continuing education, as well as organizing mission trips for parishioners to Honduras. In his spare time, he enjoys traveling and reading.
