Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In today’s Gospel, John the Baptist points to Jesus and declares, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” With these words, John reveals Jesus as the one who comes with humility and love to take away the sin of the world. Jesus does not arrive with power or spectacle, but as a servant who offers himself completely for our salvation.

Isaiah reminds us that God’s chosen servant is called to be a light to the nations. In Christ, that light shines gently but powerfully. As we move through Ordinary Time, we are invited to recognize Jesus at work in our everyday lives and, like John the Baptist, to point others toward Him through lives of faith, humility, and love.

Love,

Fr. Jason
