John the Baptist reminds us to proclaim the word of the Lord each and every day. The days of John the Baptist were limited as those who hated him grew more and more resentful of his message and while we do not know what tomorrow will bring we must, none the less, act as if today were our last day on earth.

I believe every one of us, knowing what I just said, would want to proclaim our love for those we care about in the most profound way we could. Jesus Christ is our guidepost for such a proclamation because He is the perfection of God’s love given to each and every one of us.

“Prepare ye the way of the Lord” is so much more than the opening line of a Godspell song. It is the opening line from the song we sing from our hearts each and every day. May this magnificent season of Christmas encourage this proclamation in every season of our lives.

In Christ,
