JOHN THE BAPTIST

Since June 24 falls on a Sunday this year, the Church has the opportunity for a more

intense celebration of the birth of John the Baptist, who is often described as the last of

the Old Testament prophets and the bridge between Judaism and Christianity. More

commonly, John is known as the “precursor” of our Lord Jesus Christ. All the Gospels

report John’s basic message: Repent, the kingdom is near at hand. One greater than I is

coming.

Though he was a wandering preacher who dressed in camel skins and ate

grasshoppers, John’s legacy is one of true royalty. His origins are similar to those foretold

by God through the prophet Isaiah: “You are my servant, he said to me, Israel through

whom I show my glory” (Isaiah 49:3). John’s humility—“I am not he”—was surpassed only

by that of his Lord Jesus, the humble servant who followed.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

It’s midsummer day! We have the advantage of celebrating one of the great hidden

treasures of our liturgical calendar on a Sunday this year. There are only three “nativity”

feasts on our calendar: for the Lord, the Blessed Mother (September 8), and today’s

birth of the Baptist. Today’s date is anchored by the Annunciation (March 25), when

Mary learns not only of her own child’s advent, but of Elizabeth’s child. We are exactly

half a year away from Christmas Eve. There are strong traditions around this feast. Just

as the winter solstice provides a rich vocabulary for Christmas, so does the abundance of

light at midsummer inform this celebration. Just as at Christmas, a religious festival spills

over into culture. As summer light reaches its peak, the sun-drenched zones of northern

Europe see people staying up all night, lighting “St. John’s fires” in the long summer

twilight. Bonfires seem to be the unifying force in all these celebrations, kindled along

the shores of the St. Lawrence in Quebec and Montreal, with harbor illuminations in

France. You may be most interested in the custom in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Baptist’s

own city. People there will leap into the sea between midnight and dawn to honor John.

Why not find your way to a pool, a lake, or a sandy beach today and plunge in to recall

your baptism? It’s a tradition!
