St. John the Baptist, He Must Increase – Jun 24 – Homily – Fr Terrance

 

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Jun 24, 2020, on the solemnity of the Birth of St. John the Baptist, reflecting on the role of the Baptists' and his message of moral repentance, but whose greatness was truly seen when he pointed to Jesus the Messiah and said "He must increase and I must decrease", pointing to the surest way of sanctification, which is humility in Christ.

Ave Maria!
