Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for August 29 2006
Date: August 28, 2006 08:44 pm

Today's excerpt is from St. Bede:

"There is no doubt that blessed John suffered imprisonment and chains as a
witness to our Redeemer, whose forerunner he was, and gave his life for
him...Through his birth, preaching and baptising, he bore witness to the
coming birth, preaching and baptism of Christ, and by his own suffering he
showed that Christ also would suffer...John was baptised in his own blood,
though he had been privileged to baptise the Redeemer of the world, to
hear the voice of the Father above him, and to see the grace of the Holy
Spirit descending upon him. But to endure temporal agonies for the sake of
the truth was not a heavy burden for such men as John; rather it was
easily borne and even desirable, for he knew eternal joy would be his
reward." (From a homily by St. Bede the Venerable [Office of Readings])

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
