Are you Elijah?\u201d\u00a0And he said, \u201cI am not.\u201d\u00a0\u201cAre you the Prophet?\u201d He answered, \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0So they said to him, \u201cWho are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us?\u00a0What do you have to say for yourself?\u201d He said: \u201cI am\u00a0<em>the voice of one crying out in the desert, \u2018Make straight the way of the Lord,\u2019 <\/em>as Isaiah the prophet said.\u201d Some Pharisees were also sent.\u00a0They asked him, \u201cWhy then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?\u201d\u00a0John answered them, \u201cI baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.\u201d\u00a0This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer: <\/strong>Lord, transport me to Bethany across the Jordan as I reflect on this prophecy of John the Baptist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>\u201cWho Are You?\u201d:<\/strong> When John the Baptist was asked this question by the Jews from Jerusalem, he knew how to answer. He told them who he was NOT! He was not the Messiah, not Elijah, not a prophet. Do we know who we are NOT? Of course, we know we\u2019re not God, right? But isn\u2019t that exactly how we act when we take on difficult circumstances without praying first? Or judge someone offhandedly? Or put our agenda before the person\u2019s standing in front of us? Lord, you told Saint Catherine of Siena, \u201cYou are she is not; whereas I am he who is.\u201d I am nothing and can do nothing without God (cf. Jn 15:5).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who Are <em>You<\/em>?:<\/strong> \u201cI am a voice of one crying out in the desert&#8230;\u201d John the Baptist chose to identify himself to his inquisitors by stating his mission. How would you respond? \u201cI\u2019m the person riding the subway with ashes on my forehead. I am the one quietly saying the rosary on the plane. I am the shopper smiling at strangers in the store for love of you.\u201d In our own way, each of us is called to be a missionary to this modern desert of contemporary society. Our mission is an essential aspect of our identity as Christians: \u201cThe missionary who, despite all his or her human limitations and defects, lives a simple life, taking Christ as the model, is a sign of God and of transcendent realities\u2026.everyone in the Church, striving to imitate the Divine Master, can and must bear this kind of witness; in many cases it is the only possible way of being a missionary\u201d (Saint John Paul II, <em>Redemptoris Missio<\/em>, 42).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Greatest: <\/strong>John the Baptist was the greatest among those born to women, Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 11:11, \u201cyet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he\u2026\u201d Like John, Saints Basil and Gregory, whose feast we celebrate today, were truly great men: best friends, bishops, and doctors of the Church. Saint Gregory said of their friendship, \u201c\u2026our great pursuit, the great name we wanted, was to be Christians, to be called Christians.\u201d He said that the two friends had a single objective: \u201cvirtue, and a life of hope in the blessings that are to come\u2026\u201d We were all born to be great (i.e., saints in heaven), whether we\u2019re locust-eating preachers, bishop besties, or ordinary twenty-first century Catholics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord, greatness is nothing more than personal holiness, which leads to sainthood. Help me, Lord, to know and fulfill my mission, whether I am witnessing, like John the Baptist, or striving to be a good friend, in imitation of Saints Gregory and Basil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on my most fruitful friendships.
