Give us Jesus, the readiness to follow you like the two disciples of John the Baptist who followed you immediately as soon as John pointed out to you saying you were the Lamb of God. We make this prayer through St. John the Baptist. Amen.
Midway to our celebration of the Cross and Easter, we reflect on how we are like the animals, tables and vendors in the temple, interfering with others\' finding the Lord. As individuals and as a community, we must repent. But we are called to more than guilt feelings.
