For a more enriching experience,
go down on your knees to pray or take it one step further
and prostrate yourself (lay face down) on the floor while praying.
Father, it is wonderful thing to be a rebel such as John the Baptist and Jesus standing in what they know to be Good and right even when it is not popular. Their rebellion was out of sheer obedience to You. They knew Your Word and followed It to the letter as radical and rebellious as it may have seemed to others. Father, please enhance my intuitive-hearing and my audible-hearing so that I may grab and grasp every single word that You intend for me to hear and share with others.
Through Jesus Christ's Precious Blood, Most Sacred Name and Most Holy Face. ~Amen
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matthew 11:11-15
[Jesus said to them . . . ]
11 "Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
13 All the prophets and the law prophesied up to the time of John.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is to come.
15 Whoever has ears ought to hear."
The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ
