“In those days John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judea saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” –Matthew 3: 1-2
“A voice cries out: In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord…” — Isaiah 40:3
The “A” Cycle of the Church’s Liturgical Year highlights John the Baptizer—the forerunner and companion of Jesus.
With Matthew’s Gospel as our guide, we’ll reflect on John’s mission and his deep connection to Christ. Our retreat
day offers a chance to explore John as a source of hope and inspiration as we prepare for the coming Christmas season.
