Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today is the Solemnity of the Birth of St. John the Baptist. As we read the “utterances” of Jesus, given in St. Louis De Montfort’s, Chap.12 of “The Love of Eternal Wisdom” we hear in some ways how St. Louis, like John the Baptist sought to “prepare the Way of the Lord” - to enter our hearts.
    1. Whoever commits sin becomes the servant and slave of sin, and the servant does not remain in the house for ever. Jn. 8:34-35.
      35. Whoever is faithful in small things will be faithful in the greater; and whoever is dishonest in small things will be yet more dishonest in greater things. Lk. 16:10.
      36. It is more likely that heaven and earth should perish than that one detail of the law should not be accomplished. Lk. 16:17.
      37. Your light must shine before men so that they will see your good works and they will glorify your Father who is in heaven. Mt. 5:16.
  2. Code: 
    38. If your virtue is no better than that of the scribes and pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:20.
    39. If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; for it is better for you to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell. Mt. 5:29.
    40. The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and only those who are violent can take it by force. Mt. 11:12.
    41. Do not store up a treasure on earth to be destroyed by moths and rust or stolen by thieves; rather store up a treasure in heaven which no one can steal. Mt. 6:19.
   42. Do not judge, and you will not be judged; for God will judge you in the same way as you judge others. Mt. 7:1.
    1. Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but who in their hearts are ravenous wolves; you will recognise them by their fruits. Mt. 7:15.
    2. Beware of showing contempt for any of my little ones; their angels see the face of my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 18:10.
    3. Be on the watch, for you do not know the day or the hour when the Lord will come. Mt. 25:13

Come Holy Spirit, prepare us for the Final Coming of Jesus. Mary, Mother of the Church, may the sound of your voice enable us to leap for joy as John the Baptist leapt in the womb of his Mother when you visited her, bearing Jesus in your womb.
