His father was Zachary, a priest in Jerusalem, and his mother was Elizabeth, a kinswoman of the Virgin Mary. He lived as a hermit in the desert of Judea until 27. He began to preach along the banks of the Jordan River. It was John who baptized Jesus and pointed him out as "The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." Herod had John imprisoned because the Baptist had condemned the ruler's marriage to his brother's wife, who told her daughter to ask for the head of John the Baptist had condemned the ruler's marriage to his brother's wife, who told her daughter to ask for the head of John the Baptist as a way of revenge. John's death is celebrated by a feast, because it resembles in so many ways the death of Jesus. O God, make us faithful to truth and justice as you did your servant, John the Baptist, herald of your Son's birth and death. Throw your cares on the Lord (Psalm 55) O that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest; Truly, I would flee far away; I would lodge in the wilderness. I would hurry to find a shelter for myself From the raging wind and tempest. Confuse, O Lord, confound their speech. For I see violence and strife in the city. Day and night they go around it on its walls; And iniquity and trouble are within it. Cast your burden on the Lord, And he will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
