Turn the Hearts of Fathers to Their Children

Turn the Hearts of Fathers to Their Children

The gospel today tells the story of the birth of John the Baptist. Tomorrow is Christmas eve, when most of the world will begin celebrating the birth of baby Jesus later in the evening or at midnight Mass. But, many people do not know that John the Baptist himself has a feast day celebrating his birth on June 24th each year. It is called the Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist. It is fitting today though, that it is not the Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist.
