WHY IS ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST CALLED GREAT MAN 

John the Baptist did not do any Great Miracles or Wonders, Yet Jesus Called John the Baptist a Great man, All that John did was he Pointed out at Jesus - John saw Jesus coming to him, and Pointed him out as "Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29

The Greatness of All Christians is in Simply Telling Others (Unbelievers) about Christ. Christians Pointing at the Greatness of Jesus Christ - What Christ has Done for us and not what we are doing for Christ.

Jesus Called John the Baptist a Great man 
"I can guarantee this truth: Of all the people ever born, no one is greater than John the Baptizer. Mat 11:11

The Boldness of John the Baptist - Mat 14

St. John the Baptist, the greatest man born of woman, according to Jesus, certainly told Herod that it was wrong for him to have married his own brother's wife. And John the Baptist was certainly not judging Herod himself, but rather, he was judging his action as sinful. Our job as Catholics is to admonish the sinner. The "spiritual works of mercy" demands it! To admonish the sinner means to caution him or her about a particular sin they are committing. This is the job of all Catholics, is to warn others about sin and where it will lead them.

Today's Generation: You Don't Teach me....... Correct me...... Judge me.........

Admonishing the Sinner. The "Spiritual Works of Mercy" Demands it

PRAYER (contemporary language)

Almighty God, by whose providence your servant John the Baptist Was wonderfully born, and sent to prepare the way of your Son our Savior by preaching repentance: Make us so to follow his teaching and holy life, that we may truly repent according to his preaching; and, following his example, constantly speak the truth, boldly rebuke vice, and patiently suffer for the truth's sake; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
