The Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist (Memorial)

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Jeremiah 1:17-19 Psalm 71:1-6, 15, 17 Mark 6:17-29 Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than not fearing danger. When a person puts himself in an occasion of sin, saying, " I shall not fall", it is almost an infallible sign that he will fall, and with great injury to his soul. We must specifically and regularly pray for God's assistance and not rely on our own strength. -- St. Phillip Neri

[Smartass]

Therefore put on the full armor of God,
so that when the day of evil comes,
you may be able to stand your ground,
and after you have done everything, to stand.
Ephesians 6:13
