John the Baptist in tatter
Gospel of Mark Ch 6 v- 25 thru 29
25 The girl hurried back to the king’s presence and made her request, “I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 26 The king was deeply distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests he did not wish to break his word to her. 27 So he promptly dispatched an executioner with orders to bring back his head. He went off and beheaded him in the prison. 28 He brought in the head on a platter and gave it to the girl. The girl in turn gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

| The central act of devotional life in the Catholic Church is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The sacrifice of the Mass is the unbloody repetition of the Sacrifice of the Cross. On the Cross of Calvary Christ gave his life to redeem the world. The life of Christ was a life of sacrifice. The life of a Christian must be a life of sacrifice. We cannot imitate the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary by trying to get all we can. We can only imitate the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary by trying to give all we can.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty we pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. Silence for the prayers of others dealing with the war in Ukraine. In the Holy Spirit we pray our brothers in Kairos the especially a prayer for our men in blue. We pray for Holy Mother Church.

**John the Baptist in tatter**
Hurrying girl request made
Baptist head platter give
Distressed deeply was king’s state
Word break not king did
Ordering executioner dispatched promptly
Head of John bring back
Prison ordered killer beheading quickly
Girl received platter body of John it lacked
Mother of girl given head’s platter
His open eyes didn’t seem to matter
Disciples heard responding to the chatter
Tomb laid they John the Baptist in tatter
