Prayer · Scripture · Reflection
Catholic reflections rooted in Scripture and the faith of the Church — quiet places to linger, pray, and look again at mysteries we may have passed by too quickly.
A reflection on the words of Saint John the Baptist
“The latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.” — John 1:27
John's words open a meditation on humility before Christ, the mystery of His Incarnation, and the astonishment of a God who comes near to those who know they are unworthy.
The Lord before whom John would not stoop, stoops before His disciples
“He putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples.” — John 13:5
From the Incarnation to the Last Supper, the Cross, the Eucharist, and the wedding feast of the Lamb, Christ reveals divine greatness through an astonishing humility of service and self-gift.
