Homélie de l'Année A #Jean-Le-Baptiste

On this Sunday of the Word of God, Christ calls us to leave our securities to bring the Gospel to the "peripheries." Following the example of John the Baptist's self-effacement, Jesus' missionary zeal towards Galilee of the Gentiles, and the radical renunciation of the first apostles, we are invited to become bearers of light.

On this second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A), the figure of John the Baptist invites us to recognize in Jesus the true Lamb of God. Faithful to his mission prophesied by Isaiah, John presents to the world the One who transcends history: the eternal Word incarnate, the only Son of the Father and the universal Savior.
