When Our Lord allowed himself to be baptized in the Jordan and began his public ministry he had a ready-made following in the crowds that John the Baptist had been instructing. Yet John did not want to keep any of his popularity for himself, and stood back so that Jesus could take over from him. So it is appropriate that this window in our Lymington church which is dedicated to this incredibly humble man is close to the altar, yet is hidden from the view of many of the congregation. It is his feast day on Friday June 24th. We ask this greatest of the sons of women to pray that in some small way our blog may help to encourage a few souls by showing how the love of God works through the lives of the Christian people of Lymington and Brockenhurst.
