Very rarely does the Church celebrate a saint on two different days. We celebrate the birth of John the Baptist on June 24, and today August 29 his martyrdom. Jesus said of John the Baptist, “Of all men born of women, there is none greater than John the Baptist.” Father Ed Broom gives us three virtues of St. John the Baptist that we want to emulate in our pursuit of holiness.
Father Ed Broom, OMV, serves as Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens, California. He is a member of the Religious Order, Oblates of the Virgin Mary, and was ordained by Saint John Paul II in St Peter’s Basilica on May 25, 1986. Fr. Ed is a Retreat Master and teaches Catholic Ignatian Marian Spirituality through articles, podcasts, a radio show, retreats and spiritual direction. He is the author of three books: From Humdrum to Holy, Total. Consecration to Jesus through Mary though the Mysteries of the Rosary and Road Map to Heaven, A Catholic Plan of Life.
