Solemnity of St. John the Baptist. John was God's "secret weapon" to prepare people for the coming of the Lord. Similarly, we should pave the way for those we know and meet to receive the Lord. And to do this we need to follow John's advice: we must "decrease" so that Christ can increase. St. Malachy's Church - The Actors' Chapel, W. 49th St. & Broadway, New York City, 6:00 pm Sunday Mass.
