STS basil the great and gregory nazianzen,

1 John 2:22-28; Ps 98:1.3cd-6; John 1:19-28

Make a straight way for the Lord

St John the Baptist was clear about his role as someone who was to prepare the way for the Lord. We are to be like him – people who do not compromise in our living of the Gospel. With God’s help may we remove from our lives those things that impede the growing of the Lord’s reign.
