The Importance Of John The Baptist

Can you name the 3 individuals whose birthdays are celebrated by the Catholic Church?  That's right...there are only 3!  Jesus, Mary and ... John the Baptist.  On this episode of Following The Truth, Catholic lay evangelist Gary Zimak will read and discuss the Mass readings for the Solemnity of the Birth of John the Baptist (which will be celebrated on Sunday, June 24).  Why does the Church celebrate John's birthday?  Tune in and we'll discuss.  In the first half of the show, Catholic lay evangelist Gary Zimak will look at "The Hidden Power of Kindness", a great book by the late Father Lawrence Lovasik.  How can be be kind to those who dislike and attack us?  Although it's difficult, it is possible and Gary will  offer concrete suggestions.  Today's discussion involves the topic of courtesy.  Lots of information will be coming your way in these 60 minutes, so be sure to listen in!
