Judges 13:2-7.24-25, Ps 71, Luke 1:5-25

The births of Samson and John the Baptist

Today the births of these two men are announced by angels. Both were consecrated to God. Samson receiving great strength from God, protected his people from the Philistines. John the Baptist, full of the Holy Spirit and being the first prophet for many years, caused a spiritual revival through his preaching and baptism. These were ordinary men who cooperated with graces to do great things for God. What more can I do for God?
