E-MINDER: the Church of the Incarnation

← PREVIOUS EMINDER | NEXT EMINDER →

THE WEEK OF JUNE 24 – JULY 1, 2007

 

Today, the church celebrates the birth of John the Baptist.  The image below is a photograph of our baptismal font at the Church of the Incarnation.  In the middle of the font stands “a bronze statue of a youthful John the Baptist, … made by the Irish-born American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who also was responsible for the statue of General Sherman at the entrance of Central Park.”

Almighty God, by whose providence your servant John the Baptist was wonderfully born, and sent to prepare the way of your Son our Savior by preaching repentance: Make us so to follow his teaching and holy life, that we may truly repent according to his preaching; and, following his example, constantly speak the truth, boldly rebuke vice, and patiently suffer for the truth's sake; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
