Rev. Fr. David Okolie

Dearest friends,

It’s wonderful to see people becoming more enthusiastic about celebrating their birthdays. However, let’s be mindful of our actions and the influences around us during these celebrations. Unfortunately, some individuals have fallen into grave sins and heinous crimes during birthday parties.

Remember the biblical account of John the Baptist’s beheading, which occurred at a birthday celebration when a girl’s seductive dance led to a misguided request, fueled by her adulterous mother (cf. Mark 6:14-29).

So, dearest friends, when you celebrate your birthday, do it in a way that attracts God’s blessings, not offends Him.

St. John the Baptist, pray for us๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Remain blessed๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
