Jn 3:22-30<\/p>\n

Jesus and his disciples went into the region of Judea, where he spent some time with them baptizing. John was also baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was an abundance of water there, and people came to be baptized, for John had not yet been imprisoned. Now a dispute arose between the disciples of John and a Jew
\nabout ceremonial washings. So they came to John and said to him, \u201cRabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing and everyone is coming to him.\u201d John answered and said, \u201cNo one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said that I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before him. The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom\u2019s voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. He must increase; I must decrease.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Reflection<\/em><\/p>\n

“Lifting our lives to others happens every time we speak or act in ways that make our lives for others.\u00a0 When we are fully able to embrace our own lives, we discover that what we claim we also want to proclaim.”\u00a0 A life well held is indeed a life for others.\u00a0 We stop wondering whether our life is better or worse than others and start seeing clearly that when we live our life for others we not only claim our individuality but also proclaim our unique place in the human family.” <\/em>— Henri Nouwen<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Prayer<\/em><\/p>\n

Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

O God, with your judgment endow the king,
\nand with your justice, the king\u2019s son;
\nHe shall govern your people with justice
\nand your afflicted ones with judgment.
\nLord, every nation on earth will adore you.<\/strong>
\nThe mountains shall yield peace for the people,
\nand the hills justice.
\nHe shall defend the afflicted among the people,
\nsave the children of the poor.
\nLord, every nation on earth will adore you.<\/strong>
\nJustice shall flower in his days,
\nand profound peace, till the moon be no more.
\nMay he rule from sea to sea,
\nand from the River to the ends of the earth.
\nLord, every nation on earth will adore you.<\/strong>
