John the
Baptist's mission was to announce the Messiah. This he did by telling
others that this was the Son of God, the Christ whom God had promised to
send to the people. Filled
with the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert for 40
days.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
Blessed are thou among
women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus who gives us new life.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
