The Two Most Important Days in Our Lives: Birth and Purpose
The Homily focuses on the significance of the Nativity of John the Baptist, . . .
. . . one of only three birthdays celebrated in the Catholic liturgical calendar (the others being Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary).
The Homily highlights John’s miraculous birth through the prayers of his elderly parents, his divine calling from the womb, and his faithful fulfillment of his life’s purpose: to prepare the way for Christ and bear witness to the truth.
There are Two Crucial Days in Each Person’s Life
The Homily also emphasizes the importance of discovering our God-given purpose, recalling that there are two crucial days in each person’s life . . . the day we are born and the day we understand why.
Through John’s example, the homily invites us to seek their purpose in God’s plan and to live it out with humility and faithfulness.

Quote From The Homily
And that is why there is this great saying, which says, there are two days true, important days in our life. The first one is when we are born. The second one is when we realize why we were born. The second one is when we realize the purpose that God has set for us and we start journeying towards that.
