Cardinal Farrell: St. John the Baptist is a ‘witness to the sacredness of life’
Vatican City, Jun 23, 2022 / 02:30 am (CNA).
Cardinal Kevin Farrell said on Thursday that Saint John the Baptist is a witness to the sacredness of life from conception to natural death.
The Irish-American cardinal celebrated Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica for the Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist on June 23.
The Mass in English was part of the World Meeting of Families 2022, taking place in Rome from June 22-26 with families from around the world. Families are also encouraged to participate in the event from home via livestream.
Even before Saint John the Baptist was born, “at the moment of Mary’s greeting, [he] recognized the Lord Jesus and leaped for joy in Elizabeth’s womb,” Farrell said.
“A call from God reached him while he was still in the womb,” he noted. “It invested him with the great task of preparing the hearts of humankind to receive the Savior of the world.”
The cardinal, who leads the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life, which organized the World Meeting of Families, said Saint John’s reaction to encountering the unborn Jesus points to an important aspect of family life.
“All of this helps us to understand another key dimension of the family vocation,” he said, “to be guardians of the sacredness of human life from the first moment of conception to natural death.”
Saint John the Baptist’s birth is ordinarily celebrated on June 24, but is moved to June 23 when it coincides with the Feast of Corpus Christi or the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as happened this year.
In his homily, Cardinal Farrell, who is camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, reflected on the liturgy’s first reading, from the Prophet Isaiah.
“The Lord called me from birth, from my mother’s womb he gave me my name,” Farrell said, quoting Isaiah 49:1.
“The life of each child must be protected and defended precisely because God has great plans for that child’s goodness and holiness right from the beginning,” he said.
“God’s call has reached your children too,” he continued, “right from the beginning, so that all of them may be saints of tomorrow and will make our world a brighter place for all.”

It is good to return to the ultimate source of Christianity, by means of a prince of the Church’s homely. Sorry, I did not listen to the sermon, but the salient point, I trust been reported by Daniel Ibanez/CNA are all here. The quote Isaiah 49:1 says it all about the Precursor, who was truly the 2nd Christian after the Blessed Virgin Mary, the full of grace being Herself the 1st Christian.
What Cardinal Farrell “said” from the “homely I did not hear” is clearly that the unborn St. John the Baptist from the womb of his six months pregnant mother St. Elizabeth unequivocally identified the Christ Jesus who was at that moment a few days old embryo into His Mother. Zachary, the priest and father of John, if he had been able to speak, would have lauded to sacredness of life in the same way as Cardinal Farrell did (during the homely I did not hear). Alleluia!
From, this June 23, 2022 column of CNA Daily News – Europe (Reporter), we learn an important scoop for the immediate future of the counter-church of Rome, that Cardinal Kevin Farrell is the camerlengo, or chamberlain, of the apostolic chamber. The counter-church’s responsible, as opposed to the irresponsible ones, know that since the conclave of October 1958, under the direction of Cardinal Tisserand, the then camerlengo, began an apostate and uninterrupted series of six antipopes. Could it be that Cardinal Farrell, in the quality of camerlengo, will redress the illegitimate situation and miraculously allows the…

… Could it be that Cardinal Farrell, in the quality of camerlengo, will redress the illegitimate situation and miraculously allows the legitimate Vicar of Christ to assume his function as Sovereign Pontiff? This act would put and end to the eclipse of the Church.
This clumsy typing hand dares two scoops which may indicate some dramatic changes in favor of the restoration of the Roman Catholic Church.
#1: the date of the homely, which normally should have been June 24, as the feast of the birth of the Baptist has been exceptionally transferred on the day before, which is June 23. Here is a cabalistic sign of numerology: the number “23″ is considered “evil” because 2/3= .666 Should the homely of the cardinal camerlengo be a call from a ‘hellish prison cell’?
#2: the quote from the cardinal: “The Lord called me from birth, from my mother’s womb he gave me my name,” may indicate that the re-birth of the RCC is imminent. Please, remember what miracle followed when after the birth of the Baptist, when Zachary, confirmed in writing the name of John: Zachary, the priest and father of the Precursor was no longer mute: He spoke and glorified God.
This brainless daughter might not have explained herself well, but hopes that may be something prodigious/miraculous might happen soon that will liberate the Church.
Saint John the Baptist, pray for us!
