...by Allison of Totus Tuus Family & Catholic Homeschooling. It is a book meme, and here are the rules:
Pass this on to 5 blogging friends. Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56. Write the 5th sentence, as well as two to five sentences following that.

John, despite the prophecies that were made about him, disclaimed that he was the Messiah and claimed that he was only:
"I am a voice crying out in the wilderness." --John 1:23"
And there you have it. How very appropriate for this first Sunday of Advent!
