                St. John lived a life of minimalism. His life was far flung from modern materialistic and consumeristic society. Did you know that simple life facilitates growth in holiness. Simplicity and holiness are two sides of the same coin. Therefore simple life style has the power to uproot greed and stress in human life. Simplicity also gives you the strength to be courageous for the enemy cannot destroy your belongings because you have none.                                                                                                           Because of his simplicity, honesty and courage to speak the truth even in kings court Jesus gave him the highest compliment any human can ever imagine. Jesus said that he was the greatest born of a woman. No Degree, no Presidents Medal or Oscar award or Nobel prize can match up to this compliment.                                                                                                                                                           Hope by keeping far away the materialistic desires and imitating the virtues of John the Baptist we too may find favour in Gods eyes.
