Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Memorial of Saints Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzen | January 2, 2026

They came from Jerusalem with questions. Priests and Levites sent to figure out who this wilderness preacher thought he was. Who are you?

John's first response was to say who he was not. I am not the Christ. Are you Elijah? I am not. Are you the Prophet? No.

Three questions. Three denials. I am not. I am not. No.

What do you say about yourself? And John gave them the strangest answer: I am the voice of one crying in the desert, make straight the way of the Lord.

Not a name. Not a title. Just a voice. Something that points beyond itself to the one who is coming. There is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.

This is a man who knows who he is because he knows who he is not. John had crowds. He could have built a movement, established a legacy. Instead he said: I am just a voice. The one who matters is standing right here and you do not even see him.

Today we remember Basil and Gregory, two friends who understood this truth. They spent their lives pointing beyond themselves to Christ.
