Gregory the Great, on Matt 3:1

“And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea.”

“(Hom. in Ev. i. 20. 3.) Every one who preacheth right faith and good works, prepares the Lord’s way to the hearts of the hearers, and makes His paths straight, in cleansing the thoughts by the word of good preaching.”
