Almighty God, by whose providence thy servant John the Baptist was wonderfully born, and sent to prepare the way of thy Son our Savior by preaching repentance: Make us so to follow his doctrine and holy life, that we may truly repent according to his preaching; and after his example constantly speak the truth, boldly rebuke vice, and patiently suffer for the truth’s sake; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Nativity of John the Baptist
God our Father,
you raised up John the Baptist
to prepare a perfect people for Christ the Lord.Give your Church joy in spirit
and guide those who believe in you
into the way of salvation and peace.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. pic.twitter.com/6Taq3P8MUX— Fr. Fiel Pareja (@padrefiel) June 23, 2021
