To Saint John the Baptist, Precursor of the Savior

To Saint John the Baptist, Precursor of the Savior

John the Baptist’s mission was to announce the coming of the promised Savior to the earth and to prepare the people by preaching prayer and penance. Martyrdom sealed his life and won him immortal glory in Heaven.
O Saint John the Baptist, illustrious forerunner of the Messiah, you whom the Saviour proclaimed the greatest among the children of men, and that Our Holy Father Pope Pius X… gave French Canadians as a special patron; you have prepared marvelously, by your austere, penitent, angelic life, the ways to the Reign of the Redeeming Lamb. We beseech you, deign to obtain for us the grace to walk in your glorious footsteps, to keep the faith of our fathers, to zealously defend the interests of the Holy Catholic Church, and to realize the purposes of Divine Providence… on each of us, so that after the exile of this life, we may meet again in the Heavenly Fatherland, to sing the praises of the Eternal King of all peoples, for centuries and centuries. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
