St. John the Baptist, June 24.
Through the intercession of our Patron, Saint John the Baptist, we pray for all those, who, in the name of the Order, bring help to the afflicted and mercifully assist their brethren in sickness, hunger, poverty, and ignorance: that God may always enlighten them, protect them, console them in adversity and grant that their works of charity may bear much fruit in his sight.
Collect
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 our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, Who lives and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
