Vigil of the Nativity of S. John the Baptist
2nd Cl.
Purple
The Church throughout her entire Liturgy commemorates three births: that of Jesus, that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and that of St. John the Baptist. Saint John has this singular honor because he was sanctified in his mother's womb by the presence of Jesus, and leapt with joy at the coming of the Savior.
PRAYER
May your servants walk in the path of salvation, almighty God. May they follow the exhortation of Blessed John, the precursor of Jesus Christ and herald of His coming, and by doing so come safely to Your Son our Lord; Amen.
