NOVENA PRAYERS

NOVENA TO ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST

DAY 1 - JUNE 15

O Glorious, St. John the Baptist, greatest prophet among those born of woman, although thou was sanctified in thy mother's womb and didst lead a most innocent life, nevertheless it was thy will to retire into the wilderness, there to devote thyself to the practice of austerity and penance; obtain for us of thy Lord the grace to be wholly detached, at least in our hearts, from earthly goods, and to practice Christian mortification with interior recollection and with the spirit of holy prayer. Amen.

O glorious St. John the Baptist, through the love thou does bear to Jesus Christ, and for the glory of His Name,

Hear our prayers and obtain our petitions...

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be...

St. John the Baptist, precursor of Christ: Pray for us!

St. John the Baptist, glorious forerunner of the Sun of Justice: Pray for us!
