Saints’ Days and Holy Days — St. John the Baptist (June 24) (1)
Almighty God, who didst send thy servant John the Baptist to call men to repentance and to prepare the way of the Lord: Grant, we beseech thee, that having his teaching in mind we may turn to thee with all our hearts, and be made ready for that day when the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together; through the same thy Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ.
