Novena to St. John the Baptist

Novena begins this Monday, June 15th.

The “Novena to St. John the Baptist” honors the greatest prophet born of woman, reflecting on his sanctity, innocence, and life of penance and austerity in the wilderness. The prayer seeks his intercession for the grace of detachment from earthly goods, the practice of Christian mortification, and the spirit of holy prayer — and implores his help in bringing souls to God, particularly those in darkness, error, ignorance, or led astray by vice — while asking for a brave and generous heart to overcome human respect and openly profess faith in Christ’s teachings.

St. John the Baptist’s feast day is celebrated annually in the Church on June 24th.
