Theme for The Nativity of St. John the Baptist
John the Baptist is unique among all the Old Testament prophets because he announced the coming of the Christ. John pointed directly to Jesus, calling him the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Hymn #346
Alleluia. He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to make ready for the Lord a people prepared. Alleluia.
Almighty God, through John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ, You once proclaimed salvation. Now grant that we may know this salvation and serve You in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life; through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Hymns #344, #346, #518, st. 1,18,3
