Vigil of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist
Missa "Ne tímeas, Zacharía"
Purple or Violet Vestments
|
The Archangel Gabriel announced that Elizabeth would have a son.
Saint John the Baptist came to prepare the ways of the Lord.
In Rome the devotion to St. John centers around the Lateran Basilica where Pope Hilary had erected two oratories, one in honor of St. John the Evangelist and the other in honor of St. John the Baptist. These two oratories became so famous that they gave the name of St. John to the Lateran Basilica itself.
The greatness of St. John the Baptist consists entirely in his mission of preparing the way for Jesus Christ. Therefore he did not live for himself, but for Christ and for His greater glory. This is genuine humility, the foundation of all true greatness before God.

Léctio Jeremiæ Prophétæ.
In diébus illis: Factum est verbum Dómini ad me, dicens:
Priúsquam te formárem in útero, novi te: et ántequam exires de vulva, sanctificávi te et prophétam in géntibus dedi te. Et dixi: A, a, a, Dómine Deus: ecce néscio loqui, quia puer ego sum. Et dixit Dóminus ad me: Noli dicere: Puer sum: quóniam ad ómnia, quæ mittam te, ibis: et univérsa, quæcúmque mandavero tibi, loquéris. Ne timeas a fácie eórum: quia tecum ego sum, ut éruam te, dicit Dóminus. Et misit Dóminus manum suam, et tétigit os meum: et dixit Dóminus ad me: Ecce dedi verba mea in ore tuo: ecce constítui té hódie super gentes, et super regna, ut evéllas, et déstruas, et dispérdas, et dissipes, et ædífices, et plantes: dicit Dóminus omnípotens.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from Jeremias the Prophet. In those days the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations. And I said, Ah, ah, ah, Lord God; behold I can not speak; for I am a child. And the Lord said to me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee; and whatever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak. Be not afraid at their presence; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. And the Lord put forth His hand, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me, Behold I have given My words in thy mouth: lo, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over kingdoms, to root up, and to pull down, and to waste, and to destroy, and to build, and to plant; saith the Lord almighty.
Thanks be to God.

Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine Fuit in diébus Heródis, regis Judææ, sacérdos quidam nómine Zacharias, de vice Abía, et uxor illíus de filiábus Aaron, et nomen ejus Elísabeth. Erant autem justi ambo ante Deum, incedéntes in ómnibus mandátis, et justificatiónibus Dómini sine queréla, et non erat illis fílius, eo quod esset Elísabeth stérilis, et ambo processíssent in diébus suis. Factum est autem, cum sacerdótio fungerétur in órdine vicis suæ ante Deum, secúndum consuetúdinem sacerdótii, sorte éxiit, ut incénsum póneret ingréssus in templum Dómini: et omnis multitúdo pópuli erat orans foris hora incénsi. Appáruit autem illi Angelus Dómini, stans a dextris altáris incénsi. Et Zacharías turbátus est, videns, et timor irruit super eurn. Ait autem ad illum Angelus; Ne tímeas, Zacharía quóniam exaudita est deprecátio tua: et uxor tuo Elísabeth páriet tibi fílium, et vocábis nomen ejus Joánnem: et erit gáudium tibi, et exsultátio, et multi in nativitáte ejus gaudébunt: erit enim magnus coram Dómino: et vinum et síceram non bibet et Spíritu Sancto replébitur adhuc ex útero matris suæ: et multos fíliórum Israël convértet ad Dóminum Deum ipsórum: et ipse præcédet ante illum in spíritu, et virtúte Eliæ: ut convértat corda patrum in fílios et incrédulos ad prudéntium justórum, paráre Dómino plebem perféctam.
Laus tibi Christe.

The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Luke. R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth: and they were
both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame. And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years. And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function, in the order of his course, before God, according to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord; and all the multitude of the people was praying without at the hour of incense: and there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And Zachary seeing him was troubled, and fear fell upon him; but the angel said to him, Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John; and thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his nativity. For he shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother's womb. And he shall convert many of the children of Isræl to the Lord their God; and he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, that he may turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.
Praise be to Christ
