Today we celebrate the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, forerunner of our Lord whose famous words have enriched the Church for millennia: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand", "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world”, and "He must increase; I must decrease". He is also the patron saint of Québec.

St. John the Baptist, pray for us!

Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons la Nativité de saint Jean-Baptiste, le précurseur du Seigneur, dont les paroles célèbres nourrissent l’Église depuis des millénaires : « Convertissez-vous, car le Royaume des cieux est tout proche », « Voici l’Agneau de Dieu, qui enlève le péché du monde » et « Il faut qu’il grandisse et que moi, je diminue ». Il est aussi le saint patron du Québec.

Saint Jean-Baptiste, priez pour nous !
