Some Catholic Observances-customs of St. John’s Death
Because the forerunner of Christ, St. John the Baptist, whom the Lord Himself had called the greatest man born of woman, was killed as a result of Herod’s birthday revels, the Byzantine Catholic Churches observe today as a strict fast: no parties, no luxury foods, no drink. We see where these things can lead. Several popular local customs have arisen to mark this day among various Eastern Catholic countries and villages.
In various places, people may:
• Avoid eating anything on round plates, since Salome asked for John’s head “on a platter” (Mk 6:25). Use bowls instead.
• Avoid eating any round fruits or vegetables (they resemble a head).
• Avoid eating anything that requires the use of knives or anything that cuts.
• Avoid eating or drinking anything red (they remind us of blood and the sacrifice that John the Baptist made for truth and morality).
This video was made in thanksgiving for the graces received on June 24, 2020-The Nativity of St. John the Baptist

Prayer of Saint Teresa of Ávila: "Let Nothing Disturb You"
Prayer of Saint Teresa of Ávila: "Let Nothing Disturb You"
Prayer Text:
"Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, all things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things; whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices. Raise your thoughts, look up to Heaven, do not torment yourself about anything, let nothing trouble you.
Follow Jesus Christ with all your heart and whatever happens, let nothing frighten you. Do you see the glory of the world? It is a vain glory; there is nothing stable about it, it all passes.
Aspire to what is heavenly, it lasts forever; faithful and rich in promises, God does not change. Love Him as He deserves, He is immense Goodness; but there is no true love without patience. Let confidence and a lively Faith uphold the soul; he who believes and hopes obtains all things.
Even if he is attacked by all of hell, he who possesses God will foil its attacks. Even if he is abandoned and suffers crosses and misfortunes, if God is his treasure, he will want for nothing. Away with you, then, worldly goods; away with you, vain happiness; even if you lose all, God alone suffices. Amen."

Obtain for us, that, following your example, we may generously combat all that opposes the reign of Jesus Christ in our hearts, that He may ornament them with thy virtues, with that angelic purity of which you are so perfect a model; it order that, enkindled with a love for Jesus, we may walk constantly in the way He has pointed out to us, and partake one day of your eternal felicity. Amen.
