2 Miraculous Prayers to Saint John the Baptist to ask for what is needed

 “Most glorious Saint John the Baptist, forerunner of my Lord Jesus Christ, beautiful star of the best sun, trumpet of Heaven, voice of the eternal word, you are the greatest of the saints and standard-bearer of the King of Glory; more a son of grace than of nature and for all reasons, a mighty prince in Heaven; Grant me the favor that I ask of you, if it is convenient for my salvation; and if not for my perfect resignation, with abundant grace; that by becoming a friend of God, I assured myself the eternal happiness of Glory. Amen. "

This is the prayer to San Juan Bautista, which is always remembered when celebrating the night of San Juan, a ritual that, despite containing Christian beliefs, still preserves the touch of magic and mysteries of the ancient pagan festivities. But that celebration of the Summer Solstice, on June 24, is dedicated to the saint.

The name JUAN, comes from the Hebrew Yo-hasnam, meaning "God is merciful", although another similar etymology is Jo-hanan or Jo-hannes, which means "God is in my favor."

Saint John the Baptist is one of the most recognized saints in the Bible. In the Gospel of Saint Luke 1:36, the mother of John the Baptist, Elizabeth, is described as a "relative" of Mary, so it is believed that the saint and Jesus probably had a blood relationship.

John the Baptist was also the forerunner or messenger of the Messiah and thus prepared the way for his arrival, calling for repentance and conversion and baptizing with water.

Thus said the saint:

"And I did not know him, but I have come to baptize in water so that he may be revealed to Israel" (John 1:31).

Then, when going through baptism, he expressed:

"I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and staying on him." And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me: 'The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and stay on him, that is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

Saint John the Baptist is considered a prophet by three religions:

• Christianity,
• Islam and
• the Bahá'í Faith, son of Zacharias, a Jewish priest who was married to Saint Elizabeth.

It is said that since childhood he had a wide vocation as an orator, and when he learned about the existence of Jesus, he preached religious faith, helping the settlers to believe and be baptized and sowing among them the ideas of love of neighbor.

In Cuba San Juan Bautista is also venerated, and in the cult of Santeria and Afro-Cuban religion, product of religious syncretism, he is worshiped together with Osun the Orisha watcher and caretaker of the walkers.

What day is celebrated on San Juan Bautista the teacher of good faith?

They say that John the Baptist was questioned by tax collectors and soldiers about what they should do to please God, and thus, the saint showed them the best way to do honest work and sow justice.

But his life soon ended when Herod sent people to the Jordan to arrest John, who was later beheaded, despite the fact that thousands of his disciples came out to support him and relate his miracles.

His remains were venerated in the city of Samaria until the 24th century, when Julian the Apostate caused them to be disseminated. But the Catholic Church always celebrates the birth of Saint John the Baptist on June XNUMX, with numerous expressions of faith for the prophet and missionary who dedicated his life to spreading the word of God and promoting good works. 

Currently, he is remembered on the Night of San Juan and the Summer Solstice is dedicated to him, when the line between the earthly and the spiritual world is thinner, according to ancient beliefs.

For this reason, the night and dawn of June 24 were dedicated to San Juan in an effort to Christianize the many forces that are manifested on this magical day. The Sun and Saint John are the symbols used every June 24 to remember the power of light and good deeds.
