Deus, qui, ad christiánam páuperum eruditiónem et ad juvéntam in via veritátis firmándam, sanctum Joánnem Baptístam Confessórem excitásti, et novam per eum in Ecclésia famíliam collegísti: concéde propítius; ut ejus intercessióne et exémplo, stúdio glóriæ tuæ in animárum salúte fervéntes, ejus in cœlis corónæ partícipes fíeri valeámus.
O God, Who raised up the holy Confessor John Baptist for the Christian education of the poor and to strengthen youth in the way of truth, and through him formed a new family in the Church, graciously grant by his intercession and example that we, striving to save souls out of zeal for Your glory, may be found worthy to share his heavenly crown.

Gospel (Mt 18:1-5)
Sequéntia ++ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum, dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cœlórum? Et ádvocans Jesus párvulum, státuit eum in médio eórum et dixit: Amen, dico vobis, nisi convérsi fuéritis et efficiámini sicut párvuli, non intrábitis in regnum cœlórum. Quicumque ergo humiliáverit se sicut párvulus iste, hic est major in regno cœlórum. Et qui suscéperit unum párvulum talem in nómine meo, me súscipit.
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child to him, set him their midst, and said, Amen I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever, therefore, humbles himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such little child for My sake, receives Me.
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam
