Prayer to Saint John the Baptist to be recited today for help

1) O glorious St. John the Baptist, who was the greatest prophet of women born: although sanctified from the womb, you would like to retire to the desert to dedicate yourself to prayers and penance. Obtain for us from the Lord the detachment from any ideal terrain to move towards the recollection of dialogue with God and the mortification of passions.
