Collect of Ss Zachary & Elizabeth, Parents of St John the Baptist - (NOT Indulgenced ~ See Note)

According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who on the feast of any Saint recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.


V.
 O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, by whose grace Zachary and Elizabeth became the parents of the herald of Thy Son, grant us through their intercession the grace to love The above all things, and so inherit what you have promised. 
Through the same, our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who livest and reignest with Thee and the Holy Ghost, one God forever and ever. 
R. Amen

Nota bene - This is NOT an indulgenced prayer! I couldn't find an oration in the Missal or any other source approved by legitimate Authority, so I took one from an Anglo-Catholic source.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
