Happy Feast of St. Basil! As well as being our own patronal feast, it is of course the patronal feast for The BasiliansThis prayer to St. Basil was taken from the Basilian Vedemecum:
Let us praise both illustrious men and our founders, each in his own generation.
Our holy father, Basil, patron of your congregation which has undertaken the work of Christian education of youth, be always and everywhere the guide of teachers and students and a continuous source of help to your priests who cry to thee.
Blessed Basil, illustrious Doctor, light of Holy Church, lover of Divine law, implore the Son of God for us.
V Be mindful of your congregation.
R Which you have cared for from its beginning.
Let Us Pray
Renew in your Church, O Lord, the spirt which inspired Blessed Basil, that we, filled with the same spirit, may learn to love what he loved and practise what he taught.
Protect your family we beseech Thee, O Lord, with the aids of peace, and always trusting in the protection of holy Mary ever Virgin, may we return safely from all enemies and dangers. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
