Entrance Antiphon [ Gal 6:14 ]
May I never boast of anything but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.Through it the world has been crucified to me and I to the world, alleluia.

Collect
Almighty God, you made the virgin Saint Baptista excel in meditating on the passion of your Son Jesus Christ. Grant us through her intercession to bear in our hearts the mortification of the cross and thus merit to obtain eternal life. We ask this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Prayer over the Offerings
Lord God, in your kindness accept the gifts we bring in honor of Saint Baptista. Grant us so to recall the mysteries of the Passion of your Son as to make our lives conformable to them. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Communion Antiphon [ Mt 16:24 ]
If anyone wishes to come after me, he must renounce himself, take up his cross, and follow me, says the Lord, alleluia.

Prayer after Communion
Lord God, may this Eucharist renew our courage and strength. May we remain close to you, like Saint Camilla Baptista, by accepting in our lives a share in the sufferings of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you for ever and ever.
