Incomparable St. George! who maintained, amidst all the license of military idolatry, the most perfect rules of Christianity, and distributed amongst the poor all your wealth; proving that you sought no other glory but that of being a true disciple of a crucified Redeemer: obtain for us the grace to live always in sanctity, and to employ our substance to God’s honour and glory. Gloria.
-
Incomparable St. George, who, after having confounded, by your eloquence, all those who spoke evil of Christianity, edified them still more by enduring joyfully to be torn on the wheel: obtain for us that we may confound, like you, all those who speak against religion and piety, rather by our example than by our words, and be ready to endure any evil to support this holy cause. Gloria.
-
Incomparable St. George, who, when miraculously healed of your wounds, not only triumphed over the most important persons, whom you converted to God, but even forced the devils to confess the falsehood of Idolatry: obtain for us the grace to oppose ourselves courageously to the suggestions of the devil, that we may triumph over all his wiles. Gloria.
