May 16th.
-
Most zealous St. John, whose birth was illustrated by a miraculous light, whose earliest infancy was devoted to the service of the altar, and who laboured most zealously in preaching the divine word to the people, to their great spiritual profit: obtain for us the grace at all times to be detached from the things of this world, and seek nothing but the glory of God and the benefit of our neighbour. Gloria.
-
Most unconquerable St. John, who, notwithstanding all the promises, threats, and cruelties of a wicked king, could not be prevailed on to break the sacramental seal, but tranquilly submitted to death: obtain for us the grace to fulfil with fidelity the duties of our state, and to sacrifice everything rather than transgress God’s holy law, and stain our souls by sin. Gloria.
-
Most faithful St. John, whose death was glorified by the heavenly flame which floated above your body, as well as by the incorruption of your tongue: obtain for us so to live in the good odour of Christ that we may merit the blessed and incorruptible crown promised to His elect. Gloria.
