    Orémus.
    Deus, qui per sanctum Joánnem órdinem sanctíssimæ Trinitátis ad rediméndum de potestáte
    Saracenórum captívos cǽlitus institúere dignátus es: præsta, quǽsumus; ut, ejus
    suffragántibus méritis, a captivitáte córporis et ánimæ, te adjuvánte, liberémur.
    Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte
    Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
    ℟. Amen.

    Let us pray.
    O God, Who by a sign from heaven didst choose thy holy servant John to be the founder of
    the Order of the Most Holy Trinity for the Ransom of Prisoners held in the power of the
    Saracens, mercifully grant unto us for his sake that we may be delivered by thine
    Almighty power from all bonds and chains of sin, whether in our bodies or in our souls.
    Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity
    of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
    ℟. Amen.
