    Orémus.
    Deus, qui sanctum Joánnem Baptistam Confessórem tuum in evangelizandis pauperibus
    caritate et patientia decorásti: concede quǽsumus; ut cujus pia merita veneramur,
    virtutum quoque imitemur exempla.
    Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte
    Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
    R. Amen.

    Let us pray.
    O God, Who didst beautify Thine holy Confessor John Baptist with the graces of love
    and longsuffering in preaching Thy Gospel unto the poor, grant, we beseech Thee,
    unto us who honour his godly and worthy life the grace to follow after the example
    of his good works.
    Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the
    unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
    R. Amen.
