    Orémus.
    Ecclésiam tuam, Dómine, benígnus illústra: ut beáti Joánnis Apóstoli tui et Evangelístæ, illumináta doctrínis, ad dona pervéniat sempitérna.
    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.
    Shine upon thy Church, O Lord, in thy goodness, that, enlightened by the teachings of Blessed John, thy Apostle and Evangelist, she may attain to everlasting gifts.
    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.
