O Glorious St. John the Baptist,
who, for the honor of God and the salvation of souls,
withstood the impiety of Herod even at the cost of your own life,
and rebuked him openly for his wicked and dissolute life,
by your prayers obtain for me a heart, brave and generous,
so that I may openly profess my faith in loyal obedience
to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Pray for me, St. John the Baptist, that I may be made worthy
of the promises of Christ.
