Lord, in these days of pride and display,
the humble ways of Your servant,
Bishop St. John Neumann, inspire us
to imitate Your own Divine example.
Teach us to be like Your servant,
the holy bishop, intent on pleasing You first
and on performing good deeds
free from the desire to be seen and glorified by others.
That his holy example may continue
to influence others, grant the favors we ask
through his intercession.
