O persecuted shepherd whose flock
repeatedly drove you from their midst
but who accomplished great
work of conversion among them …
to these indignant souls you repeatedly returned,
spreading Christ’s message further.
St. Adalbert, Apostle to nations, pray for us,
that in God’s Church today His Word
may go boldly forth to convert hearts
so hardened by sin, that the acquired ignorance
of peoples returning to paganism
will be thoroughly dispelled by truth.
Let all souls journey forward,
humbly proclaiming the Gospel
till all have heard and understood the glory
to which they are called by our Savior.
Amen.
