Collect
O God, who seest that we are sore beset with evils on every side: grant, we beseech thee, that the glorious intercession of blessed John, thy Apostle and Evangelist, may be our shield and protection. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
