O good bishop
and wise doctor of the Church –
pray for us,
that the water that is Christ
might pour upon our souls,
especially His chosen apostles,
your fellow bishops,
and fill all with wisdom from on high,
leading us away from all lies
to the truth that is Jesus.
Pray our hearts shall be filled
to overflowing
with this Word,
that the Gospel might be preached
by lips anointed
with the Body and Blood of our Lord;
may the darkness of error
be dispelled
and God’s pure light
shine in our midst.
Pray for us, good doctor,
pray for us;
lead us indeed to the truth that is Christ.
