St. John the Baptist

O Saving Victim opening wide,

the Gates of Heaven to man below.

Our foes press on from every side,

Your aid supply, Your strength bestow.

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him we humbly pray.
