O magnum mysterium,
et admirabile sacramentum,
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum,
jacentem in praesepio!
Beata Virgo, cujus viscera

O God, who gave the Priest Saint John an outstanding dedication to perfect self-denial and love of the Cross, grant that, by imitating him closely at all times, we may come to contemplate eternally Your glory.

St. Teresa of Avila - Pray for us that we, by your prayers and inspiration, may come to know Jesus and reveal Him to the world.

Who God possesseth in nothing is wanting;
Alone God sufficeth.
