O God of truth and love,
you gave your Church
the eloquence and courage of Saint John Chrysostom,
a faithful bishop and fearless preacher of your Word.
Through his intercession,
grant that we may hunger for your truth,
proclaim the Gospel with boldness,
and serve you with hearts aflame with charity.
May we, like him,
seek not worldly honour but your glory alone,
and come at last to share in the eternal banquet of your Kingdom.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.

And your heart became a mirror of His Passion.

You called John the Baptist to prepare the way for Your Son,
crying out in the wilderness,
calling sinners to repentance,
and shining the light of justice in the courts of kings.
When the cost of truth was death,
he did not flinch.
When the price of integrity was silence,
