2[Mass. Lætabitur, as in the Common of one Martyr, page x; but in Paschal Time, the Mass Protexisti, page xii.]

3Prayer. Deus qui. O God, who didst adorn thy church with a new crown of martyrdom on account of the invincible sacramental secrecy of blessed John, grant us, by his intercession and example, cautiously to guard our tongues, and to suffer all evils in this world rather than the loss of our souls. Through our Lord, &c.

4Secret. By these thy sacred mysteries, O Lord, may we glow with that fire of charity, with which the renowned martyr John was inflamed when he celebrated the same. Through our Lord, &c.

5Postcom. Spiritum. May this heavenly table, which ever strengthened to victory the constancy of thy blessed martyr John for the honour of the sacrament, impart to us, O Lord, the spirit of fortitude. Through our Lord, &c.

6[Note. The Feast of St. Ubaldus is to be kept henceforth on the 22nd of May. See in the Missal, May 16, p. 586.]
