O God, you looked to
the future
and chose a people to
be holy to you.
In due time you
revealed your word through
the proclamations of
John the Baptist
and of apostles like
Paul.
We have heard their

holy--or even worthy.
Make us strong, let
our hearts take courage;
we wait for the one whom
John proclaimed.
