O glorious Saint Blaise,
who by thy martyrdom
has left to the Church
a precious witness to the faith,
obtain for us the grace to
preserve within ourselves this divine gift,
and to defend,
without human respect,
both by word and example,
the truth of that same faith,
which is so wickedly attacked
and slandered in these our times.
Thou who didst miraculously cure a little child
when it was at the point of death
by reason of an affliction of the throat,
grant us thy powerful protection in like misfortunes;
and, above all,
obtain for us the grace of Christian mortification together
with a faithful observance of the precepts of the Church,
which may keep us from offending Almighty God.
Amen.
