"O all-praised John, and universal Apostle..."

St. John the Forerunner (source)
  
O all-praised John, and universal Apostle, the good news of Gabriel, and the root from the barren womb, and the most-beautiful adornment of the desert, and true friend of Christ the Bridegroom: entreat Him, that He might have mercy on our souls.
-Idiomelon from the feast of the Nativity of St. John

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
