O God, who through your grace called your servant John of Beverley to the following of Christ, and through whom your gifted scholar Bede was ordained, grant us by your Holy Spirit to follow his example of devotion to gospel truth and life through Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit ever liveth and reigneth in glory everlasting, Amen.
