To you, o Blessed Giovanni

we entrust the hope of the people of Caccamo

and of your faithful everywhere they might be

ardent  in pursuit of a world more just and unified.

Hear, O Blessed Giovanni,

the humble cry of the suffering ,

the faithful prayer of those touched by misfortune

and the unwavering voice of those who endure cruelty;

ease their suffering and recognize their dignity and rights.

Intercede, O Blessed Giovanni, with God,

Our Beloved Lady of the Angels,

and the Evangelical Saint Dominic

for those that do not yet know

the shining light of the truth

and the upright path of honesty.
