In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us Your priest, St. Vincent de Paul, as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the virtue that he developed during his life as a priest serving You in the poor.
St. Vincent de Paul, you began your path to the priesthood at a young age. Even though you were not immediately drawn to reach for holiness in this vocation, you opened yourself up to God’s will and learned how to serve Him worthily. Pray that I can do the same.
You remained faithful to your vocation as a priest your whole life, even though you initially only sought a comfortable lifestyle from it. Later in your life, you answered God’s call to serve Him in a particular way through the poor.
Pray for me, that I may serve God as worthily as I can, in whatever manner He calls me to.
Please also pray for (mention your intentions here).
St. Vincent de Paul, pray for us!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
