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 love of You that he lived out as he served You in the poor around him.
St. Vincent de Paul, you saw firsthand that the poor in your society were in great need of help. Even though you did not set out at the beginning of your priesthood to be a servant of the poor, you responded generously when you realized that God was calling you to this service.
Pray that I may respond generously to whatever God is calling me to do.
You did all you could to help meet the needs of those suffering from poverty. You even organized others to join you in the effort to alleviate the sufferings of the poor. And you carried out this work for the love of God.
Pray for me, that I may serve God first in whatever work I may do in my life.
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.
