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 during his many good works toward the poor in his society.
St. Vincent de Paul, you saw that the needs of the poor in your society were very great. You knew that God was calling you to serve these poor, and you dived into this task wholeheartedly. You even worked to organize others to help in the effort of serving the poor.
Even today, societies dedicated to serving the poor in your memory still flourish. Assist the members of these societies to serve the poor for love of God.
Pray for me, that I may always be conscious of the needs of my less fortunate brothers and sisters.
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.
