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 for You that he showed by bringing others into his efforts to serve You in the poor.
St. Vincent de Paul, you are well-known for the work you did to serve the poor. But you helped those who were blessed with material wealth as well. You helped the wealthy by bringing them into your service to the poor, that they might have the opportunity to gain heavenly reward by their charity.
You knew that the poor would be best served if you enlisted the help of others. You organized societies for service to the poor that are still running today.
Pray for me, that I may always be ready to put my gifts into God’s service. Pray that I may also not be afraid to invite others into Your service.
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.
