Glorious St. Vincent, patron of all charitable associations and brother of those who suffer and all those who came to you during your lifetime asking for your help, look on our distress and come to our assistance. Obtain from Our Lord help for the poor, relief for the infirm, consolation for the afflicted, protection for the abandoned, a spirit of generosity for the rich, grace of conversion for sinners, zeal for priests, peace for the Church, tranquility and order for all nations, and salvation for them all. May all feel your compassion, intercession and help, in the sorrows of this life and may we be united in the life to come, where there is no sorrow, tears or pain, but only joy, gladness, and everlasting happiness.
Amen
St. Vincent de Paul (1581–1660) is renowned for his compassion, humility, and dedication to serving those in need. As the founder of the Congregation of the Mission and the Daughters of Charity, he devoted his life to helping the poor, sick, and marginalized, demonstrating that true Christian love is shown through action. His commitment to charity and social justice is an inspiration for families and communities, encouraging us to see Christ in the faces of the less fortunate. Through his life, St. Vincent reminds us that our faith calls us to serve with humility, generosity, and a deep sense of responsibility towards one another
