Let us join together as a Parish Community in praying the Novena Prayer to Saint Vincent de Paul.
NOVENA PRAYER TO ST VINCENT DE PAUL
O Glorious Saint Vincent de Paul, the mention of your name suggests a litany of your virtues: Humility, Zeal, Mercy, Self-Sacrifice. It also recalls your many foundations: Works of Mercy, Congregations, Societies. The Church gratefully remembers your promotion of the priesthood. Inspire all Charitable Workers, especially those who minister, to both the spiritually and the materially poor. O Lord, give us the grace that You bestowed upon, your servant St. Vincent de Paul, to relinquish the temptation of material things, in our holy effort to minister to the poor. Amen.
Our Father + Hail Mary + Glory Be To The Father + Amen
