O Glorious St. 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, and
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.
