Prayer:

Blessing of Vincentian Hands God Almighty and Father of the Poor, I pray that you would bless the hands of these Vincentians that they will always be dedicated to bringing help, encouragement, and wholeness to everyone they touch. Bless these Vincentians with your healing touch that their touch will be your touch. Grant that through this blessing they will be ready to dirty their hands in favor of the poor, their masters. Clothe them with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; and give them wisdom for many tasks that these hands will be required to perform. Make these Vincentians worthy heirs of the charism you have entrusted to Vincent and Louise, Elizabeth and Frederick. All blessings and honor to you, our dear Lord, now and forever. Amen.

Vincentian Marian Youth Prayer

Lord Jesus, We come to you with Mary Immaculate. You, the friend of the little ones and of the poor, we praise you. You care for each of us with so much love! Teach us to LIVE TOGETHER with the dynamism of your Spirit, who draws us to a way of life filled with wonder, truth, and action. Enable us to LOOK AT others with the eyes of the heart, so as to recognize the wonders that you work in them, especially in the underprivileged. Help us to BUILD a world of brothers and sisters where no one is marginalized. Grant us to act not in a spirit of power and domination, but in humble spirit of service.
