O God, You inspired Saint Louise to strive for perfect charity, and so attain Your Kingdom at the end of her pilgrimage on earth. Strengthen us through her intercession that we may advance rejoicing in the way of love and service to our brothers and sisters. Amen.
O Gracious God, Saint
Louise devoted her life to helping Saint Vincent de Paul serve the needs
of the poor. She often taught: "Be diligent in serving the poor. Love
the poor, honor them, as you would honor Christ Himself." I lift up
to You the programs in my church and community that help the needy, and
the people who do the work. Multiply
the donations. Teach me how to think generously. Give me a heart that
desires to care for the poor as if I were serving Jesus directly, and help
me to see Jesus in each person that begs on the street corner or church
door. Saint Louise, pray for us. Amen.
