A Prayer for the Poor, the Forgotten, and the Brokenhearted

St. Vincent de Paul didn't just pray for the poor — he went to them. He fed them, clothed them, sat with them, and built institutions that still serve the vulnerable today. This beautifully laminated prayer card carries his spirit of radical charity into your hands, your home, and your heart.

Whether you serve in a St. Vincent de Paul Society chapter, volunteer at a food pantry, or simply want to pray with the heart of a servant, this card is a daily reminder that love is not a feeling — it's an action.

The Prayer

O Glorious St. Vincent de Paul, you were a man of great charity and zeal for the salvation of souls. You devoted your life to the service of the poor and the sick. Obtain for us the grace to imitate your virtues — your humility, your charity, and your tireless dedication to those in need. May we see the face of Christ in every person we serve, and may your example inspire us to give generously of ourselves. Amen.
