O glorious St. Vincent, heavenly patron of all associations of charity and father of all the miserable, who during thy life never rejected anyone who had recourse to thee: ah! behold by how many evils we are afflicted, and come to our assistance…

Lord, teach me to be generous. Teach me to serve Thee as Thou deservest; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and not to ask for any reward, save that of knowing that I do Thy will. Amen.

O God, the lover and guardian of peace and charity, grant unto all our enemies true peace and charity; and of Thy mercy, forgive them all their sins and errors. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

O God, Who hast commanded us to love one another, open our hearts to the poor and needy. Grant that we may see Christ in them, and serve them with generosity and joy. Bless those who suffer want, and provide for them through our hands and the charity of Thy Church. Amen.

O my God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured. Amen.
