V. The Lord hath led the just man through right ways: R. And showed unto him the Kingdom of God.

Let us pray. O God, Who, by an effect of Thine infinite goodness, hast renewed, in our days, in the apostolic character and humility of Thy blessed servant Vincent, the spirit of Thy well-beloved Son to preach the Gospel to the poor, relieve the afflicted, console the miserable, and add new lustre to the Ecclesiastical Order: grant, we beseech Thee, through his powerful intercession, that we also, delivered from the great misery of sin, may labor to please Thee by the practice of the same humility. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Who liveth with Thee and the Holy Ghost ever one God, world without end. R. Amen.

O God, Who, for the preaching of the Gospel to the poor and for promoting the honor of the priesthood didst endue blessed Vincent with the zeal of an apostle grant, we humbly pray Thee, that we who venerate his holy life, may profit by the examples of virtue he has left us. R. Amen.

Saint Vincent Prayer for Deacons

Holy God, Saint Vincent served You as a permanent deacon
and gave his whole life and soul to You,
even to the point of becoming a martyr.
I lift up to You the deacons of the Church
and all those who are being called by God to become deacons.
Guide them as they discern how to serve the Body of Christ.
Prevent the attractions of the world
and the busyness of secular jobs
from interfering with their vocations.
Teach them to grow in humility.
Help their families learn from their examples
and support their diaconates with trust and joy.

Saint Vincent,
pray for us.

Amen.
