"Behold Your Mother"

Official Prayer of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul

Lord Jesus,

You who willed to become poor,

give us eyes and a heart directed toward the poor;

help us to recognize you in them-

in their thirst, their hunger, their loneliness, and their misfortune.

En kindle within our Vincentian Family

unity, simplicity, humility,

and the fire of love

that burned in St. Vincent de Paul.

Strengthen us, so that, faithful to the practice of these virtues,

we may contemplate you and serve you in the person of the poor,

and may one day be united with you and them in your Kingdom.

Amen.
