\"\"Thank You to Saint Vincent de Paul<\/strong>
\nA Supplica<\/em> is a prayer of supplication composed according to a certain literary genre that remains popular in Italy to this day. The most famous of these prayers would be the Supplica<\/em> to the Queen of the Holy Rosary of Pompei composed by Blessed Bartolo Longo. Nearly every parish or chapel in southern Italy has a Supplica<\/em> to its patron saint recited by all the people in unison on the saint’s feast. <\/small>On 19 July 2011 I was inspired to write a Supplica<\/em> to Saint Vincent de Paul. I asked his intercession for my monastery, trusting that he would find us a suitable permanent home. He did. Thank you, Saint Vincent de Paul. Here, then, is the Supplica<\/em> to Saint Vincent that I wrote and first prayed seven years ago today.<\/small><\/p>\n

O glorious Saint Vincent de Paul<\/strong>,
\npriest of Jesus Christ,
\nservant of the poor,
\nconsoler of the sorrowful,
\nfather of orphans,
\nprovidence of the homeless,
\ngiver of alms to the destitute,
\nenlightened guide of souls,
\ncompassionate visitor of the imprisoned,
\nattentive nurse of the sick,
\ncomfort of the dying,
\nzealous teacher of the clergy,
\nwho can describe the innumerable works of thy charity,
\nand who can measure the hospitality of thy heart?<\/p>\n

The weak and the infirm,
\nthe wounded and the needy,
\nthe unloved and the shamed
\nall find a place in the folds of thy great protecting mantle.
\nNever did one of Christ’s poor turn to thee in distress
\nwithout receiving from thee the alms of thy mercy
\nfor soul and body.<\/p>\n

O thou, Apostle of Charity,
\nO thou, Image of Jesus Christ,
\nthou in whom the Heart of Christ burns
\nwith an inextinguishable fire,
\nlook upon us in our present need.
\nConsider that we too are poor, weak, and without earthly resources.
\nWe cast ourselves upon the infinite mercy of Divine Providence,
\nand place our trust in thy pleading on our behalf.<\/p>\n

We know that thou wilt obtain for us
\nan answer to our prayer,
\na solution to our pressing plight
\nand, above all else,
\nthe grace of entire abandonment to the adorable Will of God,
\noutside of which we desire nothing.
\nAmen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
