O glorius Saint Vincent, heavenly patron of all charitable associations and father of all who are in misery, whilst thou wast on earth thou didst
never cast out any who came to thee; ah, consider by what evils we are oppressed and come to our assistance! Obtain from thy Lord help for
the poor, relief for the infirm, consolation for the afflicted, protection for the abandoned, a spirit of generosity for the rich, the grace of
conversion for sinners, zeal for priests, peace for the Church, tranquillity and order for all nation, and salvation for them all., Yea, let all men
prove the effects of thy merciful intercessions, so that, being helped by thee in the miseries of this life, we may be united to thee in the life to
come, where there shall be no more grief, gladness and everlasting happiness, Amen. An indulgence of 300 days
