Sr. Carol Schumer, D.C. provides a prayer service for September with the theme “Vincent de Paul: Importance of Prayer”.
Vincent ends many of his letters asking the recipient to pray for him.He uses phrases such as:
- “Remember me in your prayers” (#76 To the Pastor of Bergeres, page 118, September 2,1631);
- “Do not forget us in your prayers” (#103 To Saint Louise, page 155, ~1632);
- “I recommend myself to your prayers” (#124 To Francois DuCoudray in Rome, page 176, September 19, 1632)
- To this end, let us lift one another to God in prayer. (Correspondence Vincent de Paul, Coste, Volume 1)
One could find countless instance of where Pope Francis does the same.
Visit the site of the Ladies of Charity for the full service.
