Loving Lord,

it is through your grace that we will come together as Vincentian Youth in Krakow, Poland. We ask you to send forth your wisdom and guidance as we prepare for this spiritual event.

Through the intercession of St. Vincent de Paul, who has trusted the young people, we ask You to inspire and encourage us in the this mission. To the many challenges of our faith in today’s world, teach us how to give of ourselves in the service to the poor, to be with them and for them.

May St. Vincent de Paul, enlighten the fire of charity for us to embrace the young people from all over the world. Grant in our hearts the capacity to welcome them with Christian hospitality, sharing Jesus to them and with them.

Mary, Mother of Beautiful Love, we lift up to you the organizers of this event. May their generous hearts meet and experience Jesus among the young people coming to this event. May you lead us to Your Son. Amen.

O Mary! conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
