On March 6, 2026, we, the members of the Vincentian Family, pray for workers in the informal economy without protections.
Street vendors, day laborers, domestic workers—they form the invisible backbone of many societies, yet often live without rights or security.
Saint Vincent taught that no one is too poor to be respected. Their work is dignified and essential.
We pray for justice and recognition for informal workers. May their labor be valued and protected.
Word of God
“Woe to those who make unjust laws… depriving the poor of their rights.”
(Isaiah 10:1–2)
Prayer
God of justice, hear the cries of those whose labor is unseen and undervalued. May their work be honored, and their lives secure. Amen.
On this same day, we also joyfully celebrate the foundation of the Sisters of Compassion, established in 1892, formally known as the Daughters of Our Lady of Compassion. Founded by Venerable Suzanne Aubert in Hiruhārama (Jerusalem) on New Zealand’s Whanganui River, this unique, locally-born Catholic Congregation dedicated itself to serving both Māori and Pākehā, regardless of creed. With a deep Marian spirituality and a compassionate response to suffering, the Sisters have operated orphanages, hospitals, soup kitchens, and elder care homes in Wellington and beyond, including Fiji. Committed to living “In Your Providence is Our Hope,” they continue to accompany the most vulnerable, embodying Mother Aubert’s vision of practical charity and cultural respect that has endured for over a century.
