The Vincentian Family Daily Intention: June 4, 2026
Today, June 4, 2026, we, the members of the Vincentian Family, pray for those in slums and informal settlements.
In the margins of many cities, millions live without sanitation, safety, or security—yet often with deep faith, solidarity, and creativity.
As Vincentians, we are called to be present where suffering is most hidden and resilience is most alive.
We pray today for the dignity, voice, and participation of those living in slums. May they be seen, respected, and heard in the shaping of our cities and policies.
Word of God
“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”
(Psalm 118:22)
Prayer
God of the poor, dwell among those the world forgets. May we walk with them, learn from them, and never cease to defend their rights. Amen.
On this same day, we celebrate the foundation of the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, established in 1970 in Baltic, Connecticut, USA. This Congregation of diocesan right was founded by Mother Marie Alma Lafond, with approval from Pope Paul VI. They live a two-fold mission of sanctity and service, grounded in simplicity and Eucharistic-centered prayer. Committed to education, healthcare, and pastoral outreach, the Sisters operate the Academy of the Holy Family for young women and St. Elizabeth’s nursing home. In 1993, they were elevated to pontifical status by Pope John Paul II, and today they continue to serve the sick, elderly, poor, and students—bringing Vincentian compassion to wherever there is need.
