Prayer: St Vincent
Almighty God, as we reflect on
St Vincent,
we pray in thanksgiving for his mission
here on earth as a Deacon.
We look upon his bravery shown,
when he was killed for being
Your servant and staying true to the Faith.
We give thanks for all those who protect our faith,
even at the time of persecution.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
St Vincent of Saragossa. Pray for us.
