St. Marguerite d'Youville Prayer
Saint Marguerite d'Youville,
we turn to you in humble prayer
because your life speaks to us
of goodness, compassion and love
in a world of suffering, anguish and pain.
It is not unlike the world you knew
as you went about doing good
with a great love for the human family,
with preference for the poorest of all.
Your dream of universal charity
became a mission in the Church.
We give thanks to you for the
inspiring vision that is ours today
as your dream lives on.
May we learn as you did the life-giving power of love,
the profound peace of unfailing trust,
the deep mystery of suffering and pain,
the comfort of prayer.
Saint Marguerite, teach us to listen,
In the silence of our hearts,
to the God of Mercy and Compassion.
that we, too, may be signs of God’s love
to all people of our world.
Amen.
St. Marguerite d’Youville, Pray for us.
Amen.
