Prayer
to
St. Benedict
Glorious
Saint Benedict,
sublime model of virtue,
pure vessel of
God’s grace!
Behold me humbly kneeling at your feet.
I implore you in your loving kindness
to pray for this homeless boy
before the throne of
God.
To you may he have recourse in the dangers
that daily surround him.
Shield me against my selfishness
and my indifference to God and to my neighbor.
Inspire me to imitate you in all things.
May your blessing be with me always,
so that I may see
and serve
Christ in others
and work for
His kingdom.
Graciously obtain for this child and his mother from our
Great God Above
those favors and graces
which they need so much in the trials,
miseries and afflictions of life.
Your heart was always full of
love, compassion and mercy

toward those who were afflicted
or troubled in any way.
You never dismissed without consolation
and assistance anyone who had recourse to you.
I therefore invoke your
**+ powerful intercession + **
confident in the hope that you will hear
our
pray
ers
and obtain for these souls
the special grace and favor we earnestly implore:
that our
Gracious Good God
will mercifully help this precious homeless boy and his mother
and meet them at every point of their need
with heavenly and earthly provisions and
constant compassionate loving holy care of their
bodies, souls and spirits.
Dear Sweet Jesus
gather them both up into
Thy beloved loving arms
and lovingly clearly reveal
Thyself to this mother and child.
**Dear great Saint Benedict, **
bless and help this dear precious homeless boy
and bless and help his poor mother,
for Jesus Holy Name’s Sake,
to live and die as redeemed faithful beloved children of
God,
to run in the sweetness of our
Gracious Heavenly Father’s loving will,
and to attain the blessings of being
God’s children here on earth
and the eternal happiness of heaven with
God throughout all eternity.
Amen.
