April 5 (unconditional love)
O God, Saint Vincent was a great preacher who
converted thousands in several countries. He often said, "If you truly
want to help the soul of your neighbor, you should approach God first with all
your heart. Ask Him simply to fill you with charity, the greatest of all
virtues; with it you can accomplish what you desire." So with the help of
his prayers, I ask You, O God, to teach me how to evangelize through loving
others as You love them. Instill in me a heart that is full of compassion for
everyone. Remind me of whom I do not love and guide me into giving them holy,
unconditional love. Saint Vincent, pray for me. Amen.
