Loving and compassionate God,
we celebrate with great joy the faith and works
of our patroness St. Louise de Marillac.
Instill in us the fire of her love,
the tenacity of her belief,
and the tenderness of her care for the most abandoned.
Draw us together into the light of Your presence
and help us to trust in the power of Your Spirit,
leading us to ever closer to You,
who live and reign forever and ever.
Amen.
