PALLOTTINE PRAYER My soul is both the living image of God and the living image of the Holy Spirit, who is the immeasurable and incomprehensible love of the Father and the Son. The soul has a natural tendency to be drawn to the Infinite Love and away from worldly love. We are bound to live as the living image of the Infinite Love of the Father and Son. Lord, draw us into your Infinite Love. St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
