PALLOTTINE PRAYER
Lord, make me a better person, more considerate towards others, more honest with myself, more faithful to you. Make me generous enough to want sincerely to do your will whatever it may be. Help me to find my true vocation in life and grant that through it I may find happiness myself and bring happiness to others.
 Lord, may those whom you call have the generosity to answer your call.
St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
Mother of Divine Love, pray for us.
