ST. ALEXIUS PRAYER
Precious Lord, Saint Alexius ran away from home disguised as a
beggar in order to pursue his vocation. Later he returned as a beggar,
keeping his true identity hidden, but his parents who were kind to the
needy invited him in. For seventeen years they let him live in a corner
under their stairs, seeing him only as a homeless man. There, he
prayed and taught the Faith to children.
I ask him to intercede for the homeless. Lead them to ministries and
organizations that will supply their needs and draw out the gifts they
can offer.
O Jesus, fill my heart with Your kindness towards them. Saint Alexius,
pray for us. Amen.

copyright free images for your website (as

also have to give up YouTube, which can be a
terrifying prospect. But there is an alternative.
