OCTOBER 25 DON CARLO GNOCCHI. Prayer to be recited today

O God, who are Father,
and in Jesus Christ you make us brothers,
we thank you
for the gift of Don Carlo Gnocchi
that the Church venerates as Blessed.
Give us
his deep faith,
his tenacious hope,
his ardent charity,
because we can continue,
on his heroic example,
to serve the life of every man
"Beaten and stripped of pain".
Don Carlo teach us
to look for you every day among the most fragile,
in the chaste eyes of the children,
in the tired smile of the old,
in the twilight of the dying
to love you every day
with "the inexhaustible labor of science,
with the works of human solidarity
and in the wonders of supernatural charity ».
Amen
