Prayer meeting with some the people the Vincentian family serves in Kyiv

“This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord.”

These words taken from the Bible bring hope. Every person is a poor soul before God. And if poor souls unite in a prayer, the Lord visits them, comes to them and is present among them. The Word of God inspires us, wakens hope within us and urges to call on God in prayer.

Every evening a warming center, where the homeless from the railway station area get their shelter during this winter, becomes a sanctuary from which a prayer to God Almighty is raised. We pray together with the needy. Our common prayer will last for nine days. Through the intersession of Sr. Leopoldina Brandis, we also ask God that a room be assigned for the homeless where we could serve them and where they could renew their confidence in themselves.

We invite you to join our prayer. Superior General of the Fathers of the Mission Fr. Gregory Gay, CM, urges the Vincentian Family to pray together with the needy in this special period preceding Lord’s Resurrection. Let us unite in prayer, as poor souls with poor souls.

Sr. Marta Meshko, MC
