ST. ALEXIUS PRAYER
Precious Lord, St. 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.
ST. ALEXIUS PRAYER
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.
ST. ALEXIUS PRAYER
I ask him to intercede for the homeless.

Lead them to the ministries and
organizations that will supply their needs
and draw out the gifts that they can offer.
ST. ALEXIUS PRAYER
O Jesus, fill my heart with Your kindness

toward them. Saint Alexius, pray for us.
Amen.
