O Blessed Luigi Guanella, apostle of charity who spread the treasures of your heart to the poor and suffering, whom you dearly loved, in a world filled with hatred and selfishness, obtain for us from Divine Providence an ever increasing love of God and our neighbor. Obtain for us also the favor we are now asking for, and the grace of final perseverance. Amen.
