ST. ALEXIUS COLLEGE HISTORY, VMC & CORE VALUES JOHN MARCO R. SISON, MPsy CP, RPm, RPsy ST. A L E X I U S C O L L E G E www.stalexiuscollege.edu.ph  St. Alexius Prayer 2 ST. A L E X I U S C O L L E G E www.stalexiuscollege.edu.ph  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 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 toward them. Saint Alexius, pray for us. Amen.
