From July 15-20 there will be an International Meeting of Spiritual Advisors for the Vincentian Marian Youth in the Motherhouse in Paris. In preparation for that event the intentional site of the Daughters of Charity gathered a few short testimonies of the VMY Members from Poland, as an example of what the VMY is for these young people.

Some of their testimonies…

For me, the Vincentian Marian Youth (VMY) is a multicolored community of people, in which every person is important, because of his/her personality and talents. This is my great joy: that Divine Providence brought us together in this group, so that – through our different actions – we may together contemplate on that great Mystery which is God. In VMY we can grow up in Marian and Vincentian spirituality. Thanks to that, I am not just “religious”; I do not go to church just because I have to, being bored, but I became more aware.

The Vincentian Marian Youth became an everyday reality for me. I have learned that I am not a VMY member only during the meetings, but in all situations, in every moment of the day. Thanks to this membership I have learned how to act as part of a team, and I understood that each of us who is responsible for his own spiritual growth. I met many wonderful peers and the Daughters of Charity, through whom Christ acts everyday…. Thank you!… First of all I thank Mary, Mother of God that I met VMY on the path of my life. And thank you – my dear Friends!

The Vincentian Marian Youth is my life Adventure that gives me stunning discoveries about the Holy Virgin. Here I learn to be responsible. Until now I have been successful in that.
