Here is another in our series of “Praying Our Heritage.” The series illustrates quotes from key figures in the Vincentian Heritage.

Let the image and the quote sink in, and take root. These images might surprise you into prayer at various points in your day.

In Kurt Welther’s evocative image, Vincent at the Table of the Poor, Vincent de Paul invites us to the table of Christ’s love where everyone belongs, a fitting description of charity and an apt image of the reign of God. How might this image move us to reclaim and rethink our call?

What do you think Vincent would say today?

Who will be seated around our table tonight?

For the more visually oriented among us, you don’t have to wait for the weekly image on Tuesday. You can browse for yourself. You can even search for images related to key words. Visit and search VinFormation’s database of prayer images.

We hope you will enjoy these time-release prayer capsules!

We would also welcome you sharing with all of us images that inspired you to prayer.
