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.

Frederic wrote to his young companions…

“Now, we others, we are too young to intervene in the social strife. Shall we then remain inert in the suffering and sighing world? No, there is a preparatory way open to us; before doing public good, we can endeavor to do good to some individuals; before regenerating France, we can solace some individuals amongst her poor.”

The perfect can be the enemy of the good.

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.
