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.

Walking through each day with St. Vincent

St. Vincent told the Daughters of Charity: “For you see, Sisters, if you fail to offer everything to God, you’ll lose the reward of your actions. Saint Paul tells you how much you lose when the first thoughts of your mind are filled with anything other than God. When you wake up, the devil does his best to inspire you with other thoughts. That’s why you must be imbued with this holy practice, as good Christian women and true Daughters of Charity.”

Set a reminder on your phone— “Morning Offering!”— before you get caught up in other tasks.

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.
