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: “The first thing you should do when you’ve risen and have begun to dress is to kneel down and adore God. What do you think it means to adore God? It’s to render Him the honor that belongs to Him alone and to acknowledge that He is your Creator and Sovereign Lord. Next, you’ll ask for His holy blessing, bowing your head slightly in order to receive it with devotion and with the intention of making all your thoughts, words, and actions pleasing to His Divine Majesty and willing to do all of them for the glory of His most holy love.”

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.
