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.

What Moved Saint Vincent?
And What Moved Him Toward Those Who Are Poor?

The fuel in St. Vincent’s engine, so to speak, was his underlying and mighty fascination with God’s loving. Vincent was swept up into the force field of that ever-flowing love. Over time, he became more and more enthralled with the pure giving of God; with what Saint Paul calls the lavish outpouring of God’s Spirit.
