Vincentian Prayer Images: What Moved Saint Vincent? VIII

by | Aug 24, 2021 | Formation, Reflections

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?

Vincent grasped and was grasped by the pure generosity that is sending the Word to the poor, the Sending to which Jesus gives flesh. St. Vincent’s motivation is fed by this fiery lived contact with the divine. Fire enkindles fire.
