“One New Testament text speaks explicitly of Jesus’ heart. In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus himself tells his followers: ‘Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart.’ It was a text that Louise and Vincent loved to quote.”
– Fr. Robert P. Maloney, C.M. (2014) “The Heart of Jesus in the Spirituality of Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac,” Vincentian Heritage Journal: Vol. 32 : Iss. 1 , Article 8.
Did you know that St. Louise was an artist? She painted representations of Jesus the Good Shepherd and the Holy Family, among other subjects (more at vincentians.com).
