The community of the General Board of the Brothers CMM (The Brothers of Tilburg, The Netherlands) held a meditative meeting as a preparation for the feast of Saint Vincent. Below they have shared the materials from that meeting.

First there is a Meditation/Prayer Service including hymns and readings, and an illustrated outline of the life of Saint Vincent. Second, they include a few excerpts from Fifty Psalms: An Attempt at a New Translation by Huub Oosterhuis (a modern interpretation of the Psalms) which the Brothers felt might resonate with people who want to think as Vincent de Paul thought, who try to do what Vincent de Paul did.
