Journey Through Lent With Saints Vincent and Louise (February 27)

by | Feb 26, 2023 | Formation

Today’s quote:

Let’s take renewed resolutions to acquire this spirit, which is our spirit; for the spirit of the Mission is a spirit of simplicity, humility, gentleness, mortification, and zeal. Do we have it or don’t we?

Vincent de Paul (Volume: 12 | Page#: 251) The Five Characteristic Virtues (Common Rules, Chap. II, Art. 14), 22 August, 1659

Do I seek the truth or do I sometimes hide the truth so that my real nature will not be known? Do I cause others to be on the defensive? How do I experience mortification in my daily life?
