“The saints of great renown, the saints who have left behind a profound impression in the history of humankind and of the Church did so because they have discovered a new dimension to Christianity, that is to say, they have started a new way of living the message of Jesus. They have left a legacy to the Church, a new way of reading the Gospel… To that genre of spirituality that has enriched Christianity by transforming some universal values, to the type of Saint Benedict of Nursia, of Saint Francis of Assisi or of Saint Therese of Jesus belongs Saint Vincent de Paul.”

– José María Román, C.M.
