Louise de Marillac, awakened by her faith in a God who takes the side of the poor, sees the person in distress who is along her path. She is attracted to those who experience marginalization, rejection, exclusion. She becomes aware of their needs. She then engages in an action which is very respectful of the person, which provides effective help, which includes original initiatives, which often requires the acquisition of real skills, and which requires the establishment of a support group to continue the work.
