The Vincentian Family Daily Intention: June 11, 2026

by .famvin | Jun 11, 2026 | The Vincentian Family Daily Intention | 0 comments

Today, June 11, 2026, we, the members of the Vincentian Family, pray for the universal right to education.

Education opens minds, hearts, and futures. Yet millions still lack access to schools, resources, and opportunity—especially girls, refugees, and the poor.

Saint Vincent valued education as a means of transformation, and called others to teach, especially in those places where no one else would go.

We pray today for educational justice: for committed teachers, inclusive systems, and societies that invest in the dignity of every learner.

Word of God
“Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And I am with you always.”
(Matthew 28:20)

Prayer
Teacher of truth, open the doors of knowledge to all. Inspire us to form minds with mercy, and to build a world where learning lifts every life. Amen.

 

On this same day, we celebrate the foundation of the Sisters Ministers of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, established in 1733, in Trecate, Italy. Born amid immense hardship and neglect, this Congregation was founded by nobleman, Giovanni Battista Leonardi and Fr. Pietro De Luigi to educate girls and serve the sick poor, following the model of the French Daughters of Charity. Their motto—rooted in Vincentian values of humility, simplicity, and charity—led them to a life that balanced monastic prayer with courageous apostolic outreach. After gaining pontifical recognition in 1956, they expanded to Peru, the Philippines, India, Ecuador, Lithuania, and Indonesia. Today, they stand as a living testament to joyful service, bringing education, healthcare, and prayerful presence to those most in need.
