“Vincentian Marian Youth is a living example of how patience, Providence, and perseverance can all come together for the common good. Think of the patience St. Catherine Labouré showed throughout her life. After having had the singular honor of a vision and dialogue with Our Lady, St. Catherine labored for decades in a ministry of service to the elderly, living in quiet obscurity. Reflect on how the Providence of God has transformed Vincentian Marian Youth, first known as the “Children of Mary” in Europe, to an international organization witnessing to the Church and our charism on almost every continent in numerous countries. Give thanks for the perseverance of so many past members and moderators of the VMY who first inspired and motivated you to become involved in this great work of God.” – Former Superior General Fr. G. Gregory Gay, C.M.
