A homily preached to a group of retired Vincentians gathered for daily Eucharist in their Philadelphia Infirmary.

“What then does the manger tell us? It tells us three things, at least: closeness, poverty and concreteness.“

In these very endearing dates, the .famvin team wishes you a happy and blessed Christmas.

Vincentian spirituality emphasizes trust in Divine Providence and the importance of discerning and acting on God’s will, a process that requires reflection and attentiveness to the events and people in our lives. Bl. Frédéric Ozanam exemplified this struggle, learning to abandon himself to God’s will and seeking both the clarity to discern it and the courage to act upon it.
