Reflections

St. Vincent told the Daughters of Charity: “Make good use of the free time you have after caring for the sick. Never be idle…”

What is most important to you – your nation, culture, class, race, gender — or first and foremost being in God and a new and international community of God’s people?

We are a group of Vincentian Family social justice advocates from Canada and the United States collaborating together to hear and respond to the cries of our Common Home, Earth, and her peoples. We especially choose to address systemic racism and our complicity in it.

We must debunk the myths around why people become homeless so we can move toward solutions. Most never stop to put themselves in the shoes of the people they see suffering from homelessness.
