Anecdotes of the Vincentian Family: Ozanam at University, and Money
Frederic, while pursuing his studies of Law and Letters at the University of Paris, was almost always short of money. In several letters to his parents (not all, but many) he gives them account of his impoverished economy. He could have to buy a new pair of trousers...![On Practice of the Vincentian Virtues • A Weekly Reflection with Vincent](https://b704496.smushcdn.com/704496/en/files/2016/10/reflexion-vicente-fb-ENG.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1)
On Practice of the Vincentian Virtues • A Weekly Reflection with Vincent
“We should follow, as far as possible, all the gospel teaching already mentioned, since it is so holy and very practical.

Reflect the Creator and Owner of All
Jesus is the image of the God whom no one has ever seen. Hence, he cannot but reflect God who is merciful, kind, and faithful. No doubt, we Christians want to reflect Jesus.
