Pentecost

On the feast of Pentecost, June 4, 1623, Louise, while at prayer, had a vision in which she saw herself serving the poor and living the evangelical counsels in community. She wrote this “lumière”, or Pentecost experience, on parchment and carried it with her as a reminder that despite her difficulties, God was guiding her life.

How will I allow the Holy Spirit to transform my mind and heart, and ignite my will to serve Christ in the poor, in the days ahead?

St. Vincent surprised himself… and 17th century France! Can we allow ourselves to be surprised and become a surprising Church.
