Vincentian Family

As Christians, we can pray with and for our Jewish brothers and sisters on these holy days.  We can learn from their time of devotion and reflection.

Each year, St. John’s University celebrates Founder’s Week.  From September 20-27, the days point the University towards St. Vincent and our charism, and they conclude with the great Solemnity on the 27th. 

Jesus gathers his disciples and asks them an important question “Who do people say that I am?” 

We can imagine Jesus spent much of his life in honest labor working with his hands and serving his community by his daily efforts. 

As we take pleasure in watching the Olympic Games in these weeks, the images of Paul take on a particular character.

The “earthen vessel” provides an illustrative image as we consider the ministry and mission of the Apostle James.

Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac both held Saint Francis de Sales in high esteem. 

I love to teach about the Psalms.  When I do, the first image that I offer to suggest the breadth and depth of these biblical poems/songs is an Art Gallery.

We pray for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as we pray and live the Gospel.
