Vincentian View

“Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.”  The wisdom of that statement grows on me as I continue to think about it. 

The sign of the cross enables us to confess our belief in our Triune God in a regular though sometimes forgetful manner. 

Pope Francis’ Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation, Christus Vivit (“Christ is Alive”), was released on March 25th of this year. 

As we reflect upon the meaning of the cross in this Holy Week, the third evangelist’s writing draws us to consider the suffering of the faultless in an emphatic way.

As a Vincentian Family, we know the close ties that we have with those who are poor among us.  A DNA test might reveal that it is not just a matter of the spirit but also of the blood.

Growing up, those not familiar with my family would frequently confuse our names.  I confess to some annoyance when someone got my name wrong.

All of us remember the children’s game, “follow the leader” – a “leader” guides a group through a series of actions and adventures that others would imitate

The “weariness of the journey” can capture the sense of so many of us who take up the responsibilities for our Church, communities, and families.
