Vincentian View

Did you have a chance to see Pope Francis’ “Urbi et Orbi” blessing on March 27?  Faith and prayer held the center in this simple yet dramatic event.

I make no secret of the fact that if I could teach only one book of the Bible, I would choose the Psalms. 

Work without the opportunity to find its purpose and its contribution to creation in the service of others is work that can dehumanize. 

I have often given talks on the importance of silence and on the need to listen.  I know the value of these attitudes in prayer and in fruitful conversation.  From the silence can emerge new ideas and insights.
