Pictures are worth thousands of words!  View the YouTube video presentation of how often Vincent and Louise are presented together in art. “The friendship which Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac lived out was founded on authenticity, that is to say on the profound acceptance of the identity of the other, the recognition and respect for their diversity. Starting from obedience in the freely chosen relationship of spiritual direction, it moved through learning from the other in a complementary relationship of collaboration, and, reaching the serenity of old age in a ‘relationship of communion’, this friendship is an astonishing journey of sanctity, filled with humanity”. (Sr Charpy A Short Life of Louise de Marillac p.114) Thanks you
