The Daughters of Charity Focus on the Faith of Vincent (Link no longer active)… “As we read in the Pastoral Recommendations for the Year of Faith, given by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, “the Saints and the Blessed are the authentic witnesses of the faith”. For the Daughters of Charity, together with all the Vincentian Family, these are – first of all – our Saint Founders. In the month of September let us think a little about this glowing virtue of faith in St. Vincent’s life. May some thoughts of Fr. Jean Morin C.M. (Echoes, November-December 2008), proposed as four short chapters coming successively this month, help us in our meditation:

  • Christ…
  • Gospel…
  • Church…
  • Events…

To sum up, the best way to define the faith of Saint Vincent seems to be with the famous words “leave God for God”, the perpetual movement between Jesus Christ and the poor person. It is certainly the fundamental experience of faith that Saint Vincent proposes for us.”
