This Icon of St Vincent de Paul sees Vincent meeting the Beggar-Christ who shares with Vincent his meal of bread. The icon was written by Rita Magris in 2006, and shows the saint of charity being graced with charity himself.The icon can be found in St Joseph’s Church Malvern, and is reproduced on the Australian CM site with permission, from “The Story of the Church of St. Joseph’s Malvern 1908 – 2008”, St Joseph’s Church History Group, 2008.
