St. Vincent de Paul (1580?-1660)
The deathbed confession of a dying servant opened Vincent's eyes to the
crying spiritual needs of the peasantry of France. This seems to have been a
crucial moment in the life of the man from a small farm in Gascony, France,
who had become a priest with little more ambition than to have a comfortable
life. For more, follow the link below:

Follow the ways of your heart, the vision of your eyes; Yet understand that
as regards all this God will bring you to judgment. Ward off grief from your
heart and put away trouble from your presence, though the dawn of youth is
fleeting. ~Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:8
Jesus said to his disciples, ?Pay attention to what I am telling you. The
Son of Man is to be handed over to men.? But they did not understand this
saying; its meaning was hidden from them so that they should not understand
it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying. ~Luke 9:43b-45

As we observer the Memorial of Saint Vincent de Paul today, we consider
someone who became a priest in order to have a comfortable life. He was
struck by the plight of galley slaves and the poor, worked first in smaller
towns and villages and eventually established confraternities to help the
poor in each parish. He organized the rich women in parish to collect funds,
built hospitals, ransomed more than 1200 galley slaves and conducted
retreats for the clergy, was a pioneer in training the clergy and
instrumental in establishing seminaries. According to the heart of Jesus, he
devoted himself to the needs of his time, particularly those of the poor.

I pray that I may live my life according to the heart of Jesus, noticing the
needs of those around me and responding to them in whatever way I can. I
pray that I may be generous with the gifts God has given me that I may use
them to give glory to Him.
