Founder’s Week 2011 September 20 – 30Be Vincentian: Embrace Charity; Promote Peace“Charity demands that we sow peace where it does not exist.” – St. Vincent de Paul
Living the spirit of St. Vincent demands that we are filled with charity, --a love of God and love of our neighbor. Charity must express itself in practical love which has real effect. One effect of charity is that we become promoters of peace, striving to build a world of love and justice. Vincent de Paul, the Apostle of Charity is our inspiration to be a person of peace with God as the center of our lives enabling us to serve our neighbor and bring God’s peace to our families, communities and to the world.
