Celebrating Vincent and Louise
2010 sees the anniversaries of St Vincent de Paul and St Louise de Marillac: visionaries in the Church's past - visionaries for the Church's present and future.
These saints challenge us to bring Good News to the poor, the stranger, the oppressed of our society. We are called to be servants of the poor, recognizing in them the face of Jesus.
Join with us and take on the vision.

Lord Jesus, who willed to become poor,
give us eyes and a heart
directed to the poor;
help us to recognize you in them –
in their thirst, their hunger, their loneliness and their
misfortune.
Enkindle within our Vincentian Family
unity, simplicity, humility
and the fire of love that burned
in St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de
Marillac.
Strengthen us in faith and love
that we may see you
and serve you in the person of the poor,
and, together, may we journey to your Kingdom.
AMEN!
