05-06-2021 A Letter From Our Servant Leaders

This week I visited a Council with a small film crew to record what Vincentians have been doing during the pandemic, and how it differs from pre-COVID practices to serve neighbors in need.

Contemplation: Our Labor of Love

On the very first page of our Rule you will find a truly remarkable statement: “No work of charity is foreign to the Society.” [Rule, Pt. I, 1.3] All modern communities thrive by specialization; farmers farm, builders build, writers write, and so on. Within the community of charitable and philanthropic organizations, there also tends to…

04-29-2021 Letter from Our Servant Leaders

We all learned something this past pandemic year. Individuals learned how much they can stand their family members in the house for long periods of time. They memorized the pizza carryout phone number. And they realized how much we miss airplanes, meetings with real, live people and the concept of breaking bread together – without…

Contemplation: God’s Gift, Wrapped in Humility

Have you ever seen somebody, puffed up with himself, stride into a room, clearly expecting to be the center of attention? Sometimes we hear people mutter, “He thinks he’s God’s gift to us…” It’s a shame that this expression is used as a derisive commentary on personal vanity, because, when you think about it, aren’t…

During this past month, I have been pondering the intersection of our liturgical celebrations with what is going on in the world and what is…

Contemplation: From That Time on, How Could I Not Love Them?

Vincentians are called to serve the hungry, the homeless, the poor — all those who are suffering or deprived. Doing this work can sometimes lead us to discouragement, because we see so many problems we cannot solve, and we know that today’s groceries won’t satisfy next month’s hunger. And after all, who are we to…
