Contemplation: God’s Gift, Wrapped in Humility

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.
