Contemplation: Inspirations of the Heart

The Rule of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a beautiful spiritual document.

Contemplation: Damascus, Emmaus, and the Vincentian Pathway

One of the central tenets of our Vincentian spirituality is our call to see the face of Christ in those we serve. It seems so simple, and yet at times we lose our focus and lose sight of Him during our Home Visits. It is easy to allow ourselves to think ahead to the “solution”…
