(1576-1660) Saint Vincent was born in 1576 near Dax, south of Bordeaux, of a poor family which survived by means of their labor. It seemed that mercy was born with him. When sent by his father to the mill to procure flour, if he met a poor man coming home, he would open the sack and give him handfuls of flour when he had nothing else.

Saint Vincent de Paul dira aux Prêtres de la Mission
Notre vocation est donc d’aller, non en une paroisse, ni seulement en un évêché, mais par toute la terre ; et pour quoi faire ? Embraser les cœurs des hommes, faire ce que le Fils de Dieu a fait, lui qui est venu mettre le feu au monde afin de l’enflammer de son amour.

Notre vocation est donc d’aller, non en une paroisse, ni seulement en un évêché, mais par toute la terre ; et pour quoi faire ? Embraser les cœurs des hommes, faire ce que le Fils de Dieu a fait, lui qui est venu mettre le feu au monde afin de l’enflammer de son amour.

Il ne me suffit pas d’aimer Dieu si mon prochain ne l’aime.
