Mission to Read
Book Recommendations
|
|
The Vincentians have always tried to answer the call to a New Evangelization by employing modern-day communication techniques to share Christ’s love with the poor. The Church has been doing this for centuries. There exists
a recording of Leo XIII singing the
Ave Maria
.
This makes him both the oldest born person to be recorded (b.1810) and the first pope (1878-1903) in history to have his voice recorded. Hear the recording
HERE.

Our Lady is Very Vincentian.
The Miraculous Medal was entrusted to St. Catherine
Labouré
, a Daughter of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. This gives the Vincentian family a unique connection to the Blessed Mother. In this spirit,
above is the oldest known image of Mary, nursing Jesus,
from Catacombs of Priscilla, circa 3rd century.

“If I can stop one heart from breaking”
by Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
