Vincent de Paul

Vincent de Paul
[I]t is His good pleasure that we remain always in the holy joy of His love.
Vincent de Paul
I have made to God the offering you made to me of your heart and have asked him to unite mine with yours in that of Our Lord.
Vincent de Paul
It seems to me that the best way will be the one that is most gentle and forbearing, which is more in conformity with the Spirit of Our Lord and more apt to win hearts.
Vincent de Paul
Who will excuse us before God for the loss of such a great number of people, who could be saved by the slight assistance we could give them?
Vincent de Paul
The children of our Lord walk gladly in his ways they have confidence in him, and so when they fall, they rise again and if, instead of stopping to grumble about the stone they have tripped over, they humble themselves at their fall, this helps them to advance with great strides in his love.
Vincent de Paul
. . . [R]estlessness usually stems from pride and from being discontented with one's lot in life.
Vincent de Paul
Without [firmness] I see the majority of Communities that are lax reach that state because of the excessive leniency of Superiors. So, be firm, Monsieur.
Vincent de Paul
