More quotes by Vincent de Paul
Always be quite simple and sincere and ask God to grant me those two virtues.
Vincent de Paul
Things arrange themselves with time. Only God can have everything to His liking His servants should act as Our Lord did.
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
With whose imperfections will you bear, and what insult are you capable of enduring, if a thoughtless word from your own Superior is unbearable?
Vincent de Paul
I hope that this man can be won over by your bearing charitably with him, advising him prudently, and praying for him. This is what I do for your family in general and for you in particular.
Vincent de Paul
Let us reflect that we shall always do God's Will and He will do ours when we carry out that of our Superiors.
Vincent de Paul
Peace is worth far more than anything they might take from you.
Vincent de Paul
Laws must never be made compatible with crimes, no more than lying should be in harmony with the truth.
Vincent de Paul
. . . God is pleased to communicate himself to the simple and humble and to use the smallest and lowliest to make them great and exalted. In a word, it is He Himself who has called and approved them and even inspired their humble manner of living.
Vincent de Paul
If you think something should be done, take the trouble to write to me about it, and together we will decide the time and manner of doing it.
Vincent de Paul
O Monsieur de Sergis, how important a matter is submission of spirit to a superior!
Vincent de Paul
Peace is worth more than all worldly possessions in addition, God rewards it even in this life.
Vincent de Paul
Remember, Monsieur that roses are not gathered except in the midst of thorns and that heroic acts of virtue are accomplished only in weakness.
Vincent de Paul
He is greatly honored by the time we take to weigh with mature deliberation matters having to do with his service, as are all those with which we deal.
Vincent de Paul
The angels would become incarnate if they could, so that they might come to earth to imitate the example and virtues of the Son of God!
Vincent de Paul
Nature makes trees put down deep roots before having them bear fruit, and even this is done gradually.
Vincent de Paul
So, our vocation is to go, not just to one parish, not just to one diocese, but all over the world and do what? To set people's hearts on fire, to do what the Son of God did. He came to set the world on fire in order to inflame it with His love.
Vincent de Paul
Remember the maxim of the Romans which states that by union and counsel we can achieve anything.
Vincent de Paul
You know that you yourself are not always in the same state. If you are exact today, closely united to God, and a consolation to the whole house, tomorrow you will be out of sorts, indolent, and a source of affliction to others. Then you will need their support, as you have supported them.
Vincent de Paul
Indeed, good is not good if one does not suffer in doing it.
Vincent de Paul
