More quotes by Vincent de Paul
I cannot think of the results of your labors without shame at the little we do.
Vincent de Paul
. . . [I]n the kingdom of charity, one prefers to suffer some inconvenience rather than inconvenience the neighbor.
Vincent de Paul
. . . . [P]ersons who love very much, easily take offense at trifles. No doubt your excessive affection for me makes you a little diffident about mine. But there is no harm done I hope you will soon be over this slight jealousy and be convinced that nothing can change the genuine affection Our Lord has given me for you
Vincent de Paul
If God is the center of your life, no words are necessary. Your mere presence will touch hearts.
Vincent de Paul
Let us allow God to act He brings things to completion when we least expect it.
Vincent de Paul
There is no act of charity that is not accompanied by justice or that permits us to do more than we reasonably can.
Vincent de Paul
I would rather him to bear patiently with it than to put himself in danger of a greater evil.
Vincent de Paul

Vincent de Paul
It is not light they need but strength, and strength permeates through the external balm of words and good example.
Vincent de Paul
Since you know the means of getting better, in the name of God, make use of them. Do not take on anything beyond your strength, do not be anxious, do not take things too much to heart, go gently, do not work too long or too hard.
Vincent de Paul
There is a vast difference between an Apostolic life and the solitude of the Carthusians. The latter is truly very holy but is not suited to those whom God has called to the former, which is in itself more excellent.
Vincent de Paul
[L]et us work to rid ourselves of our attacks of over-zealousness especially when it offends against respect, esteem, and charity.
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
If there is any danger in the present weather, in the name of God, Monsieur, wait until spring
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
Let us be submissive to Providence, He will see to our affairs in His own time and in His own way
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
You say you experience great difficulty in the mission. Alas! Monsieur, there is no lot in life where there is nothing to be endured.
Vincent de Paul
. . . It is God's plan that those who are to help others spiritually fall into the temptations of mind and body by which others can be tormented. . . . Scorn both these evil suggestions and the wickedness of their author, who is the devil.
Vincent de Paul
Your soul will be blessed, Sister, if you bear patiently the troubles of mind and body His Providence sends you, or which come to you from within and without.
Vincent de Paul
