More quotes by Vincent de Paul
... bear with him as Our Lord bore with His disciples, who gave Him good reason to complain - at least, some of them did. Yet, He allowed them to remain in His company and tried to bring them around gently.
Vincent de Paul
If your men grow weary of the work or balk at obedience, you must bear with them. Get what you can gently from them. True, it is good to be firm in attaining your goal, but use appropriate, attractive, and agreeable means.
Vincent de Paul
When we receive with an entire and perfect resignation the afflictions which God sends us they become for us favors and benefits because conformity to the will of God is a gain far superior to all temporal advantages.
Vincent de Paul
The kingdom of God is peace in the Holy Spirit He will reign in you if your heart is at peace. So, be at peace, Mademoiselle, and you will honor in a sovereign way the God of peace and love.
Vincent de Paul
We should strive to keep our hearts open to the sufferings and wretchedness of other people, and pray continually that God may grant us that spirit of compassion which is truly the spirit of God.
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
When in Rome, you must do as the Romans do and accept the local customs, if they are not immoral.
Vincent de Paul
It is a maxim of ours to work in the service of the people, with the good pleasure of the pastors, and never to act contrary to their wishes. And, at the opening and closing of each mission, we get their blessing in a spirit of dependence.
Vincent de Paul
I will always welcome joyfully any opportunity that comes my way to be of service to you
Vincent de Paul
Indeed, good is not good if one does not suffer in doing it.
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
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
So, we pray well when we remain in this way in the presence of God, with no exertion of the understanding or will. Therefore, you will do well to listen to God in the urge you feel to return to us.
Vincent de Paul
Cast from your heart the bitterness.
Vincent de Paul
[N]or should you move so fast! The works of God do not proceed in that way they come about of themselves, and those He does not create soon perish.
Vincent de Paul
[E]xcess in the practice of virtue is no less imperfect than the lack of it.
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
I see that you are not sure of what you should do. You must remain steadfast, Monsieur. It would be a great wrong for you to leave and an irreparable scandal to the town and the Company. If you were to abandon the house, I do not think people would ever be willing to welcome us back. Fear not calm will follow the storm, and perhaps soon.
Vincent de Paul
The wisest persons, surprised by some passion, often say things they later regret.
Vincent de Paul
Never betray His principles for any reason whatsoever, and take great care not to spoil God's affairs by too much haste in them.
Vincent de Paul
