Vincentian Inspirations

"Usually, God wills to save men [and women] through men;

Our Lord, Himself, became man to save all."

- St. Vincent de Paul

“Usualmente, la voluntad de Dios es salvar a hombres [y mujeres] a través del hombre;

Nuestro Señor, El mismo, se hizo hombre para salvarnos a todos.”

- San Vicente de Paul

Lord, help me to care for others as you have cared for me.

May no opportunity for an encouraging word or a listening ear pass

Señor, ayúdame a cuidar a los demás como tú me has cuidado.

Que no deje yo pasar una oportunidad para compartir una palabra de aliento,

o para escuchar a alguien.
