Defender of the poor. Founder of the Missionaries of Paul and the Daughters of Charity
September 27th: Memorial of Saint Vincent de Paul, Priest
Gospel text
Mt 9:35-38
Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness.
Gospel's Commentary
Today we celebrate the memory of Saint Vincent de Paul, “poor among the poor” Encouraged by the love of Christ, Vincent de Paul knew how to organize permanent forms of service for marginalized people, giving life to the so-called “Charities”, that is the groups of women who gave their time and belongings to the most marginalized people. —Some of these volunteers chose to consecrate themselves completely to God and to the poor, with St Louise de Marillac, and St Vincent, Founder of the “Daughters of Charity”.
