A large number of letters written by St. Vincent de Paul have survived the centuries. On this Feast Day we encourage you to start or continue reading his correspondence often, to be spiritually fed and supported by his guidance. Famvin provides daily quotes online:

“Saint Vincent appears to us in his letters as his biographers describe him: simple; good; humble; wise; practical; not losing sight of the most minute details of a business matter; his eyes always raised to God, his rule and his guide; grateful for benefits received…”
– excerpt from the INTRODUCTION TO THE FRENCH EDITION by Pierre Coste, C.M., 1920 (English Translation)
“to be unacquainted with the writings of Saint Vincent is to miss knowing him deeply.”
– Former Superior General Richard McCullen, C.M.
