Going to Jesus from Jesus

St Vincent de Paul was praying before the Eucharist one time and,

after a man told him about a poor person on the street needing help,

Vincent said:

 

"I am going to Jesus from Jesus."

 "Humility and charity are the two master-chords: one, the lowest;

the other, the highest; all the others are dependent on them.

Therefore it is necessary, above all, to maintain ourselves in these

two virtues; for observe well that the preservation of the whole

edifice depends on the foundation and the roof. "~ St Vincent de Paul
