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."

“Extend mercy towards others, so that there can be no one in need

if God should withdraw His mercy from us?” ~ St. Vincent de Paul
 
 
St Vincent de Paul, pray for us!
