In the second installment of our video series for the celebration of the 400th anniversary of our charism Fr. Tomaž Mavrič reflects about another relic: the cape of St. Vincent de Paul, his companion of many years and for many roads that he travelled doing good.

Thank you,again,Father Freund and thank you,Father Mavric! You have inspired me to examine my conscience and look upon Saint Vincent’s simplicity of purpose,that is, your founder’s “holy indifference to God’s will”. So,I pray that I will serve God’s people only for God’s glory. Although I should know better, I needed a reminder to use my talents never for the purpose of human acclaim but in thanksgiving to our one true and triune God.
“Sola Dei Gloria!”
Most Gratefully,
Ed Ambrose
