As I read the article A Short Life of Blessed Marcantonio Durando (1801-1880) found on vincentians.com, the part that struck me the most was the section on the Mercy Units, a small network of help centers to which people living in poverty could freely come, knowing that they would be welcomed and helped. They are also a fine example of collaboration among branches of the Vincentian Family.

Many thanks,Father Freund for your well researched presentation Thank you,Father Davitt for your translation & Nazarene Sisters for your authorship. This is Vincentian inspiration at its best! At my miraculous and somewhat infirm age of 81,I doubt if I could join a Mercy Unit but I can,by God’s grace,practice deeper and broader mercy to my brothers and sisters,the people whom God places in our paths daily.
Thanks again!
