Mother s Day Project Right Here Right Now by Patrick Madrid It's profound to consider what hangs in the balance when we share our faith with others. Patrick Madrid, in his highly engaging manner, speaks from a lifetime of experience to help Catholics effectively share the truth about Christ and his Church whenever the opportunity arises. Fantastic! This message is not only relevant but invaluable for Catholics giving witness to the Faith today. Brian - Fort Meade, MD Patrick's talk encouraged me to share my faith with others on a daily basis. Janet - Ottawa, ON His story was something I could relate to and get hope from when it comes to sharing my faith with others.

Saint Vincent de Paul The heart of Jesus preaching is the Beatitudes. They speak of basic attitudes of being and dispositions in life. Vincentians are Beatitude people: they opt for the Beatitudes that confront them with decisive choices concerning earthly goods. The Beatitudes purify their hearts in order to teach them to love God above all things. Vincentians understand Pope John Paul II s words: The Beatitudes are a call to action. Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and its patron, Saint Vincent de Paul.
