Using a science fiction parable, this Vincentian Mindwalk explores the vastness of God’s creation to gain perspective on our future, past and present.

Pope Francis uses the image of moccasins to describe his 5,000-mile pilgrimage, not of conquest but of contrition. In this Vincentian Mindwalk, Francis’s own words speak directly without media filters.
On the occasion of the commemoration of Saint Vincent de Paul, Pope Francis has written a beautiful reflection to all of us who live the Vincentian charism, which we reproduce below:
Sunday, May 7, 2017 marks the 54th Anniversary of the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. The Vincentian tradition of praying for vocations
It is with great joy that I invite you, all members of the Vincentian Family, to come to Rome on the weekend of 12 – 15 October 2017 for a Vincentian Family Symposium. Our Jubilee theme “Welcome the Stranger” is the focus of this event.
“…none of us is an island, an autonomous and independent ‘I,’ separated from the other, and we can only build the future by standing together, including everyone”
Don’t leave it to others to be the protagonists of change. You, young people, are the ones who hold the future! I ask you to be builders of the world, to work for a better world.
