“Our vocation is to go, not just to one parish, not just to one diocese, but to all over the world, and to do what? To set people’s hearts on fire, to do what the Son of God did. He came to set the world on fire in order to inflame it with his love.” St. Vincent

” It is not until you have had your own experience of helping someone in poverty that’s going to make a difference helping you to understand what its like to live in poverty.”
Pope Benedict explained it well… ” love of neighbor is a path that leads to the encounter with God, and that closing our eyes to our neighbor also blinds us to God.”
