As Christians, we seek both to see the face of Christ in the neighbor, and to be the face of Christ for the neighbor.   To help us with this, perhaps we should remember that even as Christ declares that “I am the light of the world,” He tells us also that “you are the light of the world.”  Thank you to all who support St. Vincent de Paul Society and our mission through your donations and for being “the light of the world” to our neighbors in need.

St. Vincent saw God’s presence most vividly in the poor  After all, the very God who put on the cloak of humanity to visit our humble home chose to do so not as a king, a warrior, or a man of wealth and power, but instead as a humble carpenter, sharing in our suffering and poverty.  Where else should we expect Him to await us?  Who better to remind us of His presence?  “You are serving Jesus Christ in the person of the poor,” St. Vincent said, “and that is as true as that we are here.”  Thank you for donating to St. Vincent de Paul Society and in so doing serving Jesus Christ in the person of the poor.
