    Did you learn about his total consecration to Jesus through Mary? Do you think that something you would like to do? I bet your mom can tell you more about it.

    I just read about him this morning in the Magnificat!
    I was really curious about the "Daughters of Wisdom" that he started. They didn't explain it. 😞 Do you know anything about it? Did you run across it in your research? 🤔

Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)

Vincent grew up a farmer's son, and he tended sheep when he was young. He wanted to be a priest, so Vincent studied, took up, and got ordained. His mission was to help the poor; he provided food and clothing for them. Tradition says that he was seized by pirates (while onboard a ship) and sold into slavery in North Africa! But he escaped (phew!) and made his way to Rome. He went back to France, and was appointed court chaplain to Queen Margaret of Valois. He is the patron saint of all charities.
