About the Series

St. Vincent de Paul encouraged five particular traits in his comrades: simplicity, meekness, mortification, humility and zeal. Come discover the stories of these virtues and how they are alive in the daily experiences of those around us. Throughout the 40 days of Lent, a new story will be posted daily. See how the everyday practices of being honest, approachable, self-disciplined, realistic and hardworking, in the spirit of St. Vincent, can transform your own life and the lives of others.

Father Frank Sacks gave us a true story of a couple who love unconditionally both God and their neighbors. Without their seeking reward,God unconditionally manifested His love to them by way of heavenly surprise.

Indeed,this narration uplifts us to live simply in His grace.

Most gratefully,
