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. Throught 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.

This series was very well done and motivating during Lent.
The warm and personal insights by each presenter conveyed
the Vincentian values in a simple, straightforward way.

I will miss this series when Lent is over and we celebrate the
Resurrection of Jesus. Any thought of a follow on series for
Lent?
