È chiamato il Tommaso d'Aquino della carità; come S. Tommaso diede al mon-do cristiano il capolavoro della teologia con la sua Somma, così S. Vincenzo de' Paoli con le sue isti-tuzioni diede agli uomini il capolavoro della carità. Seppe raccogliere nell'ani-ma sua tutto ciò che la gen-erosità cattolica, nel vol-gere delle età aveva trovato per sollevare il dolore e la povertà.
Nacque a Puy nella diocesi di Dax, il 24 aprile del 1576. Piccolo e povero, aveva spartito il pane della sua colazione coi compagni di scuola. Possedendo una volta trenta soldi li aveva regalati ai poveri. Portando del grano al mulino ed incontrandosi con un mendico, gliene aveva dato la metà. A dodici anni studiò a Dax, a 16 faceva ripetizione al figlio di un avvocato, perchè il padre povero non poteva fargli continuare gli studi. A venti anni riceveva gli or-dini minori, ed a 24 il Sacerdozio. I primi anni di ministero furono terribili per il giovane prete, ardente di carità, ma necessariamente senza es-perienza: consumò non solo tutto il suo, ma contrasse debiti notevoli per cui si trovò in serie difficoltà: diffi-coltà che risolse con sapienza e con l'aiuto di anime buone. Consigliato da Pietro De Berulle, accettò la parrocchia di Clichy, dove fece tanto bene; s'incaricò dell'educa-zione dei figli di casa Gondy che furono mecenati gen-erosi per le sue molteplici opere di carità; e diede la celebre missione di Colleville che fu la prima di una lunga serie, ottenendo mirabili conversioni. Nominato regio cappellano di tutte le galere di Francia, fu il padre dei galeotti e pose ogni cura per sollevarli dalle loro miserie. Ottenne che fossero trattati meno duramente, fondò ospedali per gli ammalati, e la sua comparsa nelle galere era una festa per quei poveri disgraziati. Un giorno le guardie lo trovarono in una cella, legato alla catena in veste da galeotto. Aveva messo in libertà un miserabile e l'aveva sostituito. Confessore d'Anna d'Austria, distribuì due milioni in elemosine. Aprì orfanotrofi, ricoveri per i vecchi, ritiri per i dementi. Per tutte queste opere occorreva il personale adatto ed a questo scopo istituì le Figlie della Carità. Né qui si fermò la sua ardente carità. Egli attese anche al clero: istituì delle conferenze ecclesiastiche che ancor oggi continuano tra il clero di Francia, fondò seminari e spesso diede esercizi ai chierici ordinandi. Infine riunì in congregazione i sacerdoti che lo aiutavano nelle sue opere e li chiamò Preti della Missione. Morì all'età di 84 anni, affranto dalle fatiche, il 27 settembre del 1660. La Francia atea gli innalzò un monumento. Leone XIII lo dichiarò patrono universale delle Congregazioni di carità.
FATIMA DAY OF PRAYER
Because of the importance of the Fatima Centenary in the life of the Church Universal, we will have a day of prayer on Saturday, October 7. In addi-tion to being the First Saturday, it is also the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
We will begin with the 9 AM Mass at St. Andrew. After Mass, we will screen a movie about the Ap-parition of Our Blessed Mother in Fatima. The af-ternoon will consist of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament praying the Rosary, the Stations of the Cross, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Confessions and Benediction.
We will close this day of prayer with the Saturday, 4pm Mass. Continental Breakfast in the morning and lunch will be provided. The cost is $15 per person. Please contact Blessed Miriam Teresa Demjanovich Parish office for information or to register (Tel: 201- 437- 4090). Registration is re-quired for us to plan accordingly.
AMERICA NEEDS FATIMA
On Saturday, October 14 the Catholic community of Bayonne will gather at the Fatima Shrine outside St. Vincent Parish to pray the Rosary in honor of the 100th anniversary of the final apparition of Our Blessed Mother in Fatima.
