Friday – 25th Week of Ordinary Time B - Memorial of Saint Vincent de Paul, Priest
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today we celebrate the memorial of the life and legacy of Saint Vincent de Paul and we are reminded not only of his extraordinary commitment to service but also of how deeply his understanding of Christ's true identity was the impetus that shaped his saintly life. Through the readings from Ecclesiastes and the Gospel of Luke, we are called to consider the appropriate times in our lives—times for planting and uprooting, healing and mourning—and how these seasons are underpinned by our knowledge of who Christ truly is.
