Filed under The Place of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Vincentian Tradition
According to the words of St. Vincent, she, more than all other believers, penetrated the meaning and lived out the teaching of the gospel. We should express our love for the Immaculate Virgin Mary in many different ways, celebrating her feasts with devotion and praying to her frequently, especially through the rosary. We should make widely known the special message expressed through her maternal care by the Miraculous Medal.

“Give me a man of prayer and he will be ready for anything.” (SV, XI, 83) According to the mind of St. Vincent, prayer is the living source of the spiritual life of a missioner; through it he puts on Christ, becomes steeped in the teachings of the gospel, discerns things and events as before God, and remains always in God’s love and mercy. In this way the Spirit of Christ will always make our words and actions effective.
